Extract text from NMA files
To convert your NMA file to another format, you need GPSBabel or other GIS software.
To convert other file formats to the "GPS Data Log" file type, you need software like GPSBabel or a similar tool.
The .nma extension is shared by two distinct file types, creating frequent confusion.
Most commonly, an .nma file is a raw GPS navigation log utilizing the NMEA 0183 standard. These logs are often generated by hardware using MediaTek GPS chipsets (MTK) or dedicated trackers. The file contains ASCII text "sentences" (starting with $GPGGA or $GPRMC) that record latitude, longitude, and timestamps. While human-readable, these raw logs are not directly compatible with Google Earth or modern mapping apps. To view your track, you must convert the .nma data to GPX (universal exchange), KML (Google Earth), or CSV (for analysis in Microsoft Excel).
Alternatively, an .nma file may be a legacy 2D skeletal animation created by 2Dimensions Nima. This software was rebranded as Rive, and modern versions use the riv format. Old .nma animation files contain JSON-based vector data for app and game development. These cannot be opened by standard image viewers and require the original Nima runtimes or migration to the newer Rive ecosystem.
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 GPSBabel or similar software from the "GPS Navigation Log" 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 GPSBabel or another comparable tool in the "GPS Navigation 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 NMA converter.
