- The extension (format) is the characters at the end of the file after the last dot.
- The computer determines the file type precisely by extension.
- By Windows default does not show filename extensions.
- Some characters cannot be used in the file name and extension.
- Not all formats are related to the same program.
- Below are all the programs with which you can open the GEO file.

XnView - Pretty powerful program, which combines many functions for working with images. It can be a simple viewing of files, and their conversion, and minor processing. It is cross-platform, which allows it to be used in almost any system. The program is also unique in that it supports about 400 various formats images, among which there are both the most used and popular, and non-standard formats. XnView can batch convert images. True, they can only be converted into 50 formats, but among these 50 formats there are all popular extensions.

XnConvert is a useful utility for converting and pre-processing photos and images. Works with 400+ formats. Supports all popular graphic formats. With simple XnConvert tools, you can adjust brightness, gamma, and contrast. In the application, you can resize photos, apply filters and a number of popular effects. The user can add watermarks and retouch. Using the application, you can remove meta-data, crop files and rotate them. XnConvert maintains a log in which the user will see all detailed information about his recent image manipulations.

File format Sypex Geo designed according to the following rules.

Minimize the number of file operations

Hard drives in modern computers are the slowest device (the mass transition to more powerful SSDs is still far away). And their bottleneck is the random reading of small amounts of information (several kilobytes). At the same time, most typical websites are made up primarily of many small files. Therefore, when creating Sypex Geo, the task was to minimize the number of file operations.

Block reading is better than byte reading

Reading files from hard drive produced in blocks (usually 4 KB), i.e. even if you need to read one byte, the entire block is still read from the disk. Therefore, the file format was designed so that instead of 4-8 reads of 6 bytes from different parts file, one block of several KB was read.

Less data - more speed

The file contains a special index of the first bytes (octets) that achieves the following benefits.

  1. Only 3 bytes instead of 4 to store the IP range (yes, it seems a bit, but this way we remove 25% of useless data, with 2 million ranges, the savings are already about 2 MB).
  2. The sample range in the main index is greatly reduced.
  3. The speed increases when searching for the desired IP in the database, since you need to compare one byte less (especially since this byte will be the same).

For example, you need to find IP 24.89.68.43, the following list of ranges will be selected from the database:

24.54.192.0
24.56.0.0
24.57.0.0
24.58.0.0
24.64.0.0
24.72.144.0
24.76.0.0
24.88.0.0
24.89.64.0
24.89.128.0
24.89.192.0
24.90.0.0
...
As you can see, all ranges have the same first byte (on average, there are 7-9 thousand ranges for each first byte). There will be several hundred such IPs in the sample. Therefore check the first byte in this case Waste time, it is the same for everyone.

Less data transformations

When searching for the desired IP, there is no conversion from a binary string to an integer (as is done with all competitors, and often with these numbers, then some arithmetic operations are being made).

AT Sypex Geo everything is simplified as much as possible, just comparing two 3-byte strings, in the same form in which they are read from the file - no conversions.

Simple Data Storage Structures

Storage of directories of cities and regions in the simplest form, numbers are stored in binary form, strings with null characters at the end. This achieves maximum performance in data retrieval, as well as compact data storage. No JSON or XML, which takes a lot of time to parse.

openness

The format was originally created with the expectation of openness and the ability for users to independently create database files in the Sypex Geo format. Accordingly, both the specifications of the format itself and the tools for creating database files will be published. They will be published after leaving the beta stage and fixing the format specifications, otherwise minor changes are possible.

Versatility

It also provides the ability to store any user data in the database, and not just standard information about countries and cities.

What is this file - GEO?

The GEO extension was developed to render 3D web graphics. The GEO file stores vector image in VRML format of the given area topography. GEO is used to recreate the virtual scene and objects located on the scene.

How to open GEO files

If a situation has arisen in which you cannot open a GEO file on your computer, there may be several reasons. The first and at the same time the most important (the most common) is the lack of a suitable application that supports GEO among those that are installed on your computer.

by the most in a simple way The solution to this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been completed - you will find programs for servicing the GEO file below. Now it is enough to download and install the appropriate application.

Further down this page you will find more possible reasons causing problems with GEO files.

Possible problems with the GEO format files

The inability to open and work with the GEO file should not mean at all that we do not have the appropriate software installed on our computer. There may be other issues that also block our ability to operate the VRML Geography Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.

  • Corruption of a GEO file which is being opened
  • Incorrect links to the GEO file in registry entries.
  • Accidentally deleting the description of the GEO extension from Windows Registry
  • Incomplete installation of an application that supports the GEO format
  • The GEO file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
  • There is not enough space on the computer to open the GEO file.
  • Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a GEO file are out of date.

If you are sure that all of the above reasons are absent in your case (or have already been ruled out), the GEO file should work with your programs without any problems. If the problem with the GEO file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is another rare problem with the GEO file. In this case, only the help of a specialist remains.

How to link a file to installed program?

If you want to link a file to new program(eg moj-plik.GEO) You have two options. The first and easiest is pressing right click mouse over the selected GEO file. From the open menu select an option Select default program", then the option "Revisit" and find the required program. The entire operation must be approved by pressing the OK button.

Whether there is a universal method opening unknown files?

Many files contain data in the form of text or numbers. It is possible that while opening unknown files (ex. GEO) popular in the system Windows simple text editor, which is Notatnik will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to view the contents of many files, but not in the same form as the program designed to serve them.

If your computer has antivirus program can scan all files on the computer, as well as each file individually. You can scan any file by right-clicking on the file and selecting the appropriate option to scan the file for viruses.

For example, in this figure, file my-file.geo, then you need to right-click on this file, and in the file menu select the option "scan from help from AVGยป . Selecting this option will open AVG Antivirus which will check given file for the presence of viruses.


Sometimes an error can result from incorrect software installation, which may be due to a problem that occurred during the installation process. It may interfere with your operating system associate your GEO file with the correct application software tool , influencing the so-called "file extension associations".

Sometimes simple reinstalling TurboCAD can solve your problem by correctly linking GEO to TurboCAD. In other cases, file association problems may result from bad software programming developer, and you may need to contact the developer for additional help.


Advice: Try updating TurboCAD to latest version to make sure the latest patches and updates are installed.


This may seem too obvious, but often the GEO file itself may be causing the problem. If you received a file via an email attachment or downloaded it from a website and the download process was interrupted (for example, by a power outage or other reason), the file may be corrupted. If possible, try getting a fresh copy of the GEO file and try opening it again.


Carefully: A corrupted file may cause collateral damage to a previous or existing malware on your PC, so it is very important that you have an up-to-date antivirus running on your computer at all times.


If your GEO file associated with the hardware on your computer to open the file you may need update device drivers associated with this equipment.

This problem usually associated with media file types, which depend on the successful opening of the hardware inside the computer, for example, sound card or video cards. For example, if you are trying to open an audio file but cannot open it, you may need to update sound card drivers.


Advice: If when you try to open a GEO file you get .SYS file related error message, the problem could probably be associated with corrupted or outdated device drivers that need to be updated. This process can be facilitated by using driver update software such as DriverDoc.


If the steps didn't solve the problem and you are still having problems opening GEO files, this may be due to lack of available system resources. Some GEO file versions may require a significant amount of resources (e.g. memory/RAM, computing power) to open properly on your computer. This problem occurs quite often if you are using a fairly old computer. Hardware and at the same time a much newer operating system.

This problem can occur when the computer is having a hard time completing a task because operating system(and other services running in the background) can consume too many resources to open GEO file. Try closing all applications on your PC before opening VRML Geography File. By freeing up all available resources on your computer, you will ensure the best conditions for trying to open the GEO file.


If you completed all the above steps and your GEO file still won't open, you may need to run hardware upgrade. In most cases, even with older hardware versions, the processing power can still be more than enough for most user applications (unless you're doing a lot of CPU-intensive work like 3D rendering, financial/science modeling, or intense media work) . In this way, it is likely that your computer does not have enough memory(more commonly referred to as "RAM", or RAM) to perform the file open task.
