How to open NMA file?
The main problem with GPSBabel GPS Log Data Format is that the NMA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that NMA 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 NMA 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 GPSBabel
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that GPSBabel is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name GPSBabel into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NMA with GPSBabel. Below you will find a list of applications that support NMA files.
Programs to open NMA file
Remember to download programs supporting NMA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GPSBabel with NMA files
If, despite the installed application, the NMA file does not start in the GPSBabel application, you must create a file 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 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 NMA file with the GPSBabel application.
Step 3. Update GPSBabel to the latest version
If, despite the association of the GPSBabel program with the GPSBabel GPS Log Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the GPSBabel.org page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NMA 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NMA file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NMA file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NMA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of NMA 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NMA files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , 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 NMA files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move NMA to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NMA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NMA to close. 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.
