How to open UPOI file?
The main problem with IGO Points Of Interest Format is that the UPOI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that UPOI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UPOI 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 Naviextras Toolbox
The first step is to check if the computer has the Naviextras Toolbox program installed. This can be achieved by typing Naviextras Toolbox 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 UPOI.
Programs to open UPOI file
Remember to download programs supporting UPOI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Naviextras Toolbox with UPOI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UPOI file still does not use the Naviextras Toolbox 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Naviextras Toolbox application as the default for handling the UPOI file.
Step 3. Update Naviextras Toolbox to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Naviextras Toolbox program with the IGO Points Of Interest 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 NNG Kft page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UPOI file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the UPOI 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. 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 UPOI file. Sometimes virus-infected UPOI 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 UPOI files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair UPOI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Nav N Go
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UPOI 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. Copying the UPOI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the UPOI file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
