GPS Route Converter
The last years have seen a huge increase in websites that have added GPS information to provide their visitors with an additional service. The gps data offered on those websites usually comes in kml or gpx format. KML means Keyhole Markup Language, an international standard supported by many Google applications like Google Earth and Google Maps.
GPX on the other hand is the GPS exchange format, a light-weight XML data format which is more or less the standard gps transfer format on the Internet. While most web applications and software programs support those formats most gps devices have their own proprietary format that cannot read gpx or kml data.
That is where Route Converter comes into play. The multi-platform tool can convert gps data between various formats and provides a few extra options to adopt the data to the needs of the user.
Router Converter is a Java application which means it requires Java to be run. On the positive side the software does not require any installation.
The easiest way to use the application is to load a source gps file, select a destination file format and save it. About 30 gps formats are supported by Route Converter, the best way to find out if the gps format of your gps device is supported is to check out the features page of Route Converter that lists all the supported formats.
