About Google Timeline (.json)

Google Timeline's JSON export (via Google Takeout) is a time-stamped list of visited places and path segments from Google's Location History. Exported by Google Maps/Timeline; RouteConverter only reads it — Google's own apps never read this export back in.

About GPX (.gpx)

GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an open XML format for waypoints, tracks and routes, with optional time, elevation and extension fields. It's the universal GPS interchange format — read and written by Garmin Connect, Google Earth, OsmAnd, Strava, komoot and nearly every GPS app or device made since 2004.
