The AUT file extension is associated with GPSMan (GPS Manager) and is used for automapic files related to its map-handling functions.
GPSMan is designed to manage GPS information and work with maps on Linux and Unix platforms. AUT files are specific to GPSMan and may not be recognised by other mapping or GPS applications.
Open the file with GPSMan on Linux or Unix. Start GPSMan and use the relevant map or automapic function to load the file.
AUT files are intended for use by GPSMan rather than for exchange between mapping applications. When another format is required, use GPSMan's own import or export features on the underlying GPS data where available; this does not convert the AUT automapic file itself.
