Google Earth to Nokia Maps (.kml to .lmx)

- Start off in Google Earth. Select your location and save it. Be sure to save as .kml and not .kmz.
- Next, go to this website: http://poiconvert.free.fr/
- For the source format, select .kml
- Next upload your file.
- Finally, select your output format. You can choose formats for TomTom (.ov2), Garmin (.asc) and Nokia Maps (.lmx). I can’t test TomTom or Garmin, so I’ll talk about Nokia Maps.
- Send the .lmx file to your phone. I sent the file with bluetooth for ease of use. You can also plug in the USB cable and then transfer the file, then open it with a file explorer. You can also email the file to yourself as an attached file.
- Open the .lmx file and Nokia Maps will start up and find the location.

You're done. Check out more tips here.
