File Extension | KML |
Full Name | Google Earth Keyhole Markup Language Format |
The extension .KML stands for Keyhole Markup language file. This type of file is used mostly to store, geographic information which is used for modeling the information in a xml based format. Internet based two dimensional maps and geographical interactive browsers use the data from the KML file to show the end users, detailed geographical visuals.
File Extension | UPOI |
Full Name | IGO Points Of Interest Format |
Files with the UPOI extension are related to the GPS satellite navigation software installed in portable devices manufactured by NNG Kft. This software is Nav N Go iGO. UPOI files are used to store POI (Point of Interest) data. These can be different places on the map (shop, gas station, tourist facility or any other place defined in the file).
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "KML") to another (referred to as "UPOI"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, KML file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format KML to format UPOI becomes essential.
So, how can we perform KML to UPOI file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format KML and transforming it into format UPOI. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of KML to UPOI converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of KML to UPOI. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the KML file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
