- 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.
- Windows vector graphics format recognized by many image-editing applications; basically a 32-bit version of the original Windows Metafile Format (.WMF), which only supports 16-bit data; saves image data in an RGB format and does not support CMYK data.
