I am looking for a way to automate conversion from .Shp to .Gpx. I know how to save a shapefile into gpx in a layer, but it would take too much time to do 1 by 1 as we might receive thousands of shapefiles that need conversion.



I am not very prone in coding, especially in QGIS, so does anyone have an idea or maybe even a code to make this possible with QGIS?






pyqgis shapefile convert gpx

  • Do you have to use pyqgis or could you make use of the commandline ogr2ogr converter directly? ogr2ogr -f GPX out.gpx in.shp With a little batch scripting you can loop through the files/folder and convert everything in one.

You can do this in qgis with gdal convertformat in the processing plugin:



processing.runalg("gdalogr:convertformat","input_shp", 16, "FORCE_GPX_TRACK=YES","output_gpx")


Now for your case you have a lot of layers, all you have to do is to make it in a loop

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates.

Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
