Most users rely on their GPS device simply to get to their destination, but RouteConverter turns the device into more than a route companion: a complete map storage system. One of the platform's main advantages is that it converts GPS data into more than 50 different formats, so you can manage and edit them on any computer.
Once you download the program from its official page, you'll see how the tool automatically detects the file with which you can manage or edit the route by generating or deleting points (Waypoints). On the left side of the interface you'll find the map (Google Maps) and on the right the information of the points (description, length, latitude, altitude). Another advantage is its support for multiple routes, from Google Earth, GPX, and Garmin MapSource.
Another advantage of the platform is the ability to download maps from anywhere in the world (it draws from the best pages in each country). This way you can create your own route of any area, and thanks to its intuitive interface you can create points (at the bottom of the interface) and edit them.
After finishing, you only need to save the route and export it to almost all formats used by GPS devices, so you can copy it to your device easily and without compatibility issues.
