The RTE .RTE file extension is an output format for navigation software created by OziExplorer. The file extension stores route data, including route names and comments, waypoints and their coordinates, track points, and route characteristics. It is used to generate a navigation route between multiple locations or to chart a specific path for navigation. It can be used in conjunction with GPS software to help guide navigation.
Detailed Description of.RTE Files
RTE files are created by OziExplorer, a popular navigation software used in both online and offline maps. An RTE file contains route information that can be exported from OziExplorer and imported into other software like ExpertGPS, CoPilot Live, CompeGPS, and mapping softwares like MapSource, Topo USA, and Google Earth. Additionally,.rte files can be exported to GPS devices directly. Commonly, these files contain route names and comments, waypoints and their coordinates, track points, and route characteristics such as speed limits and one-way restrictions.
.RTE files are the primary route generation file type used by OziExplorer, though the other file types associated with the software include .WPT, .MAP, .PLT, and OZF2/.OZFX3. Those formats contain map information respectively.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RTE) 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 .RTE 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 .RTE 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 .RTE 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 .RTE extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RTE file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RTE 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 .RTE file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RTE file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RTE file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
