intertronic Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 can you provide the img as example? did you tried with FME Workbench? maybe http://www.qlandkarte.org/ just fit your requirements if you just Need to share a img map in another gps system 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msig0000 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 @intertronic FME does not support img and qlandkarte does not either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intertronic Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Qlandkarte GT is the successor to Qlandkarte. It supports Geotiff, has a much more advanced map viewer (2d/3d), and can read Garmin Typ files. The main project site can be found here: New: http://www.qlandkarte.org/ QLandkarte GT is the ultimate outdoor aficionado's tool. It supports GPS maps in GeoTiff format as well as Garmin's img vector map format. Additional it is the PC side front end to QLandkarte M, a moving map application for mobile devices. And it fills the gap Garmin leaves in refusing to support Linux. QLandkarte GT is the proof that writing portable applications for Unix, Windows and OSX is feasible with a minimum of overhead. No excuses! QLandkarte GT does replace the original QLandkarte with a much more flexible architecture. It's not limited to a map format or device. Thus if you think your Magellan GPS or other should be supported, join the team. Additionally it is a front end to the GDAL tools, to make georeferencing scanned maps feasible for the normal user. Compared to similar tools like QGis, it's target users are more on the consumer side than on the scientific one. QLandkarte GT might not let you select every possible feature of the GDAL tools, but it will simplify their use to the demands of most users.(source www.qlandkarte.org as of 08 December 2008) QLandkarte cannot read Garmin .img files directly. You need a .tdb file (mkgmap option --tdbfile) to open .img files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdogz Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Well, its pretty easy, you save your garmin img as polish format then use global mapper to extract (export) to esri arcgis shapefile. worked for me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabersan Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi msig0000, I just have look at your image that to put on Dropbox. First thinks that I can see is that you have multiples *.img files. My point of view is that you have to separate them in order to get only one displayed within you viewer. I say that because your export windows schema from GPSMapEdit looks empty. So maybe the problem is coming from there. Have look on mine. Note: If you are using the version bring by bigears then you will have this blank schema. darksabersan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart1974 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hi Garmin NT Maps can not be converted into a shapefile, there is no software till date that can do this. Non NT old Garmin maps can be converted by first unlocking the map and the by using GPS Mapedit to same in Polish Format. After that you can convert into Shapefile using registered version of GPS Mapedit. Stuart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, you split the img file into subfiles, the result would be a GMP format. With the help of THIS TOOL, then you can extract the GMP into five type of subfiles (.LBL, .NET, .NOD, .RGN and .TRE). Recompile those five subfiles into non-NT IMG file with GMapTool (use join tab). Using GPSMapedit you can save the non-NT IMG into polish format. And finally convert it into shapefile either using registered version of GPSMapedit or Global Mapper.

Can u please share snapshot for Garmin NT format It does really work. You probably missed one step or two during the process. One method you can do to check whether the file is NT or non-NT is by using GPSMapEdit, because it won't open NT format otherwise it will. Here I show you the snapshot when I try to open an NT format file in GPSMapEdit. Spoiler Here is the same file with a non-NT format. Spoiler OK, since I cannot edit my previous post, I am going to re-explain the procedures here. I enclose some snapshots for the clarity. Open the GMAP Tool Add the NT formatted img file/s (in my case, filename is 62320070.img) Spoiler If we click info button, we'll see this. Go to Split tab and create subfiles. Click Split All. Spoiler The result is a file with GMP extension. Download Garmin-GMP-extractor.exe tool and then put it in the same folder with your working files. Drag the GMP file into the Garmin GMP extractor tools. It will explod/extract the GMP fiel into five type of subfiles (.LBL, .NET, .NOD, .RGN and .TRE) Spoiler Back to GMAPTool. Add those subfiles. Spoiler Go to Join tab. Name the output file and directory. We can give mapset name. And the click Join all. Spoiler Here is the log of the process FINALLY, the result is another img file with non-NT format. If you watch closely there is a slight difference of filesize between both files. Spoiler If click info button in GMAP tools, here is what we see. Edited September 19, 2017 by upay82 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Hi people, How do you export to shp files from GPSMapEdit? When I try, I get this message Export to ESRI shapefiles is available only in registered copy of GPSMapEdit (License 2.0) My GPSMapEdit 2.1.78.8 is licensed with NGEN keygen.
