File extension .BSB
| Full Name | Developer | Category |

| MapInfo Sea Chart Format | Pitney Bowes Software Inc. | Data Files |
The BSB file extension is associated with Navigational software developed by MapInfo Corporation. BSB files are charts representing topographical information for different bodies of water and coastlines. They are encoded using a combination of colors and symbols to represent different features such as depths, navigational aids and buoys. The chart data includes the latitude and longitude coordinates – the corner positions.
The BSB file format is specific to MapInfo Corporation's MapInfo Professional, a geographic information system (GIS) that blends powerful component mapping capabilities with advanced analytical measurements. Navigational vectors and scanning sonar data is used to create the charts, which can be zoomed and panned in real time with the software.

Other similar file extensions include gcp,.KAP,.ECW,.GOS,.FH11,.GWF, which are also associated with Navigational software.
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .BSB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .BSB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .BSB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .BSB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .BSB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .BSB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .BSB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .BSB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .BSB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .BSB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
