What is ASRP file?

The file in the ASRP format belongs to the GIS Files category. Additionally, the GIS Files category contains 255 of other files. Arc Standard Raster Product is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Global Mapper Professional. This was created by Eagle Globe Software Team.

How to open ASRP file?

The most common problem when using Arc Standard Raster Product is that a specific ASRP is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ASRP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ASRP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Global Mapper Professional

In this case, you should first verify that the Global Mapper Professional application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Global Mapper Professional in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support ASRP files.

Programs to open ASRP file

Remember to download programs supporting ASRP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Global Mapper Professional with ASRP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ASRP file to open in the Global Mapper Professional application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ASRP file with the Global Mapper Professional application.

Step 3. Update Global Mapper Professional to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Global Mapper Professional program with the Arc Standard Raster Product file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Eagle Globe Software Team page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ASRP file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The ASRP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ASRP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ASRP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ASRP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ASRP files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ASRP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ASRP files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move ASRP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ASRP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ASRP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ASRP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
