The .NAV file extension is related to the Id Tech 3 game platform, and is the primary file type used for bot navigation. This file format is a non-text binary format, which records a variety of paths for a game's AI to take while performing its programmed tasks within the particular world that the game exists in. In order to create such files, one can use the specific Map creation Tool provided by Id Tech 3.
The .NAV file type contains important data for keeping and managing game processes running smoothly. It performs an important role in allowing the program's AI to effectively move through its environment as it progresses. This makes it easier for games created with Id Tech 3 to implement source code level navigation which enables bots to intelligently traverse through large gameworlds. The file also stores waypoints for various characters as well as their hop-off destinations.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .NAV) 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 .NAV 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 .NAV 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 .NAV 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 .NAV extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .NAV file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .NAV 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 .NAV file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .NAV file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .NAV file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
