Straighforward and uncomplicated GPX viewer
GPX Viewer provides a wonderful way to display and share GPX tracks on WordPress posts. It is perfect for my blog about cycling trips. The default settings, with an elevation chart and a basic statistics panel shown below the main map, suit my needs well. Thankyou for this useful plugin.

Good, fast and simple GPX Viewer
Good GPX viewer, simple and fast, with OpenStreetMap and OpenTopoMap capability. I still have to try it with different types of GPX files, but the premises seem good to me

Breaks Gutenberg
My Gutenberg blocks kept breaking, and I couldn't figure out why. Turns out it was this little weasel right here... Stay clear from it.

Gutes Plugin
Great plugin, does exactly what it's supposed to. From me, it's 4 stars. If there are no security issues, it's a solid 5-star rating. @ Alex How about the code quality here? I've installed Wordfence on my project and after 3 hours, a security notice popped up indicating that the file had changed. No malicious code can be injected here, right? I look forward to your feedback :D Filename: /.../.../.../wp-content/plugins/gpx-viewer/js/gpxCleaner.js Message Wordfence: This file belongs to plugin "GPX Viewer" version "2.2.5" and has been modified from the file that is distributed by WordPress.org for this version. Please use the link to see how the file has changed. If you have modified this file yourself, you can safely ignore this warning. If you see a lot of changed files in a plugin that have been made by the author, then try uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin to force an upgrade. Doing this is a workaround for plugin authors who don't manage their code correctly.

Great potential
This plugin has great potential to become a full running statistics for WP Idea: - Week, month and year state - Maybe something like citystrides.com (were you run all the streets in a city) - Sotering at various clubs and or areas

A very good plugin for distributing GPX files
This plugin is just what I've been looking for and does the job well. Just a few points, firstly the full-screen mode doesn't seem to work with Safari browser (you get a black screen), although it seems fine with every other browser I've tried, secondly, I've had to add a css statement .content { width:100%; } to get the table to float alongside the graph on Safari. These are probably Safari quirks rather than problems with the plugin. One other thing: I'd like a way to display the Author of the GPX file, to give them credit for it. Apart from those issues, I really like this plugin very much.
