Map Data Workflow

Bring files into a GIS

reaConverter takes NSR files to SHP a folder at a time, on your own PC, ready to be added to a GIS project and georeferenced there.

  • Convert a whole folder to SHP in one pass
  • Apply the same settings to every file in the batch
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

FAQ

NSR to SHP Conversion

What are NSR files?

This brand was particularly popular in the 1980, being one of the first types of computers to address nontechnical home users. Similar extensions include PH and BN. In case you found such a file, it is probably very old and it might not be possible to open it using regular image viewers.

SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers.
