How to open file with .GMAP extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .GMAP file? Do you want to convert a .GMAP file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

Full Name Developer Category
Garmin Map Format Garmin GIS Files
.GMAP

GMAP (Garmin Map File) is a special file extension developed by Garmin Ltd. It is used specifically to store digital maps for the Garmin GPS devices and applications. The files use the .gmap extension and contain raw map data typically obtained from a paid or free subscription source. This data includes navigational information such as points of interest, nautical data, roads, cities and other pertinent geographical information.

Compatibility and File Openers

The GMAP format is compatible with various Garmin devices and applications. To open and view the contents of these files, users can utilize the Garmin BaseCamp. Additionally, third-party applications like GPSMapEdit, iGO Maps, or OziExplorer also have flexible support for this type of file. If you’re attempting to convert a GMAP file into another map format, you may need a dedicated map conversion tool such as GPX2GE, which helps exchange data from different map formats including .gpx, .kml, .geo, or plt.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .GMAP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .GMAP extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .GMAP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .GMAP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .GMAP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .GMAP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .GMAP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .GMAP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .GMAP file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .GMAP file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .GMAP file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
