What is a kap file and how do I open a kap file?

KAP files are files that are used by nautical chart reading programs; which is why they are known as BSB Chart Image Files. KAP files contain cartographic information saved in a text format and they can also contain encoded raster images saved in the binary format. These files can also store a simple ASCII text file and since these files contain nautical charts, they are mainly used by GIS programs that are used by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other organizations that perform nautical chart reading tasks. KAP files can be opened by different applications and one of them is the Safe Software FME Desktop that runs on Windows. This application allows users to integrate, convert and transform data easily without hassle as they can eliminate the barriers to data sharing. The Chart Navigator Pro is also an application that uses KAP files. It is a GPS planning and navigation software that runs on Windows.
