Plotting GPX tracks with Shiny and Leaflet
Lately, I got the chance to play around with Shiny and Leaflet a lot - and it is really fun! So I decided to catch up on an old post of mine and build a Shiny application where you can upload your own GPX files and plot them directly in the browser.
Of course, you will need some GPX file to try it out. You can get an example file here (you gonna need to save it in a .gpx file with a text editor, though). Also, the Shiny application will always plot the first track saved in a GPX file. Also, only tracks are supported at the moment, no routes or waypoints. Basically, most sports tracker apps or devices produce such files.
