Noni GPSPlot Track Format appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file.

How to open NGT file?
An often recurring problem with Noni GPSPlot Track Format is that NGT is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open NGT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NGT 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 Merkaartor
In this case, you should first verify that the Merkaartor application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Merkaartor into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file NGT.
Programs to open NGT file
Remember to download programs supporting NGT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Merkaartor with NGT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NGT file still does not use the Merkaartor program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NGT file with the Merkaartor program.
Step 3. Update Merkaartor to the latest version
If, however, after binding Merkaartor with Noni GPSPlot Track Format 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 Jean-Philippe Lang page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NGT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The NGT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NGT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NGT file. Sometimes virus-infected NGT 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 NGT 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NGT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Noni GPSPlot, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NGT 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the NGT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NGT file again. However, some background programs may block the NGT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
