About FPA files
The .FPA file extension is primarily associated with iGO Navigation software developed by NNG. These files function as Point Addressing or Proximity Alert databases, specifically containing coordinate data for speed cameras, red light cameras, and school zones. While crucial for driver safety, the format is proprietary and binary, meaning you cannot simply open it in a text editor to verify the data or merge it with other lists.
Users often deal with issues when trying to update their GPS units; simply dragging a new .FPA file into the content/speedcam folder may not work if the device license does not support that specific module. Furthermore, because the file is opaque, users cannot easily inspect it to remove false positives or add new hazard points.
Best Conversion Targets:
For Customization: Convert to standard TXT (often called the "SPUD" or "EUR+" format) to edit coordinates in a spreadsheet or text editor.
For Visualization: Convert to KML or KMZ to view the alert locations on Google Earth or verify them against Google Maps.
For Archiving/Exchange: Convert to CSV for universal database compatibility.
*Note: Less frequently, this extension refers to a Finale Performance Assessment file by MakeMusic, used to grade musical performances, or an encrypted order file for Front Panel Express enclosures.*

The FPA Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our FPA converter.
