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 OV2 to LMX?
To successfully convert the OV2 file to LMX, 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.OV2). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case LMX (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 LMX).
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. OV2 to LMX. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting OV2 files to LMX 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 LMX, while before this step we had the OV2 file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new LMX file, or not.
