Convert JNX to HEIF

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.

The High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF) is a modern image format designed for superior compression efficiency and enhanced image quality. Originating in 2015, HEIF was developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and utilizes the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) codec to store image data. It supports a wide range of multimedia applications, including single images, image sequences, auxiliary image items, and non-image items, making it highly versatile for professional and consumer usage in various devices and platforms. Its ability to maintain high image quality while reducing file size significantly improves storage efficiency and accelerates data transmission.
