What is a TPQ file?

TPQ files mostly belong to Topo! Quebec. TPQ files come in two main types.
One type is a Topo! Quebec map file. This file stores map tiles designed for GPS devices. It organizes geographic data for use in GIS programs.
The other type is a translation project file that uses an SQL-based format (often through SQLite). This file holds translation texts and project data, and is associated with translation systems like those used by Memsource (Medtronic Translation Database).
If you need to view or edit the map file, use a GIS tool that supports Topo! Quebec formats. For the translation file, an SQL browser or translation management software is recommended.

How can I open a TPQ file?

You need a suitable software like Topo! Quebec to open a TPQ file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your TPQ file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a TPQ file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Topo! Quebec
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. TPQ files are often referred to as Topo! Quebec gis because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
TOPO!Pro (Map Image) by National Geographic Maps
TOPO! Pro for ArcGIS is a set of extensions that add functionality to ESRI's ArcGIS. The Multi-layer extension enables ESRI GIS users to import USGS topographic maps, hillshading, and digital elevation models (DEMs) into ArcMap projects. Image file sizes are minimized using a tiling scheme and integrated image cataloging. For example, a full color quad with hillshade is under 1 MB in size. The map images are stored in a proprietary file format called .TPQ. ArcGIS recognizes this file as a raster image format, similar to a .TIF or .JPG format. This file format is classified as Graphic.
