How to convert kml to jnx file

Many map and navigation formats can be either export or converted to some exchange format or even between each other, hence it is likely that some programs may offer the possibility of conversion between Google Earth Keyhole format (.kml) and Garmin map files (.jnx). For example the MAPC2MAPC utility seems to be able to perform this conversion.

Understanding KML and JNX file formats

KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is a file format used to display geographic data in Earth browsers like Google Earth. It uses a tag-based structure with nested elements and attributes and is used to represent points, lines, polygons, and images.

JNX is a file format used by Garmin devices for storing raster maps. These maps are often used for outdoor activities like hiking and biking, providing detailed topographic information.

How to convert KML to JNX

Converting KML to JNX involves transforming vector-based geographic data into a raster map format suitable for Garmin devices. This process can be complex due to the differences in data representation between the two formats.

Best software for KML to JNX conversion

One of the best tools for converting KML to JNX is GPSBabel. It is a free software that supports a wide range of GPS data formats and can be used to convert KML files to JNX format.
