Converting GTRACK.BIN to KMZ

This is steps that I used to get the track log

I’m using Mapking G12,so i’m not sure whether this steps apply for other version

  1. Go to Advanced -> Display Setting -> Track Log (enable it)
  2. Select “Navigation” and drive around with/without destination
  3. If you select “Map View”,you should see dots on the map.That’s your track log.
  4. Go to SD Card -> MagaNavi (this folder might be different) -> user.Copy GTRACKMP.BIN to your pc.
  5. Go to this site http://www.noktek.com/~gps/log2kml.htm upload GTRACKMP.BIN and you’ll get a kmz file which could be easily read by text editor.
