The .MPS file extension is a Pocket Streets Map File developed by Microsoft. It is used to store route data from the Microsoft MapPoint program and helps users to plot routes on road maps with data for multiple trips or multiple stops. This extension is commonly used for retail stores, delivery services, and sales operations that aid in navigating multiple routes at the same time.
Technical Details
The .MPS map files use vector-based mapping format to store location information for streets, buildings, landmarks, and points of interest in a Geographic Information System (GIS) data set. It uses XML and binary data format which also enables users to employ rich Geographic Information System functionality to map results. The file can store detailed directions for various destinations along with a route overview which can be accessed from any device with an Internet connection.
Similar File Extensions
Some similar file extensions are .MPP, .MPA, .MPG, .MPW, .PST and .GDB.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MPS) 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 .MPS 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 .MPS 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 .MPS 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 .MPS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MPS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MPS 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 .MPS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MPS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MPS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
