This was from a OpenJUMP GIS user, sent on the OJ user email list (21 Nov. 2011):
You can use ogr2ogr for converting GPX files into shapefiles. Note that there are several layers in a GPX file as listed by ogrinfo
C:\data\OSM>ogrinfo test.gpx Had to open data source read-only. INFO: Open of `test.gpx'
using driver `GPX' successful.
1: waypoints (Point) 2: routes (Line String) 3: tracks (Multi Line String) 4: route_points (Point) 5: track_points (Point)
Command to use is like
ogrinfo -f "ESRI Shapefile" tracks_out.shp test.gpx tracks
- f outputformat (optional in this case, .shp is the default) output file input file input layer
GPX plugin and live GPS has worked for me but I have not used them recently.
