What is a SHP file?
SHP (Shapefile) is a geospatial vector data format developed by Esri. It’s widely used in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) for mapping and spatial analysis.
A single SHP file is usually accompanied by SHX and DBF files to store geometry and attribute data. Together, they represent points, lines, or polygons for representing locations and shapes.
How to open SHP files
SHP files can be opened using GIS applications like QGIS, ArcGIS, and MapInfo. They often come with related SHX and DBF files needed for proper data display.
Convert SHP to GEOJSON, KML, or CSV using AnyConv or geospatial conversion tools.

GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an XML-based file format used to store GPS data, including waypoints, tracks, and routes. It’s widely supported across GPS devices, mapping applications, and fitness trackers.
GPX files are used for outdoor navigation, trip logging, and sharing geospatial data. They are both human- and machine-readable, making them easy to inspect and edit.
