Convert a GPI file from Your Garmin to .gpx format

Convert a GPI file from Your Garmin to .gpx format

For this, we will use GPSBabel. Download GPSBabel from http://www.gpsbabel.org/download.html. Scroll down until you see the Latest Release section and then choose the version for your computer. I chose the GPSBabel for Windows (which at the time of this writing was "GPSBabel-1.5.1-Setup.exe")

After installing GPSBabel, open the program.

For the "Input", select File and use the down-arrow at the right of the Format field to fiind "Garmin Points of Interest (.gpi)".

Click on the "File Name" button and navigate to the .gpi file you wish to convert.

For our purposes, the Translation Options will have "Waypoints" checked

For the "Output", select File and use the down-arrow at the right of the Format field to fiind "GPX XML".

Then click on the "File Name" button and navigate to the folder in which you want the output to be placed. Finally, give the output a file name and click the Save button of the "Output File Name" dialog.

Click the green OK button.

In the bottom section, you should see a "Translation successful" message.

Close GPSBabel.

Navigate to the folder where the output file was placed and open the file with EPE or Wordpad
