Conversion from RTZ to WKT

Upload your RTZ - Route Plan Exchange Format data files (typically used in software like ECDIS systems, Furuno, Kongsberg, Wärtsilä (Transas), JRC, Raytheon Anschütz or NAVTOR) and convert them online in a few clicks to WKT - Well-known text (.csv + WKT column) format (most commonly used in software such as PostreSQL/PostGIS, Spatialite or QGIS) or to many other formats commonly used in GIS and CAD systems.

How it works

  • 1

    Data upload

    Upload one or more RTZ - Route Plan Exchange Format files (or a .ZIP / .7z archive).

  • 2

    Review and display

    Reviewing input data parameters and displaying their extent on a map.

  • 3

    Conversion options

    Settings for format options and conversion parameters.

  • 4

    Download result

    Resulting WKT files are packaged in ZIP format and ready for immediate download by the user.

Technical details

Input data
Format RTZ - Route Plan Exchange Format (IEC 61174)
Description Standard XML format for exchanging voyage route plans between ECDIS and other navigation and voyage planning systems (IEC 61174 Annex S). Contains waypoints with leg properties and optional schedules.
File type vector / single-file (XML) / ZIP container (RTZP)
Extensions .rtz / .rtzp
Note Route with routeInfo, ordered waypoints (position, turn radius, leg data such as XTD, safety contour, speed limits, draught, UKC, orthodrome/loxodrome), optional schedules (ETA/ETD, speed) and manufacturer extensions. Converted to layers route_points, legs and route.
Supported geometries POINT LINESTRING

Output data
Format Well-Known Text (geometry)
Description OGC text encoding for single geometries; supports curve types. Often used for interchange via CSV/DBs rather than standalone files.
File type vector / single-file
Extensions .wkt / .txt
Note Plain text geometry encodings; often embedded in CSV/DB fields.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum allowed size of input data?

The maximum size of the uploaded file is 5 GB. If your file is larger, you can try to compress it into a ZIP file with the maximum compression level (9) or, even better, into a 7z file. The contents of the package will be automatically unpacked on the server.

How secure is my data?

All data transfers are performed using the encrypted SSL protocol, which ensures secure data transfer. Both uploaded and converted data is temporarily stored in the data center and is further processed according to the user’s request. After some time, the data is automatically deleted - there is no need to delete it manually.
