What is MGLR file?

The MGLR file has been categorized as GIS Files. The creator of this file is GeoVisu Development Team. In addition to this file, the GIS Files category includes 255 related files. Magellan Routes is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use GeoVisu to handle this file. This is a program created by GeoVisu Development Team.

How to open MGLR file?

The most common problem when using Magellan Routes is that a specific MGLR is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MGLR 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 MGLR 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. This can be achieved by typing GeoVisu into the operating system search engine. 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 MGLR.

Programs to open MGLR file

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

Step 2. Create association of GeoVisu with MGLR files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MGLR file still does not use the GeoVisu program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MGLR file with the GeoVisu program.

Step 3. Update GeoVisu to the latest version

If, however, after binding GeoVisu with Magellan Routes there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the GeoVisu Development Team page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MGLR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 MGLR file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MGLR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MGLR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MGLR 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 MGLR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move MGLR to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MGLR to close. However, some background programs may block the MGLR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
