Garmin ActiveTrack(NVM) to GPX

This web app (http://blog.zyrax.net/garmin) was release in conjunction with my GF’s birthday.Happy Birthday Darling!!!

WARNING: This web app ONLY accept Garmin’s Active Track.

*Special thanks to an unknown Russian who figure out the formula and MalFreeMaps for the free maps.MFM ROCKS!!

Export Mapking G12 POI to KML/GPX

I wrote an web apps (http://blog.zyrax.net/mapking) to convert Mapking G12 POI to Google Earth KML.However,I’m not sure whether it will work with Papago G12 as I only have Mapking G12’s PPGPOINE.DAT (if your Papago G12’s POI don’t work,please let me know).

Work In Progress
Mapking G12 POI -> Garmin txt
Google Earth KML -> Mapking G12 POI
Garmin txt -> Mapking G12 POI

If you were wondering what’s PPGPOINE.DAT,it’s Mapking G12’s binary POI file.It’s located in SDcard -> MagaNavi -> USER -> PPGPOINE.DAT

If you encounter any problem,please post a comment here.

Step 1. Create a new file called shell.ini
Step 2. Paste this in

/windows/explorer.exe

Step 3. Copy it into SD card and run “Navigation”
**Note:this step will disable navigation until u delete shell.ini from SD card or you can open it from windows explorer by looking for “MobileNavigator”

Converting GTRACK.BIN to KMZ

This is steps that I used to get the track log

I’m using Mapking G12,so i’m not sure whether this steps apply for other version

  1. Go to Advanced -> Display Setting -> Track Log (enable it)
  2. Select “Navigation” and drive around with/without destination
  3. If you select “Map View”,you should see dots on the map.That’s your track log.
  4. Go to SD Card -> MagaNavi (this folder might be different) -> user.Copy GTRACKMP.BIN to your pc.
  5. Go to this site http://www.noktek.com/~gps/log2kml.htm upload GTRACKMP.BIN and you’ll get a kmz file which could be easily read by text editor.
