GPS File Formats - Please Help

I am probably in the wrong forum to ask this - but very happy for any suggestions.

does anyone know what file formats GPS receivers use to store maps. Are they something like .loc, .shp or .png or are they usually proprietary to a manufacturer or vendor.

Again, thanks if you can help

I know that Garmin and Magellan use proprietary format, not sure about other brands.
