DNRGarmin is a program for Windows developed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for managing and manipulating geographic data in conjunction with Garmin GPS devices. It includes a considerable number of features and functionalities that make it a valuable asset for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
Transfer geographic data
The software allows you to interact with geographic data collected by portable GPS devices. Thus, it is possible to transfer waypoints and routes between the tracker and a personal computer. This feature is particularly useful for mapping and analysis purposes.
With this tool, you can easily import and export data in various formats, including shapefiles, Google Earth KML, and GPX. If you need to perform actions with Magellan GPS navigators, you may use another utility called Magellan Content Manager.
