The .AXE file extension is a XML-based map file that is used by the Microsoft Autoroute route planning application. It contains geographical layers and details from OpenStreetMap, such as maps of roads, buildings, rivers, national parks, and more. The AXE file type can also store points of interest data with detailed descriptions and images. It is used to record routes as part of Autoroute's route planning feature usually starts with multiple waypoints and then creates an optimized route based on them.
Technical Specifications
The AXE file can be associated with both the Windows version as well as the Mac OS X version of the Autoroute software. File sizes are typically small in size and can range from under a kilobyte (KB) to several megabytes (MB). It is created in a UTF-8 encoding schema which can save variable length Unicode characters. Its XML structure contains GPS coordinates and distances, followed by various waypoints and other data stored in tags. These files can be viewed and edited with any plain-text editor.
Similar File Extensions
Files with similar extensions include .MXL, .CRD, ROUTE, .KML, and .GPX.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .AXE) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .AXE extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .AXE file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .AXE extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .AXE extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .AXE file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .AXE file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .AXE file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .AXE file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .AXE file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
