SHP file format (short for shape) is used for storing vector graphics and data related to geospatial information used by geographic information system (GIS) software. SHP file can hold geographical and spatial data that describes such entities as landmarks, rivers, streets, or postal zones.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the NCZ file after converting to SHP may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from NCZ to SHP to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting NCZ to SHP does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in NCZ format, properly converted to a SHP file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file NCZ the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of NCZ file to other than SHP. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your NCZ file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to SHP on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the NCZ file in its original format (without conversion to SHP file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
