About MPZ files

An .MPZ file is primarily a mobile map package used to store offline map data, routes, and waypoints. It is most commonly associated with MapPlus, a mobile GIS application developed by MioCool. Alternatively, it functions as a 2D CAD project file created by CADIX M-Draf software. The extension is also occasionally utilized by Miradi for project files and by the open-source game Red Eclipse for map environments. Users frequently need to convert .MPZ files because they are heavily tied to niche, proprietary ecosystems. MapPlus files are difficult to manage on desktop operating systems without dedicated iOS hardware. CADIX M-Draf files rely on the legacy Microsoft Compound container structure, meaning they require specific, expensive CAD software to open. Sharing these files with clients or colleagues who lack the exact software is highly restrictive and often impossible. If you are dealing with CAD files, the best conversion targets are standard DXF or PDF files to retain vector graphics. For MapPlus files, the ideal approach is extracting the internal files into standard formats like KML or GEOJSON. However, this file format is difficult to open or convert directly. Standard online converters fail because the format is proprietary and undocumented. Often only the original software can properly read or export the data. Just drag and drop your file to see what it is and convert it if supported. convert.guru can identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - such as standard ZIP compression - viewing or conversion may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your MPZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted GMP, DT2 and GIC files.

The MPZ 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 MPZ converter.
