DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY TIPS RE DOWNLOADING DATA FROM SAT'NAVS OTHER THAN TOMTOM.
I HAVE TOMTOLOGY BUT NEED TO SEE WHETHER THERE'S A PRODUCT FOR GARMIN, NAVMAN ETC
I seem to remember reading somewhere that Garmen indicated there was no available sychronization software or software to interpret the data.
I believe some examining satnavs, image data with Encase etc and mentioned parsing data from the imaged file with GPSUtility and Easy GPS might help.
Garmin have yet to reply on this but am still hopeful, the encase stuff is coming my way later in year so will have a try with this then. thanks anyway
Paraben's Device Seizure acquires data from Garmin units. I just did two tonight to experiment.
It can even get "physical dumps" of some models (I couldn't get this to work on my Garmin models).
After Device Seizure acquires it, you can export it off to another of their products called Point2Point which plots it in Google Earth.
Very cool….
cfprof,
thanks I have been in touch and they are sending me a demo
Hi all,
I know this thread is old, but I have only just joined.
I am a final year Maths and Computing student at the University of Derby, and for my dissertation I have been created a software application that recovers forensic data from Garmin Satnav systems.
I am now looking into expanding this to include the Navman and TomTom makes also, and then will most likely set up my own company.
Am curious, is this still an area that there is a need for? What methods do people use currently to analyse Garmin Satnavs?
Regards,
Ben
I have used XRY from
It seams like they also support many models from Garmin and other GPS.
This is only a tip if your unit/business already own XRY as its cost a litte to get startet with.

Cellebrite UFED Logical and UFED Physical also support a large list of GPS devices including TomTom, Garmin and MIO devices.
UFED Physical extracts also deleted GPS data (GPS Fixes) from both Garmin and TomTom GPS devices.
Bigjon here is another link to add to this old and overdue 2009 thread.

Many devices such as Navman's store their data mainly in XML-based files so they are pretty easy to obtain data from; either perform a logical extraction or image to obtain the files.
Garmin's unfortunately require a live examination other than the favorites and track logs.
It all depends which manufacturer you are looking at as they all differ.
@trewmte I gave blackthorn2 a try, I was not too impressed with it. I know XRY parses out the Garmin file of interest quite nicely, saves a lot of time!
