GoRider GPS (.rt)
A .rt file is a named route made of street-level waypoints — GoRider GPS's own text format for exchanging a planned route.

History
No public documentation of the .rt format or the software/device that produced it could be found; RouteConverter's own source (present since the project's earliest history) is the only available reference for its shape. A current, unrelated GoRider brand sells motorcycle GPS navigators in Europe, but no confirmed link to this specific file format exists, so no connection is claimed here.
Where it is used
Not documented publicly; RouteConverter reads and writes the format based entirely on its own parser, without an external specification to point to.
Structure
A plain-text file: a header line naming the route (#CREATED="…" MODIFIED="…" NAME="…"), followed by one line per waypoint in the form STREET="…" PT="longitude latitude" — a street name paired with a coordinate, space-separated, embedded in quotes.
How widespread
No evidence of current or widespread use could be found; treat this as a legacy, thinly documented format.

| Writes | GoRider GPS |
RouteConverter reads and writes GoRider GPS routes as a single, non-multi-route file; each position's description is stored as its street name.
