Files that contain the .gpx file extension are commonly referred to as GPS Exchange Format files. The information that is contained in a GPX file can include waypoints, tracks and routes. This data format allows for the exchange of GPS information between different applications and users. It is an open standard file format and can be used by a variety of software programs. The initial GPX file format was released in 2002. Then in 2004 GPX 1.1 was introduced. Since then it has been the default XML standard for the interchange of GPS data.
The GPX file format is based on XML formatting, allowing it to be imported by a variety of GPS applications and devices.

About File Extension GPX
File.org aims to be the go-to resource for file type- and related software information. We spend countless hours researching various file formats and software that can open, convert, create or otherwise work with those files.
If you have additional information about the GPX file format or software that uses files with the GPX suffix, please do get in touch - we would love hearing from you.

I'd like to do some basic editing to my GPX files which I record from my mobile. Features I'm looking for are:
- open GPX file
- display data of GPX overlayed on a map (google, bing, whatever)
- select and delete points
- select and move points
- export back to GPX
What I've found so far:
- JOSM with the EditGpx plugin which doesn't do #4 (move points).
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpxeditor/ which doesn't do #4 (move points).
- GPS TracMaker which has a very poor points selection system.
The reason I want this is to offset part of the recorded path to fix possible GPS errors.
Is there a software which will allow me to do this?

QGIS can read GPX tracks, allow you to edit them over a base layer map (google, openstreetmap, stamen toner, etc) and save in any of a zillion formats.
Its Open Source, runs on Linux, Mac and Windows. There is an android port but I think its a bit beta and might be less functional.
I know you said 'basic' GPX editor but these things grow up fast, and you'll grow with it.
I always check the OSGeo Live DVD for the best Open Source geo software, so maybe GPS Prune or something else will do it for you.

I am using Garmin Basecamp for GPX editing. Possible free background maps can be all Openstreetmap derived Garmin maps. With routable maps, it is even possible to create new routes and upload them to the device. BaseCamp unfortunately does not run on Linux.
Editing capabilities are also offered by Viking, which can also have OSM tile background.
Alternatively, you can use QlandkarteGT for displaying GPX files on top of Garmin maps, Tile services like OSM or any available WMS service.

I have had the exact same needs - after much research I stumbled across JGPSTrackEdit - it's written in Java and does everything you've requested & much more. See: https://sourceforge.net/p/jgpstrackedit/wiki/Home/

You can do all the requirements you have using JOSM.
