Extract text from PLC project files (GPS)
To convert GPS project files to another format, you need Mitsubishi GX Developer or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Multipurpose Project & Log File" file type, you need software like Mitsubishi GX Developer or a similar tool.
The .gps file extension is highly fragmented and serves multiple distinct purposes across different industries. Most commonly, it acts as a PLC programming project file for Mitsubishi GX Developer, a simulation source file for General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS), or a raw track data log utilizing the NMEA 0183 standard. Less frequently, it appears as legacy Broderbund The Print Shop graphic files or GenePix settings files.
Because of this fragmentation, opening a .gps file is notoriously frustrating. If you do not know the source system, double-clicking it usually results in an OS error. Proprietary PLC projects are locked into an expensive industrial software ecosystem and are useless without a specialized license. Meanwhile, raw NMEA track logs are unformatted text strings that modern web browsers and standard mapping applications cannot natively parse without conversion.
You must convert these files to make them practical for everyday use. For navigation and GIS tracking, converting .gps track data to GPX (GPS Exchange Format) or KML is mandatory for compatibility with tools like Google Earth Pro. For archiving PLC logic or simulation scripts, converting to TXT or .PDF/A ensures the text remains readable without paying for enterprise software subscriptions.

Convert.Guru analyzes your GPS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted GPX, KML, KMZ, GPJ, CSV, JPG, GSP, PDF, JPEG, TXT, UTM, UTC and DMS files.
If you want to convert GPS file to UTM, GPX, KML, UTC, DMS, SHP, KMZ, GEOJSON, TOPOJSON, TIF, TIFF or ECW, you can use Mitsubishi GX Developer or similar software from the "Project & Track Data Storage" 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 GPS, try Mitsubishi GX Developer or another comparable tool in the "Project & Track Data Storage" 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 GPS converter.
