About GPX (.gpx)
GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an open XML format for waypoints, tracks and routes, with optional time, elevation and extension fields. It's the universal GPS interchange format — read and written by Garmin Connect, Google Earth, OsmAnd, Strava, komoot and nearly every GPS app or device made since 2004.
About KML (.kml)
KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is an XML format for placemarks, paths and polygons, built for map visualization rather than device navigation. It's native to Google Earth and Google Maps' "My Maps", and read by most desktop GIS tools.
