What is a TRKZ file?

TRKZ files mostly belong to ECDIS.

TRKZ files are compressed archives that hold maritime navigation track data. They use the ZIP format to bundle information from voyage records.

Primary use: They store route and track points for Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS), used in ship navigation.

How they work: After unzipping a TRKZ file with any standard ZIP tool (like 7-Zip or WinZip), the contained track data can be loaded into navigation software such as Transas Navi-Sailor 4000.

FilExt.com note: The design allows for safe transfer and efficient storage of detailed voyage data.

TRKZ format details:

To view or edit TRKZ files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program.
