Convert SHP files to GPX in QGIS 3

Apparently converting shapefile vector layers (*.shp) to GPX format is often a complicated task. But in QGIS is easier than you think. Usually, at some point is required to move our layers to a GPS device, in this entry we will see how to do it with a few simple steps.

First it is required to load the shapefile inside QGIS, in order to convert to the GPS eXchange Format (GPX).

The following fields must now be configured as a priority, although it is optional for the rest of the fields:

File name: Selects a directory and name for the GPX file.
CRS: Selects the projection of the file.
GPX_USE_EXTENSIONS: YES
FORCE_GPX_TRACK: YES

Additionally you can configure the geometry type, the spatial extension and other options. It is also possible to record in other formats such as SpatiaLite, GeoJSON, Geopackage, among others.
