How to open GMI file?

The most common problem when using GPS Tuner Map Calibration Data is that a specific GMI is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that GMI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GMI 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 MAPC2MAPC

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MAPC2MAPC is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name MAPC2MAPC into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file GMI.

Programs to open GMI file

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

Step 2. Create association of MAPC2MAPC with GMI files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GMI file still does not use the MAPC2MAPC program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GMI file with the MAPC2MAPC application.

Step 3. Update MAPC2MAPC to the latest version

If, however, after binding MAPC2MAPC with GPS Tuner Map Calibration Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the MAPC2MAPC team website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GMI file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GMI file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected GMI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of GMI 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GMI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Megalith-Systems help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GMI 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the GMI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GMI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GMI to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GMI file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
