Opening LOC files may require applications like the TopoGrafix EasyGPS, an application that allows users to quickly and easily upload and download waypoints, listing them on the left side of the screen so that a GPS data plot can be shown on the right. LOC files are saved in a different format than that of GPX files although they have similarities.how to open a .loc file?

Be careful not to rename the extension on .loc files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .loc. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
