[GIS] How to get the GPS track data into a graphics program

garmingpspolyline-creation

I'm using a Garmin Edge 705 bike GPS/computer unit, which produces .gpx files. I can use the standard software it comes with to plot on Google Maps etc, but I'd like to be able to output just a vector polyline for use in Adobe Illustrator.

Any ideas? I'm guessing .svg is going to be the best format, and I could use Inkscape or similar if that makes it any easier.


Sorry, other projects are taking up my time but I will try the suggestions out as soon as I can.

Use QGIS - http://www.qgis.org/ First import the GPX file, then from print composer export SVG.
