- Description
- The KAP file format, associated with the BSB/KAP format, is primarily used for nautical charts and maps. Developed by Maptech, it is a raster navigation chart format that contains geo-referenced map data, which allows for accurate plotting and navigation in marine applications. The file typically stores chart images along with header information that includes details about the chart, such as scale, projection, and geographic boundaries. KAP files are widely supported by various marine navigation software and GPS devices, making them essential for sailors and mariners for planning and executing their voyages.
- A DJVU file is a compressed image format developed by AT&T and marketed by LizardTech. It is designed to allow content developers to scan high-resolution color pages of books, magazines, comics, catalogs, etc. and publish them on the web.
