How to open RTMAP file?

The main problem with CompeGPS Land Raster Map is that the RTMAP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open RTMAP, 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 RTMAP 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 CompeGPS Land

The first step is to check if the computer has the CompeGPS Land program installed. To do this, enter the name CompeGPS Land 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 RTMAP with CompeGPS Land. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RTMAP files.

Programs to open RTMAP file

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

Step 2. Create association of CompeGPS Land with RTMAP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RTMAP file still does not use the CompeGPS Land program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RTMAP file with the CompeGPS Land program.

Step 3. Update CompeGPS Land to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the CompeGPS Land program, it is possible that CompeGPS Land Raster Map requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the CompeGPS TEAM S.L. website and install the latest version.

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

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

The RTMAP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RTMAP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RTMAP file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RTMAP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RTMAP 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RTMAP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact CompeGPS TEAM S.L.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RTMAP 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the RTMAP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the RTMAP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RTMAP 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.
