How to open VRC file?
The main problem with ViewRanger Map is that the VRC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open VRC, 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 VRC 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 ViewRanger
The first step is to check if the computer has the ViewRanger program installed. To do this, enter the name ViewRanger into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support VRC files.
Programs to open VRC file
Remember to download programs supporting VRC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ViewRanger with VRC files
If, despite the installed application, the VRC file does not start in the ViewRanger application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VRC file with the ViewRanger application.
Step 3. Update ViewRanger to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ViewRanger program, it is possible that ViewRanger Map requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Augmentra Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VRC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the VRC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VRC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VRC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VRC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VRC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Augmentra Ltd. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VRC files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the VRC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the VRC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
