This is another exciting blog post in the product category of Aspose.GIS. In this guide, we will implement how to convert GPX to KML in Python. GPX files are generated by GPS devices such as fitness watches. At the same time, Google Earth and Google Maps use KML files to visualize geospatial data. However, Python developers can leverage this GPS SDK to develop a GPX to KML converter. Aspose.GIS for Python via .NET is a powerful SDK to manipulate geospatial data and file format conversion. So, let us jump to the implementation right away.

GIS SDK Installation

We have mentioned the installation steps in our previous blog posts too. However, you may download the SDK files or use the following command:

pip install aspose-gis-net
