ArcGIS Desktop is an application for software package mapping and visualization, useful for the increase and improvement of understanding and decision-making, automation of various cartography aspects, simplifying data design, as well as the creation and sharing of information. The LPK files created using this software contain not only the map layer but also the data of that map layer. This map layer data contained in LPK files can be imported into another map. LPK files are used to share self-contained map layers to others. LPK files can be uploaded and shared over the net using the ArcGIS Online service. Both ArcMap and ArcGlobe use LPK files wherein these programs are both parts of the ArcGIS Desktop software. The ESRI ArcGIS Desktop is used to open LPK files categorized as GIS files.how to open a .lpk file?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .lpk. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it.

When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.leave a comment
