Understanding AQM Issues

Typical AQM Opening Challenges

Mobile Atlas Creator Removed

Double-clicking your AQM file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open AQM File". If so, it typically means that you don't have Mobile Atlas Creator installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your AQM with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: Another AQM-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Outdated Mobile Atlas Creator

Sometimes your installed version of Mobile Atlas Creator won't support your AlpineQuest Map File file. Installing the latest version of Mobile Atlas Creator from Open Source is recommended. This problem is predominately due to having a AlpineQuest Map File file version that was created by a newer version of Mobile Atlas Creator than what you have installed on your PC.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of AQM file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Regardless, most of the AQM file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Mobile Atlas Creator installed.
