About
Professional Garmin Export tool with a Processing Toolbox provider for QGIS Modeler and batch workflows, converting QGIS vector layers to Garmin IMG format using the mkgmap compiler. Supports QGIS 3.44/Qt5 and QGIS 4.2/Qt6 through a shared compatibility boundary. The UI provides live/restart-safe translation, SVG language flags, RTL Arabic, readable combo/check controls, retranslate-safe dialogs, tooltips and actions. Features: one-click download of the full mkgmap/splitter distributions (zip archives with all dependency libraries; QGIS forbids bundling jars), automatic TYP styling generated from QGIS layer symbology, JSON-based type mapping, multi-level map support, advanced mkgmap tuning and logging options, comprehensive label code-page support (UTF-8 plus Windows/DOS/CJK pages), batch processing of all project layers, and a 12-language interface (EN, RU, DE, ES, FR, PT, ZH, HI, AR, ID, TH, VI). Requires Java (JRE 8+) which the plugin can auto-detect.
