GPX Editor
GPX Editor is a Mac app for opening, editing, and saving GPX GPS data files used for routes, tracks, and waypoints.
What is GPX Editor?
GPX Editor is a native Mac app for working with GPX files, the GPS Exchange Format used by mapping, hiking, cycling, and trip-planning tools. It helps users open GPX data, review routes, tracks, and waypoints, make edits, and save the updated file for later use in compatible GPS and mapping apps. The app is useful for travelers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who manages GPS paths on a Mac. Its documentation also notes that GPX Viewer shares the same editing functions, while GPX Editor adds file saving. Published by Modesittsoftware, GPX Editor fits workflows where users clean up recorded tracks, adjust waypoints, and prepare GPX files for navigation or sharing.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
GPX Editor is a standard desktop utility for GPX files. Access to location information is consistent with its mapping purpose, since the app can display your position and calculate distances relative to map locations. As with any mapping or file-editing app, open GPX files only from sources you trust, because imported location data may reveal sensitive travel history or home locations.
Recommendation: Keep GPX Editor if you edit or save GPX route, track, or waypoint files on your Mac. Remove it if you no longer work with GPS data, and expect GPX files to open in another compatible app instead.
