Got a GPX track that your GPS device or app won’t accept? The free RouteConverter edits and converts routes, tracks and waypoints; it reads many GPS file types, detects formats automatically, and displays route data on a map.
How does RouteConverter handle different GPS files?
Open a route, track, or waypoint file and RouteConverter identifies its format automatically, even when the file extension does not make it obvious. It reads more than 90 formats and can export data for GPS devices and mapping services.
Common conversion workflows include GPX to FIT or TCX, KMZ to GPX, and Google Maps Timeline data to GPX. The program also supports RTZ route exchange files. Its map view lets you inspect imported data before exporting it in another format.
Can routes be changed on the map?
Route waypoints can be moved by dragging them on the map, with the route recalculated through BRouter. Routing profiles cover car, bicycle, and hiking trips. RouteConverter can also reorder waypoints and calculate distance and travel time.
- Export a route for a GPS device or an app.
- Keep original waypoint metadata during route export.
What tools are available for recorded tracks?
The elevation profile gives a view of height changes along a track. RouteConverter can recalculate elevation using SRTM data, simplify a track to a chosen point budget, and clean noisy GPS points. Multi-day tracks can be split or merged, including their separate segments.
How can waypoint lists and geotagged photos be managed?
Waypoint tools include bulk editing for names, descriptions, and icons, plus conversion of waypoint categories across vendors. A recorded track can also be used to geotag photos. Garmin POIs can be exchanged with GPX waypoints.
