How to open VRG file?
The most common problem when using ViewRanger Map is that a specific VRG is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open VRG, 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 VRG 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
In this case, you should first verify that the ViewRanger application is installed on the computer. 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 VRG files.
Programs to open VRG file
Remember to download programs supporting VRG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ViewRanger with VRG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VRG file still does not use the ViewRanger program, it means no 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 VRG file with the ViewRanger application.
Step 3. Update ViewRanger to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ViewRanger program with the ViewRanger Map 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 Augmentra Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VRG 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 suggests truncating the VRG file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VRG file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VRG 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 VRG file. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VRG files. 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 VRG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the VRG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the VRG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VRG file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VRG file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
