The file with the extension MGLW is the GIS Files file type. It was designed by GeoVisu Development Team. In addition to this file, the GIS Files category includes 255 related files.

How to open MGLW file?
The most common problem when using Magellan Waypoint is that a specific MGLW is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MGLW, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MGLW 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the GeoVisu program installed. 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MGLW files.
Programs to open MGLW file
Remember to download programs supporting MGLW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GeoVisu with MGLW files
If, despite the installed application, the MGLW file does not start in the GeoVisu application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MGLW file with the GeoVisu application.
Step 3. Update GeoVisu to the latest version
If, however, after binding GeoVisu with Magellan Waypoint 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 MGLW file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the MGLW file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MGLW file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MGLW file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MGLW file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MGLW 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 file MGLW except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. If possible, you can try to move the MGLW file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the MGLW file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
