- 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.
- An OSM file contains street map information in the OpenStreetMap (OSM) format. It saves XML-formatted data in the form of "nodes" (points), "ways" (connections), and "relations" (street and object properties, such as tags).
