Mapking G12 is an application that normally reside on Personal Navigation Device (PND)/Windows CE/symbian.It lacks of features such as “export favorite POI”.This is a converter to convert the binary POI to useful POI.

This is how I did it on my GPS Bay 3303.

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”

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.
