File extension .UNL

File description

UNL file extension works as a helpful program to enable people to comfortably use Garmin navigational equipments. In order to make a UNL file extension with MapSource, users are required to get some technical knowledge about how to use the maps functions. It uses UNL files as backup so that users can conveniently retrieve them whenever in need. Details provided in the UNL files basically comprise of recent destinations, point of interest, waypoints etc.

The UNL file extensions work as source to unlock different desired maps. Retrieval of codes is also easy since it targets a file and unlocks codes to enable users get the data again. However, the point to mention here is that UNL file can unlock codes for only one GPS unit since it is not designed to work on many Garmin devices.

Description of the problem

If you have on your computer a .UNL file that you cannot open, you are in exactly the same situation as thousands of other people who have similar problems with this or any other unknown file.

There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .UNL extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .UNL file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.

Solution

From the list below, select the appropriate program, install it and double click on the icon of a file that did not want to open - the problem with the .UNL file extension should be solved. However, if this does not happen, go back to the website to learn about other possible causes of the error, which have been described at the bottom of the website.

Other possible reasons why your .UNL file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .UNL file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .UNL file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .UNL file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .UNL file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

Right-click the .UNL file
Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
Locate the appropriate application
Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
