What is GVW file?
The file with the extension GVW is the GIS Files file type. It was designed by GeoVisu Development Team. Additionally, the GIS Files category contains 255 of other files. GeoVisu Waypoints is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The GeoVisu application is recommended to open the file. It was released by GeoVisu Development Team.
How to open GVW file?
The main problem with GeoVisu Waypoints is that the GVW file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that GVW 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 GVW 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 GeoVisu
In this case, you should first verify that the GeoVisu application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name GeoVisu in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file GVW.
Programs to open GVW file
Remember to download programs supporting GVW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GeoVisu with GVW files
If, despite the installed application, the GVW file does not start in the GeoVisu application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GeoVisu application as the default for handling the GVW file.
Step 3. Update GeoVisu to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GeoVisu program, it is possible that GeoVisu Waypoints requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the GeoVisu Development Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GVW file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the GVW file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GVW file. However, remember that not every infected GVW file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of GVW 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GVW file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact GeoVisu Development Team
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GVW 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the GVW file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GVW 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 GVW to close. However, some background programs may block the GVW file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
