- 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 JPG file is an image saved in a compressed image format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It is commonly used for storing digital photos and used by most digital cameras to save images. JPG files are among the most common image files along with .PNG, .TIF, and .GIF.
