TOPO! Explorer

Overview

This article provides step-by-step directions on how to open/import a .TPO file made from other TOPO! Products. TOPO! State Series, Weekend Explorer, Backroads Explorer, and earlier editions of the TOPO! Regional Series all used the .tpo file extension for saving custom maps. TOPO! Explorer can read these files and will automatically convert them into the new .TRP file format for sharing on the web.

Step-by-Step

1. Launch the TOPO! Explorer Application. (You can choose to login if connected to the internet - however it is not necessary).

2. Either choose "File/Open" from the Windows Menu at the top of the TOPO! Explorer application - or choose "File - New or Open" from the Import/Export Bucket on the left navigation-bar.

3. Select the open "A .TPO File" option.

4. Browse to and select the .TPO file you wish to open.

5. The file will open and its contents will appear in the Trip bucket on the left navigation-bar.

You can now edit any of the original contents, add new items to it, save as a Trip File, or Share to the web.
