Extract text from map and game files (VRC)
To convert VRC data files to another format, you need ViewRanger or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Application Data" file type, you need software like ViewRanger or a similar tool.
A .VRC file is a proprietary data container most commonly used to store offline GPS maps for the ViewRanger mobile application. It is also utilized as a track data file for Virtual RC Racing and as a configuration file for VRChat. These files are highly specialized and designed exclusively for their parent software.
The main disadvantage of the .VRC format is that it is completely proprietary. ViewRanger map files are locked behind closed formatting, meaning they often exceed 100MB, cannot be opened by standard web browsers, and are fundamentally incompatible with modern desktop mapping software like Google Earth. Similarly, game and configuration files are useless outside of their specific engines. Users frequently want to convert these files to standardized formats to preserve their purchased maps or route data, but standard online converters fail to process them because the internal data structure is unpublished and encrypted.
Because this is a closed format, often only the original software can properly read or export the data. For GPS routes, the best target formats are GPX or KML, though you typically must export these directly from the original app rather than converting the offline map cache. For configuration variants, standard text formats like TXT or JSON are ideal.
Even with these limitations, convert.guru can help. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Our system analyzes the binary structure to show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or extracting the data may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your VRC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted VTX, SAM, MPH and VRM files.
If you want to convert VRC file to VRM, MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV or ASF, you can use ViewRanger or similar software from the "Proprietary App Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to VRC, try ViewRanger or another comparable tool in the "Proprietary App Data Storage" 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 VRC converter.
