request for GPX file(s) containing the public rights of way of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole

Information about how public rights of way data for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole has been obtained appears on this web page. That web page also explains how the data has been released with a licence that enables you to use this data. The date of this data is 11th October 2024. That web page also explains how I've produced a KML file from this data. This KML file is called "original.kml". I have also converted the KML that is in the file "original.kml" into the KML format that is used by this web site for all authorities. This KML file is called "converted.kml".

This web page enables you to produce one or more GPX files from "converted.kml". These GPX file(s) can be obtained by filling in the form below.

Do you wish to download separate GPX files for each type of public right of way, i.e., separate files for footpaths, bridleways, restricted byways and byways open to all traffic?
If you choose to split, the four kinds of paths will be shown in red, fuchsia, green and blue.
Splitting is recommended.

split into footpaths, bridleways, ...

If you chose to split, the four GPX files will be about 419120, 147168, 2502 and 16197 bytes long.
whereas if you choose not to, the single file will be about 578905 bytes long.
If you are going to use the GPX file with an app on a mobile phone, your mobile phone may not be handle files that are large.
So in the box below choose a size in megabytes and each GPX file that is bigger than this size will be split into smaller GPX files. Choose a value from 2 to 30. Choose 30 if you do not wish the file to be split. As the above values are small, I suggest you leave this box containing 30.

megabytes

Do you wish the GPX file to include waypoints that give the name of each public right of way?
If you don't include waypoints, any map produced by an app using the GPX file will be less cluttered.
So not including waypoints is recommended.

Credit: When Googling about using GPX with the OSMAnd app, I came across this web page by Nick Johnston. It made me grasp the nettle of providing the ability to break up a GPX file into fragments. I'm also grateful to Nick for his feedback on earlier versions of these web pages for generating GPX files.

Other formats: This web site also provides information about the public rights of way of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole in other formats: the original data provided by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, in KML format, in CSV format and in GeoJSON format.
