Un-public formats' description (based on reverse engineering results)
Garmin: BIN Links: www.memotech.franken.de/FileFormats/ Files: Garmin_BIN.pdf
Filename extensions: *.BIN. Single ARM firmware file for Garmin outdoor GPS devices.This type of firmware files is encountered only embedded in GCD and RGN firmware update files. Last change: 2019-03-02. |
Garmin: GCD Links: www.memotech.franken.de/FileFormats/ Files: Garmin_GCD.pdf
Filename extensions: *.GCD. Firmware update file for Garmin outdoor GPS devices. Last change: 2019-03-02. |
Garmin: IMG, ADM Links: www.memotech.franken.de/FileFormats/ Files: Garmin_IMG_ADM.pdf
Filename extensions: *.IMG and *.ADM. Garmin Image (IMG) and UserData (ADM) Container File Format. This file format is used to combine a set of files into a single file. It is similar to a file system on a disk, but it lacks hierarchy. The contained files (called subfiles) form a flat list - there are no subdirectories. This file format is used for image files (IMG) with filename extension *.img and for user data files (ADM) with filename extension *.adm. There are separate documents available here for the IMG and ADM subfiles. Last change: 2019-11-17. |
Garmin: IMG Subfiles Links: www.memotech.franken.de/FileFormats/ Files: Garmin_IMG_Subfiles.pdf
Filename extensions: *.DEM, *.GMP, *.IDX, etc. Garmin IMG map file for use in outdoor GPS devices. It uses the IMG/ADM container file format to combine all the subfiles into a single file (documentation is also available here). This document describes the file formats of the following subfile types:
--DEM Digital Elevation Model; --GMP Subtile of a larger area; --IDX ?; --LBL Labels for map elements, city names, localities, etc.; --MAR ? marine? (in bluechart 2 nautical charts); --MD2 ?; --MDR Binding individual map files together; --MPS Similar to the TDB file in that it is a list of maps along with other information describing the set; --NET Road network information (intersections, etc.); --NOD Routing information; --QSI ?; --RGN Map elements such as polylines, polygons and points; --S16 ?; --SNR ?; --SRT Lookup table for characters; --TRE Map structure information that organizes the map elements into a data tree; --TRF ?; --TYP Custom rendering styles. How a map element will be rendered on the GPS which allows you to display things in a different way. Last change: 2019-11-16. |
Garmin: ADM Subfiles Links: www.memotech.franken.de/FileFormats/ Files: Garmin_ADM_Subfiles.pdf
Filename extensions: *.PRX, *.RTE, *.TRK and *.WPT. The Garmin ADM file is used to store user data on marine GPS devices. It uses the IMG/ADM container file format to combine all the subfiles into a single file (documentation also available here). This document describes the file formats of the following subfile types:
--PRX Proximity records; --RTE Routes; --TRK Tracks; --WPT Waypoints. Last change: 2018-11-17; |
Garmin: MDX Links: www.memotech.franken.de/FileFormats/ Files: Garmin_MDX.pdf

Garmin: MPS, GDB, GFI Links: www.memotech.franken.de/FileFormats/ Files: Garmin_MPS_GDB_and_GFI.pdf
Filename extensions: *.MPS, *.GDB and *.GFI. Files with filename extension *.mps are created by MapSource. Starting with version 6, MapSource introduced a slightly modified format using filename extension *.gdb. BaseCamp stores its user interface data in *.gfi format. Last change: 2018-01-01. |
Garmin: RGN Links: www.memotech.franken.de/FileFormats/ Files: Garmin_RGN.pdf
Filename extensions: *.RGN. Firmware update file for Garmin outdoor GPS devices. RGN probably stands for "region". Note that the RGN files contained in IMG files have a completely different structure and purpose. Last change: 2019-02-26. |
Garmin: TDB Links: www.memotech.franken.de/FileFormats/ Files: Garmin_TDB.pdf
Filename extensions: *.TDB. Topographic Database: The file that holds the information which *.img belong to the mapset. Mapset: An assortment of map tiles (*.img) that is joined together by .tdb, overview image (mapset00.img), and .mdx (cited from here). Last change: 2019-03-08. |
Navico: AT5 Links: www.memotech.franken.de/FileFormats/ Files: Navico_AT5.pdf
Filename extensions: *.LCM and *.AT5. Navico map format. The AT5 map format is a Lowrance map format supported by a wide range of Lowrance GPS devices [..]. The AT5 format is able to combine vector layers, such as contour lines, with raster (image) layers (cited from here). AT5-charts work with seachart-plotters from Lowrance, Simrad and B&G. It is also possible to use them with Insight Planner which is a tool for marine navigation (cited from here). Last change: 2018-01-01. |
Navico: Map Creator Project Links: www.memotech.franken.de/FileFormats/ Files: Navico_Map_Creator_Project.pdf
