Merge gpx files.

You can use GPX Editor or  EasyGPS or G7ToWin to merge GPX files.

Download GPX Editor   HERE  .

Download EasyGPS   HERE  .

Download G7ToWin  HERE  .


GPX to SHP.

You can use "gpx2shp" to convert gpx file to shp files (WGS84).

Download "gpx2shp"  HERE .

You need to download the file  gpx2shp-0.69_win_notest.zip.   Unzip it.
To use the program, you just drag and drop the GPX file on the gpx2shp.exe (executable file).
The output is called [gpxfilename]_wpt.shp (.shx, .dbf, and so on) if the GPX file contains points.
Or use Command Prompt Commands (cmd) .
