RouteConverter

by



Google Earth's KML has become one of the most popular formats to exchange information about routes, tracks and waypoints next to the GPX format.

What is RouteConverter? RouteConverter is a popular open source tool to display, edit, enrich and convert routes, tracks and waypoints licensed under the GNU Public License. RouteConverter is a free, user friendly GPS tool to display, edit, enrich and convert routes, tracks and waypoints. It helps me to plan routes and consolidate tracks and I hope it could help you. The new tour tries to visually show highlights of RouteConverter while the completely rewritten features section aims at describing all features in.

RouteConverter supports all current KML versions:

  • 2.0 (used in Google Earth 3)
  • 2.1 (used in Google Earth 4)
  • 2.2beta (used in Google Earth 4.2)
  • 2.2 (used in Google Earth 5 and above)

And it has support for three popular extensions:

And RouteConverter parses the extra information that these track loggers provide in the description fields:

  • Tavellog
  • Navigon 6310
  • BT 747
  • Qstarz
  • WBT 201

Thus additional information is extracted from and written to KML files:

  • time
  • speed
  • elevation
  • external position lists
  • tracks
  • kilometer marks
  • speedbar

RouteConverter is a free and open source route converter software download filed under mapping and made available by Christian Pesch for Windows.
