How to open GVG file?
An often recurring problem with Kompass Map is that GVG is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that GVG 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 GVG 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 KOMPASS Karten Digital Maps
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that KOMPASS Karten Digital Maps is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name KOMPASS Karten Digital Maps into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GVG with KOMPASS Karten Digital Maps.

Programs to open GVG file
Remember to download programs supporting GVG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of KOMPASS Karten Digital Maps with GVG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GVG file to open in the KOMPASS Karten Digital Maps application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the KOMPASS Karten Digital Maps application as the default for handling the GVG file.
Step 3. Update KOMPASS Karten Digital Maps to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the KOMPASS Karten Digital Maps program, it is possible that Kompass Map requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Kompass website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GVG 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the GVG file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GVG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected GVG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GVG 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GVG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Kompass
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GVG 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the GVG file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the GVG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GVG to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GVG file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
