What is a 108 file

108 files mostly belong to MapInfo. *.108 files are used by MapInfo to store geospatial data and workspace settings. They serve as a container that saves both map layers and project configuration.
These files are known in two ways: they can be viewed as a MapInfo map file or an MapInfo workspace file.
Consider these points:
  • Primary function: They hold geographic data and map layout details.
  • Configuration storage: They keep workspace settings for quick restoration of map views.
  • Software requirement: They must be opened with MapInfo Professional or other compatible GIS software.

  • Files with the extension 108 are often also jpg images or pdf documents, but zip compressed archives or medical images such as DICOM are also common. Use the Online 108 File Viewer on this page to find out the file format being used, and to view your 108 file.
