Extract text from TomTom itineraries (ITN)
To convert ITN itineraries to another format, you need TomTom MyDrive or other GIS software.
To convert other file formats to the "GPS Navigation Route" file type, you need software like TomTom MyDrive or a similar tool.
The .itn file format is a GPS itinerary route file created by TomTom navigation devices and software like TomTom MyDrive. It contains a sequence of geographical coordinates (waypoints) that form a specific driving route. It is primarily used to plan road trips on a computer before transferring the data to a physical TomTom hardware device.
However, the .itn format is proprietary and severely restricted to the TomTom ecosystem. You cannot open it directly in modern web browsers, Google Maps, or rival GPS devices like those from Garmin. Sharing an .itn route with someone who does not own a TomTom device is essentially pointless without extra software. While the data is often stored as plain UTF-8 text, the specific coordinate formatting is unique to TomTom.
To make this data useful elsewhere, the best approach is converting the .itn file to a universal format like GPX (GPS Exchange Format). This guarantees maximum compatibility with fitness apps, mobile maps, and other navigation brands. You can also convert it to KML for 3D viewing in Google Earth. Note that device-specific alerts or routing preferences may be lost during conversion.
Because this is a specialized closed format, standard online document converters often fail to process it.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ITN file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted GPX, OV2, PNA and SAV files.
If you want to convert ITN file to SVG, AI, EPS, PDF, JPG, CDR, WMF, EMF, SWF, FLA, XFL or SKETCH, you can use TomTom MyDrive or similar software from the "GPS Itinerary Routing" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert AFPUB, EPS, FIG, VSD, SKETCH, VDX, AFPHOTO, PDF, AFDESIGN, SVG, VSDX or AI files to ITN, try TomTom MyDrive or another comparable tool in the "GPS Itinerary Routing" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ITN converter.
