What is LMX file?
The LMX (Landmark Exchange) file extension was first created by Landmark Graphics Corporation. It is a proprietary file format used to store geological information created with Landmark software. LMX files are used to store data related to all aspects of excavation site management, such as data from boreholes, logs, and core samples. Technical Details LMX files are typically composed of multiple sections. [ ⏩ ] LMX file extension
What is OV2 file?
OV2, known also as .OV2 file extension, is a points of interest (POI) database used by the very popular satellite navigation system TomTom. It contains important location data information that can be displayed on the device's display. OV2 files are basically plain text files coded using UTF-8 and are typically saved in GPX (GPS Exchange Format) format. Although the TomTom brand name is widely associated with OV2 files due to their popularity, other brands like Garmin also support this file type. [ ⏩ ] OV2 file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from LMX to OV2?
To successfully convert the LMX file to OV2, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.LMX). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case OV2 (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than OV2).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. LMX to OV2. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting LMX files to OV2 files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension OV2, while before this step we had the LMX file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new OV2 file, or not.
