How to open QU2 file?
An often recurring problem with GPS2WorldWind Database is that QU2 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open QU2, 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 QU2 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 GPS2WorldWind
In this case, you should first verify that the GPS2WorldWind application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing GPS2WorldWind into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open QU2 file
Remember to download programs supporting QU2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GPS2WorldWind with QU2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the QU2 file to open in the GPS2WorldWind application, but you can set it manually. 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the QU2 file with the GPS2WorldWind program.
Step 3. Update GPS2WorldWind to the latest version
If, despite the association of the GPS2WorldWind program with the GPS2WorldWind Database file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Stephan Kaufmann website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QU2 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the QU2 file. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our QU2 file. Sometimes virus-infected QU2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the QU2 file. 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 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 QU2 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Stephan Kaufmann
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QU2 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 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 QU2 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the QU2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the QU2 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
