JaVaWa RTWtool (the successor of MacGPX) is a program that allows various conversions of routes, tracks and waypoints. There are options to 'de-flag' routes, convert routes to tracks and vice versa, convert a collection of waypoints to a track or direct route. Routes and tracks can be filtered to limit the number of points per route / track, and they can be split if they exceed a specified length.

Route points accidentally put off road can be corrected automatically.

Routes and tracks can be converted to a series of waypoints; in the case of routes you get a result similar to the Hermanizer.

Furthermore, routes and tracks can be converted to courses for the Garmin Edge, with the ability to automatically generate course points which warn you for changes in directions in a track or for turns in a route. Waypoints can also be converted to course points.

Finally, there are conversion options for TomTom, Google Earth and Google Maps.

Routes, tracks and waypoints can be separately converted and/or processed, and both the input and the result can be displayed on a map.

File formats

JaVaWa RTWtool not only supports GPX files, but a variety of different file formats.
The following file formats can be read:

GPX, GDB, MPS: routes, tracks and waypoints;
TCX, CRS, HST: activities and courses; course points will be loaded as part of the course, but can also be converted to waypoints;
FIT ¹⁾: activities and courses (as with TCX) and waypoints;
KML, KMZ: tracks (paths) and waypoints (placemarks);
ITN: routes;
OV2: waypoints;
CSV: waypoints;
NMEA, NMA, LOG: tracks and waypoints;
a folder with file types mentioned above.

1) When having a corrupt FIT file, most of the times JaVaWa RTWtool can read it. It will be indicated when a file is not complete.

JaVaWa RTWtool can write to the following file types:

GPX, GDB: routes, tracks and waypoints;
TCX, FIT ²⁾: courses (and course points);
KML: tracks (paths) and waypoints (placemarks);
ITN: routes;
OV2: waypoints;
HTML: a map with routes, tracks and waypoints.

2) A FIT file always contains a single course. When converting several courses simultaneously, the first file will get name that you had specified, the others will have a sequential latter appended to the name.

When importing and converting additional attributes like cadence, heart rate and temperature will be processed too.

Changelog

Version	Changes
1.5	Minor change for compatibility Google Maps export with Internet Explorer.
1.4	New: option to add elevation data to tracks and waypoints.
1.3	Added option to write to a CSV file.
1.2	Added option to convert routes to direct routes using only via points. Improved 'glitches' removal routine. Small cosmetic changes.
1.1	Added option to define map size when exporting to Google Earth. Changed from FIT to TCX format when exporting courses to Edge, because the Edge 800 cannot handle multiple files (= bug in device) Fixed bug with NMEA import.
