The gar file extension is related to GPS_COM, a program which performs Downloading, Uploading, and Listing of User, Route, Almanac, Track, and Proximity Databases, and Uploading of Aviation Databases using the serial interface.

Where possible, these operations take place at up to 115,200 baud. GPS_COM is part of AviaDBM Software for Garmin.

Help how to open:

This file type is not meant to be opened directly, there is no software that could open and work with it directly, or there is no information available in public sources about opening this file type. This is usually the case of some internal data files, caches, temporary files etc.

How to convert:

As far as we know, this .gar file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.
