How to open M7A file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the M7A 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 MapKing for PC
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MapKing for PC is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing MapKing for PC into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file M7A with MapKing for PC.

Programs to open M7A file
Remember to download programs supporting M7A files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MapKing for PC with M7A files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the M7A file to open in the MapKing for PC application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the M7A file with the MapKing for PC application.
Step 3. Update MapKing for PC to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MapKing for PC program, it is possible that MapKing Map requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the MapKing International Limited page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the M7A file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the M7A file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our M7A file. However, remember that not every infected M7A file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the M7A 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged M7A files. You can restore the file from a backup or use MapKing International Limited help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted M7A 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 M7A file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the M7A file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
