- Description
- A GPS Database File (.gdb) is a file format used primarily by Garmin GPS devices and software. The .gdb format stores geographic information, including waypoints, routes, tracks, and other navigational data used for mapping and GPS navigation. These files allow users to save and manage their navigation data on Garmin devices or within compatible software, facilitating route planning, tracking, and sharing of geographic information. The GDB format supports various data types, making it versatile for different GPS-related applications.
- A GeoJSON file is a format for encoding a variety of geographic data structures using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). It is a widely used open standard format designed for representing simple geographical features, along with their non-spatial attributes. GeoJSON supports various geographical data types such as points, lines, polygons, and multi-part collections of these types. It is commonly used for storing and exchanging spatial data on the web, as well as within various Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
