The .SAF file extension is associated with the Street Atlas USA (SAUSA), digital mapping software developed by DeLorme Publishing Incorporated. It enables users to print paper maps and create different types of electronic map files for a customized viewing experience. The software is used by a wide range of professionals such as surveyors and other professionals who need to view detailed geographic data on their computers.
Overview of the.SAF File Extension
The.SAF file type is a highly versatile and detailed map format used in the SAUSA software. It contains a plethora of geographic information, such as aerial photography, streets, highways, landmarks, and other points of interest. This format also has the capability to display three-dimensional relief data, allowing users to get a simulated overview of buildings or terrain. In addition,.SAF files are capable of being layered over each other, allowing users to view various levels of information at once in the same map. The extent information stored in the.SAF file includes GPS data which can be used for navigational purposes.
Similar File Extensions
Similar file extensions that may be associated with SAUSA include: .MIF, .SHP, .GEN, and .GPS.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SAF) 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 .SAF 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 .SAF 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 .SAF 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 .SAF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SAF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SAF 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 .SAF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SAF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SAF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
