What is a .GVSP file?
A .GVSP file is a type of file used by people who work with maps on computers. It is created with a program called Geocortex Viewer for Silverlight. This program is special because it makes the ArcGIS software, which is already powerful for making and viewing maps, even better for people who use maps on the internet.
When someone creates a project in Geocortex Viewer for Silverlight, they save their work in a .GVSP file. This file is like a container that holds everything about their map project. Inside this file, you can find a map that has different things marked on it, like lines showing roads or boundaries, areas that might represent different types of land or regions, points that could be places of interest, and text to label these features. Besides these, the .GVSP file also keeps track of how the different layers of the map should look (this is called layer symbolization) and the order in which these layers should be drawn or shown on the map.
If you have a .GVSP file and you want to open it to see the map or work on the project, you need to use the Geocortex Viewer for Silverlight program. This is the specific software designed to open and handle these types of files. It's like having a key to unlock and view the contents of your .GVSP file.

Our goal is to help people find the most up-to-date information about file extensions for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. We researched over 10,000 file extensions and their respective programs that open those files.
