Q: Is my GPX file uploaded to a server?

No. This viewer runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your file never leaves your device, which also makes the viewer fast and private.

Q: How is the estimated hiking time calculated?

We use a Naismith-style estimate: a base pace of 4.5 km/h plus one extra hour per 600 m of elevation gain. Treat it as a fit-hiker baseline and add margin for breaks, terrain and pack weight.
