Extract text from GPS logs and animations (NMA)
To convert NMA files to another format, you need u-center or other GIS software.
To convert other file formats to the "GPS Navigation Data Log" file type, you need software like u-center or a similar tool.
The .NMA file extension primarily serves as a GPS navigation data log file formatted under the NMEA 0183 standard, frequently generated by MediaTek GPS chipsets. These files store continuous streams of raw satellite telemetry - often starting with identifiers like $GPGGA - detailing location, velocity, and timestamp data. Alternatively, .NMA is used as a 2D skeletal animation file by NIMA Studio (now Rive) or as a MetaSL 3D scene description for NVIDIA Mental Mill.
Working directly with .NMA files is incredibly frustrating for end users. The GPS logs are essentially massive blocks of comma-separated ASCII text that mainstream consumer mapping applications completely reject. You cannot upload an .NMA file to standard fitness trackers or web maps. The animation and 3D scene variants suffer from similar extreme software lock-in, requiring deprecated or highly specialized development environments just to view the contents.
To make this data usable, conversion is mandatory. For GPS tracking, you should convert .NMA to GPX for universal compatibility with fitness and mapping apps, or to KML to visualize 3D routes in Google Earth. If you need to analyze the raw telemetry, convert it to a CSV spreadsheet. For Nima animations, exporting the data to JSON or rendering it to a web-ready MP4 or WebP is the only practical way to share it. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing complex GIS software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your NMA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted NMEA, TTP, GED, PHO and NRA files.
If you want to convert NMA file to NRA, MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG, WMA, M4A, AIFF, OPUS, ALAC or APE, you can use u-center or similar software from the "Raw GPS Data Logging" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MIDI, AAC, TTA, AU, WV, DTS, MID, FLAC, RA, MP3, PCM or WAV files to NMA, try u-center or another comparable tool in the "Raw GPS Data Logging" 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 NMA converter.
