Ok, I'll do so asap.  That is tonight probably :)

It's an importer for Polish Map Files, the format used by Garmin GPS
receivers.  I don't think it's a standard of any kind, but I've found
a couple of sites that collect community created PFM files with a
redistributable license (noticeably http://mapcenter2.cgpsmapper.com/
), and I haven't found a pfm-to-anything-decent converter for Linux.
There's mpripper http://code.google.com/p/mpripper/ that should work
at some point but currently doesn't work at all for me.  There's also
quite a complete description of the format here
http://www.cgpsmapper.com/download/cGPSmapper-UsrMan-v02.4.pdf

I've attached a screenshot that looks good, but it's still missing a
bit of work.

Cheers,
