How to open CWMS file?

An often recurring problem with CompeGPS Land Remote Map is that CWMS is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file CWMS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CWMS 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 CompeGPS Land

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CompeGPS Land is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CompeGPS Land into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CWMS files.

Step 2. Create association of CompeGPS Land with CWMS files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CWMS file to open in the CompeGPS Land application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CWMS file with the CompeGPS Land program.

Step 3. Update CompeGPS Land to the latest version

If, however, after binding CompeGPS Land with CompeGPS Land Remote Map there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the CompeGPS TEAM S.L. website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The CWMS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CWMS file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CWMS file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CWMS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CWMS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CWMS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting CompeGPS TEAM S.L., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CWMS except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CWMS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CWMS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CWMS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
