- 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 GPX file is a GPS data file saved in the GPS Exchange format, which is an open standard that can be freely used by GPS programs. It contains longitude and latitude location data that may include waypoints, routes, and tracks. GPX files are saved in XML format, which allows GPS data to be more easily imported and read by multiple programs and web services.
