Convert JNX to HDR

The JNX file extension stands for "BirdsEye JNX Raster Map" and is used by Garmin devices like the Alpha 100 and Montana 650 for navigating terrain. It contains a large raster map divided into small tiles for optimized rendering and includes an encrypted unit ID for the specific Garmin device. JNX files are part of the BirdsEye subscription service, allowing fast map rendering and supporting up to 5000 tiles per level. However, they are device-specific and cannot be created from other raster maps.

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, and in the context of Radiance, it refers to a file format used for storing high-quality images. The Radiance HDR format was developed as part of the Radiance rendering system, which originated in the late 1980s at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Its primary use is in the field of computer graphics, where it captures a wider range of luminance levels compared to standard formats, enabling more realistic lighting effects. This format is particularly beneficial for tasks requiring precise light measurements and accurate visualizations, making it indispensable for professionals in fields such as architectural visualization and visual effects.
