Import GPX (GPS track) files
Reads various elements from a *.gpx file — metadata, waypoints, tracks and routes — and converts them to dataframes.

bounds |

waypoints |

Waypoint is a point of interest, or named feature on a map. Track is an ordered list of points describing a path. Route is an ordered list of waypoints representing a series of turn points leading to a destination.
