RouteConverter is a free, open-source desktop program for displaying, editing and converting GPS routes, tracks and waypoints between more than 90 file formats, among them GPX, KML/KMZ, Garmin FIT, TCX, NMEA and TomTom ITN/OV2. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and ships with its own Java runtime, so no separate Java installation is needed.

Maps are rendered offline from Mapsforge vector maps built from OpenStreetMap data, with online tile maps as an alternative. Routes are calculated offline with BRouter or GraphHopper on downloadable routing data. Positions can be complemented with elevation, postal address and speed data, and the elevation profile is shown below the map.
