Can't open a MAP file?

If operating system recognizes the filename extension, it opens the file in the program that is associated with that filename extension.

”Can't open this file: example.MAP”。

  • In the "Open With" dialog box, click the program whith which you want the file to open, or click "Browse" to locate the program that you want.

Can I change the extension of MAP files?

Changing the filename extension of a file is not a good idea. When you change a file's extension, you change the way programs on your computer read/open the file. The problem is, changing the file extension does not change the file format. Select a software program from our list and install it on your computer. If the file has not opened correctly, you have to look for a different software program from our list. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.


What else may cause problems width open a MAP file?

The reasons for the lack of the ability to open a MAP file on your computer may be at least several. The easiest thing is to find a suitable application installed on your computer, which will open a MAP file. If there is still something wrong, you might want to check:

  • Whether the MAP file is damaged.
  • Whether the MAP file is incorrectly linked in the registry entries.
  • Whether the MAP file extension has been accidentally removed from the Windows registry.
  • Whether the installation of an application that supports the MAP file format is incompletely.
  • Whether the MAP file is infected.
  • Whether the drivers of the equipment used for opening a MAP file are up to date.
  • Whether your computer has enough hardware resources to open a MAP file.

If the MAP file still not working with your software after eliminating the above shortcomings? That means that the problem is more complex and requires the help of a specialist.
