FAQ
KAP to WRL Conversion
What are KAP files?
KAP is the file extension of the BSB raster nautical chart format, created by BSB Electronic Charts and later developed by Maptech. A file of this type holds a scanned paper sea chart as a picture, together with the information needed to place it on the globe, which lets navigation software show the ship's position on the chart. The format became the usual way of distributing official raster charts in several countries, including those of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). A large chart is often split into several panels, one file per panel, and a small .bsb text file may tie them together. Chart plotters, open-source navigation programs, and mapping software can read these files, and they are also used in geographic information systems.
What are WRL files?
The WRL file format (commonly known as VRML, Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is a standard file format for representing 3D interactive vector graphics and textures, designed particularly for the early World Wide Web. Files using this format typically carry the .wrl extension.
