Now on iOS

From Google Maps
to your Garmin, in a tap.

GPX Bridge turns a shared Google Maps route into a clean GPX course your cycling computer can follow. No accounts. No subscriptions. Just ride.

Free, no account Ad-free for a one-time $1.99 Works with Edge, fenix & more
How it works

Three steps. Sub-thirty seconds.

No exporting, no fiddling with file types, no signing into yet another service. The flow you already know — with one new step.

  1. Plan in Google Maps

    Build your route the same way you always do — directions, multi-stop, the lot.

  2. Share to GPX Bridge

    Tap the share sheet, pick GPX Bridge. We detect the route and parse the geometry.

  3. Send to your Garmin

    Save the GPX or push it straight to your device as a course. Then mount up.

Built by cyclists who got tired of the workaround.

If you've ever copied a Google Maps link to a desktop, run it through three sites, and emailed the GPX to yourself just to load it on your Edge — this is for you.

Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Built for shared links

Works with directions shared straight from the Google Maps app — including maps.app.goo.gl shorteners.

Direct to Garmin

Push courses straight to your device over Garmin Connect, or save the GPX and load it manually.

Built for iOS

A native iOS experience. The share sheet is a first-class entry point.

Private by default

No accounts, no cloud profile, no route history on our servers. Routes are converted and forgotten — nothing is kept.

Not just Google Maps

Ride with GPS links work too, as does any .gpx file you share in — a Strava or Komoot export, for instance.

Free, with a way out of the ads

Every feature is free and unlimited, paid for by ads. One $1.99 purchase removes them for good — no subscription.

Pricing

Free to use.
Ad-free if you'd rather.

Every feature is free and every conversion unlimited — ads are what keep it that way. If you'd rather not see them, one purchase turns them off permanently. There is no subscription and nothing to cancel.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Don't see yours? Get in touch.

Which Garmin devices does it work with?

Any Garmin that accepts a standard GPX course file — Edge cycling computers (530, 540, 830, 840, 1040…), fenix, Forerunner, Instinct, and most others released in the last decade.

Does the app need an internet connection?

It needs a connection to fetch the route geometry from a shared Google Maps link. Once the GPX is generated, transferring it to your Garmin works offline.

Is my route data shared with anyone?

No. Routes are processed for the conversion and are not stored on our servers, sold, or shared. There is no account system to leak data from in the first place.

What route types are supported?

Cycling and driving directions from Google Maps work best. Walking and transit aren't the intended use case — though they often work in a pinch. If a route was planned for driving, the app says so before it converts, since a driving line can put you on roads you would not choose on a bike.

Does it only take Google Maps links?

No. Ride with GPS links work as well, and you can share any .gpx file into the app — an export from Strava or Komoot, say — and hand it straight to Garmin Connect.

Is GPX Bridge free?

Yes, and every feature is included. Nothing is held back behind a paywall and there is no limit on how many routes you convert. Ads are what pay for it: a banner at the bottom of the screen, plus an occasional full-screen ad after a conversion you started from the share sheet, capped at one every few minutes.

How do I get rid of the ads?

Open Settings in the app and tap Remove ads. It is a one-time US$1.99 purchase — not a subscription, so there is nothing to renew or cancel. Both the banner and the full-screen ads stop the moment it goes through.

I bought ad removal. How do I get it on a new phone?

The purchase belongs to your Apple Account, not to a particular device. Install GPX Bridge on the new phone while signed in to the same Apple Account, then tap Settings → Restore purchase. You will not be charged again, and it works the same way across every iPhone and iPad you use.

Can I get a refund?

Refunds for anything bought on the App Store are handled by Apple rather than by us — request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. If Apple grants it, the app goes back to the free, ad-supported version the next time it checks in with the store.

Do the ads track me?

Only if you say yes. On first launch iOS asks whether GPX Bridge may track your activity across other apps and websites. Decline and you still get ads — they simply aren't personalised, and your advertising identifier isn't used. You can change your mind at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. The privacy policy has the detail.
