What is a TPX file?
A TPX file is a project used by DeLorme Topo North America, a discontinued mapping software application. It contains various geographic data elements, such as aerial imagery, waypoints, and points of interest. Users typically work with TPX files to create and analyze custom maps for outdoor activities such as hiking or traveling.
More Information
TPX files store the information needed to reconstruct a map, allowing users to export or share their project with others. While exploring and editing map projects, users can save their work in the TPX format or package it into a .DMT file for easy sharing and distribution among other Topo North America users.
How to open a TPX file
You can open TPX files with DeLorme Topo North America on Windows. However, the software is discontinued.

Turbo Pascal 7 Unit

A TPX file may also be a compiled unit file used by Borland Turbo Pascal (version 7 and later), a discontinued Pascal programming language compiler. It contains compiled code generated from a Pascal source code (.PAS) file and stores a Pascal unit in a form that Turbo Pascal can use when compiling programs. TPX files are similar to the more common .TPU files used by earlier versions of Turbo Pascal.
More Information
Turbo Pascal uses compiled units to divide programs into separate, reusable sections. Developers can create a unit in a Pascal source file, compile it separately, and then reference the resulting compiled unit from other programs or units. This allows Turbo Pascal to reuse previously compiled code instead of recompiling every unit each time a program is built, which can reduce compilation time.
NOTE: Borland introduced the TPX unit format with Turbo Pascal 7.
How to open a TPX file
You can open TPX files with Borland Turbo Pascal 7 or later. The files are compiled units rather than source-code documents, so you normally do not open them to view or edit their contents. Instead, Turbo Pascal references them when a program or another unit includes the corresponding unit in its uses clause. To view or modify the underlying code, you need the associated Pascal (PAS) source file.
