How to open VRH file?
An often recurring problem with ViewRanger Map is that VRH is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file VRH to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VRH 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ViewRanger in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VRH files.
Programs to open VRH file
Remember to download programs supporting VRH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ViewRanger with VRH files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VRH file still does not use the ViewRanger program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 VRH 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The fault may also lie with the ViewRanger program, it is possible that ViewRanger Map requires a newer version of the program.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 VRH file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VRH file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VRH file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected VRH files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of VRH file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VRH file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Augmentra Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file VRH except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the VRH file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the VRH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VRH file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VRH file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
