			A Vertical Mapper grid consists of two files: a MapInfo Table file (.tab) and a .grd (numeric grid) or .grc (classified grid). Most of the grids that are used (such as Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are numeric grids. These gird files are binary and are only edited within the Vertical Mapper interface.
	A number of files with the same name but different extensions make up a MapInfo table. A brief description of the MapInfo file formats, in particular the MapInfo Interchange (.MIF and .MID) are provided here: [[MapInfo_File_Formats \| MapInfo File Formats]].<br>
