Someone gave me a TOMTOM .gps file which was created in TOMTOM v3, and is the result of recording a route.

I;ve looked at the POI conversion utilities, and none seem to recognise the .gps format (I've tried renaming to the listed TOMTOM file extensions eg .ov2 etc - but to no avail).
The file is obviously binary - and therefore can't be interpreted without knowing the structure.

How do I get this into an autoroute Route or pushpin list ?

(PS I use POImanager).

TomTom log files are not binary. They are plain text, at least when you use the NMEA protocol. If that file is SiRF then you are outta luck.

Thanks - but it doesn't work.

It reads the file - but says '0 records read'. I can see the file is 71K - so must contain something ! Crying or Very sad

The file was generated from TOMTOM3, and a Fortuna GPS using the record feature.....

If you email the file to me I will see if I can sort it out.
