What is a BVS file

BVS files mostly belong to AROS Route Planner.

This BVS file is an XML-based file for storing voyage plan data. It encodes planned routes, waypoints, and other navigational elements.
Use these details to understand the file format:

  • XML Structure: The file relies on an XML layout that supports data exchange and integration.
  • Voyage Plan: It holds route details such as courses and stops important for navigation.
  • Software Use: Managed by tools like AROS Route Planner and Voyage Planning Station (VPS) from Admiralty Voyage Planner.
  • Reference: Additional info is available at Qastor.

FilExt.com tip: Inspect the XML content with a text editor or dedicated planning software. Validate changes against the expected XML structure to avoid route errors.

How to open a BVS file

You need a suitable software like AROS Route Planner to open a BVS 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 BVS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a BVS file directly in the browser:.
