The Universal Navigation Language (UNL) is a standardized language developed specifically for GPS devices. UNL files in this format are typically used to store data and maps. When a GPS device receives location data, this information is usually saved in a file with an UNL extension. The data can then be used by GPS navigation software for generating maps and helping users with directions. Garmin is one of the most popular GPS device manufacturers that use UNL files. More information about Garmin and its UNL files can be found at www.garmin.com.

Unreal Engine HTML Package

Files with UNL extensions can also be part of HTML packages created by the popular game development platform, Unreal Engine. In this case, the UNL file is sourced from content within the HTML package, working together with other files to create a playable game in a web browser. Further information about Unreal Engine and its capabilities can be found at www.unrealengine.com.
