The Gimp certainly can't do it - it only works up to 12 bit images iirc
I am surprised your satnav even supports that bit depth...

I would look at the ImageMagic manpages very carefully as you are
right that searching for 32 wont get you far.
I have only ever use professional photo tools to work with 32 bit
images (and even 16 bit is more than I can reasonably print)
