Description

Hello, thanks for the wonderful app!
It would be awesome if the gpx public share page could show a preview of the track.

Something similar to when a .md file is shared: the user reaching the public share links can preview the file as well as downloading it.
Example of shared .md file: https://ichibi.eu/index.php/s/MoB84krK3BgtWFK

ATM when sharing a .gpx file, the file can be downloaded, but not previewed on the map.

Thank you!

Research direction

Start at the public share page and compare its existing .md preview and .gpx download paths, then trace how map previews are rendered. Done means a shared .gpx file displays its track on the map while remaining downloadable, matching the requested public-share behavior.
