    Default Garmin Birdseye JNX format hacking

    Right i think its about time we got one back on garmin and hacked there JNX format.

    Yes i know they have given us the kmz and allowed us to have upto 100 custom made tiles but in some cases this just aint good enought.

    There jnx file format allows far more than than an i think we should all club together and start hacking the format.

    I have been looking into this JNX file and here is what i have found out so far i am hoping if we all pool are resourse we can hack the whle format.

    Starting with what ties you birdseye images to your garmin well if you download a birdseye image it will insert a lock down code this code can be found at 58hex to 7bhex.

    If you have some one elese birdseye just remove there code and insert your own. When you load you GPS there image will now be allowed on your device.

    If you look within jnx file you will also find a bunch of jpeg images look for this string of hex 00 FF E0 the image continues down to FF D9 string.
    This image is the image displayed upto the 1.2mile mark. To view this image in a image viewer copy the data from FF E0 to FF D9 to another file and insert FF D8 into the first to bytes of the new file. Save the file as a jpeg image and it will load in your image viewer.

    More info to come later..........

    I have translated the research from russian using google translate.

    JNX

    Briefly about the format
    Files in JNX used in Garmin maps to display maps service BirdsEye.
    The main pluses JNX compared with maps Custom Maps (KMZ):
    (Seemingly) unlimited number of fragments of maps;
    multiple levels of detail;
    high speed display device map.
    A significant drawback is its size JNX rigid adherence to the device.


    The purpose of picking
    Since BirdsEye services from satellite imagery in Russia can not tolerate any criticism, really want to somehow accommodate the tile format for displaying JNX genshtabovskih and other scanned maps on the new devices Garmin, not to be tied for the loss of the format KMZ.
    If it is possible to fully understand how to make your own JNX and make arbitrary garminovsky navigator (with support JNX, of course) to work with these JNX, it will be possible to make converter card format OziExplorer format JNX.


    Internal Structure
    The information below is still very imprecise and are the result of a preliminary study. It is likely that dropped from consideration any important files region JNX.
    File format JNX can be divided into 5 parts:
    title;
    table with a description of levels;
    Service information loader maps;
    table describing the tiles;
    a set of tiles.
    Now a closer look at each of these parts.
    Note 1: All two-and four-byte fields below, using "Intel's" byte order, ie the least significant byte first, and then the older ones.
    Note 2: In all tables below, except for the description of the title, the bias will be relative to the beginning of the file, unless otherwise stated.


    1. Title
    Offset from the beginning
    Header Field Type Description
    0x00 int32 Apparently, the signature. In all JNXah in this field is kept value 0x00000003.
    0x04 int32 ID device for which makes the card. In the demonstration maps, this field is zero.
    0x08 4 int32 coordinates, which draws a card. Description of the system of coordinates, see below.
    0x18 int32 Number of levels of detail.
    0x1S 5 int32 Apparently, there is stored binding code to the device. The format of the fields is not yet known.

    On the coordinates used in the files JNX.
    Coordinates are stored as a landmark 4-byte integers. Two pairs of numbers describe the coordinates of two corners of cards (the importance of the sequence of angles is not yet clear). The first value in the pair is the latitude, the second - longitude.
    To obtain the coordinates of these integers must be divided by 0x7fffffff, and then multiply by 180.
    Example. Assume the file contains the coordinates of 0x1FCD7932, 0x1ADEBDDA. After conversion, the coordinates of N 44 ° 43'20 .81 ", E 37 ° 47'9 .80".


    2. Table describing the levels
    Number of levels of detail in the header specifies the number of elements in this table.
    Structure elements: the Offset from the beginning
    Table Field Type Description
    0x00 int32 Number of tile per level.
    0x04 int32 offset to the description of the first tile at the level.
    0x08 int32 Apparently, the scale at which shows the level of the tiles.

    As used and that the mean value in the field scale, it is not clear.
    In the JNX, I have seen the value of the field scale were as follows: 0x12A95 (76,437) at the first level, 0x12A9 (4777) on the second, 0x4AA (1194) or 0x255 (597) in third.


    3. Service information loader card
    This file is part of the JNX, apparently, is not used for displaying maps. Then keeps a list of URLs from which it downloads the individual tiles, as well as specified GUID maps and copyrights.

    4. Table describing tile
    Offset from the beginning
    Table Field Type Description
    0x00 4 int32 Coordinates single tile.
    0x10 int16 width of the image.
    0x12 int16 height of the image.
    0x14 int32 image size in bytes.
    0x18 int32 offset to the image.



    5. A set of tiles
    Tiles are the usual images in JPG, of which vykusheny markers SOI (ie, the initial two bytes of 0xFF, 0xD8).
    Most of the images have a resolution of 256 by 256 pixels.



    Until all.
    If you have any comments or additions to the format JNX, please write to the author.
    Also, I would highly appreciate if send are small (less than 5 megabytes) do not examples of demonstration files JNX.
