Troubleshooting Problems Opening GEOJSON Files

Frequent GEOJSON Opening Issues

Notepad++ Not Present

When trying to open your GEOJSON file, you get the error "Can't Open GEOJSON File Type". Customarily, this means that Notepad++ is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your GEOJSON file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

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

Notepad++ is Out-of-Date

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Notepad++ installed that's incompatible with your GeoJSON File type. You will need to download a newer version of Notepad++ if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your GeoJSON File file was created by a different (newer) version of Notepad++ than what's installed.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your GEOJSON file and clicking "Properties".

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening GEOJSON files are due to having the wrong version of Notepad++ installed.

More Causes of Problems Opening GEOJSONs

You can still experience errors opening GEOJSON files even with the latest version of Notepad++ installed on your PC. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening GEOJSON files. Other contributing causes:
