How to open EBMD file?

The most common problem when using MicroMap Map Data Format is that a specific EBMD is not associated with the program. This causes the file EBMD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EBMD 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 MicroMap

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MicroMap is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name MicroMap into the system search engine.

Programs to open EBMD file

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

Step 2. Create association of MicroMap with EBMD files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EBMD file still does not use the MicroMap program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EBMD file with the MicroMap program.

Step 3. Update MicroMap to the latest version

If, despite the association of the MicroMap program with the MicroMap Map Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the CloudMade website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the EBMD 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file EBMD or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EBMD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of EBMD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EBMD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file EBMD 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move EBMD to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EBMD file again. However, some background programs may block the EBMD file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
