What is OLG file?

The OLG file has been categorized as Misc Files. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Orbit Legend Data Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use ORBIT GIS to handle this file. This is a program created by Orbit GeoSpatial Technologies.

How to open OLG file?

The most common problem when using Orbit Legend Data Format is that a specific OLG is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open OLG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OLG 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 ORBIT GIS

In this case, you should first verify that the ORBIT GIS application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ORBIT GIS 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 OLG with ORBIT GIS. Below is a list of programs that support the file OLG.

Programs to open OLG file

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

Step 2. Create association of ORBIT GIS with OLG files

If, despite the installed application, the OLG file does not start in the ORBIT GIS application, you must create a file association. 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ORBIT GIS application as the default for handling the OLG file.

Step 3. Update ORBIT GIS to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ORBIT GIS program with the Orbit Legend Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Orbit GeoSpatial Technologies website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the OLG file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OLG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected OLG 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 OLG files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 OLG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file OLG 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 OLG file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the OLG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OLG file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
