Extract text from GIS files
To convert your GIS file to another format, you need DJI GO 4 or other GIS software.
To convert other file formats to the "Telemetry & Spatial Data" file type, you need software like DJI GO 4 or a similar tool.
The .GIS file extension is a notorious homonym in the digital world, representing several completely different proprietary formats that share a three-letter code. Most commonly (approx. 54%), it is a Flight Record created by DJI drones (such as the Phantom or Mavic series) via the DJI GO 4 app. These binary logs store critical telemetry data - GPS coordinates, battery voltage, altitude, and remote inputs - but they are unreadable to humans and locked away in a proprietary structure that standard spreadsheet software cannot open. Alternatively, a .GIS file may be a legacy spatial data file from Landmark Graphics (now part of Halliburton) or Trimble software, or even a specialized embroidery archive used by Gunold systems.
Because of this ambiguity, users often face significant friction: specialized software is required just to determine which type of .GIS file you possess. Modern GIS suites like ArcGIS Pro or QGIS generally do not natively support these legacy or proprietary specific formats, leaving you unable to visualize your data. For drone pilots, the solution is converting the binary log into CSV for analysis or KML and GPX to visualize flight paths in Google Earth. For spatial data users, converting to open standards like Shapefile (.SHP) or GeoJSON ensures compatibility with modern mapping tools.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GIS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TIF, SHP, GEOJSON, KMZ, KML, DWG, DBF, PDF, MXD, ZIP, SHX, TIFF and THM files.
If you want to convert GIS file to KML, KMZ, DWG, PDF, GEOJSON, SHP, GPX, TOPOJSON, TIF, TIFF, ECW or SID, you can use DJI GO 4 or similar software from the "Drone Flight Telemetry Log" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert LAZ, KMZ, DTM, CSV, DEM, PRJ, LAS, GPX, DSM, SHP, DBF or KML files to GIS, try DJI GO 4 or another comparable tool in the "Drone Flight Telemetry Log" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our GIS converter.
