The cartography for AvMap aeronautical products includes information from several sources and data providers: NAVTEQ, Jeppesen, Seattle Avionics. For more info visit the Aeronautical Maps page

At this link a guide for Jeppesen database AND software installing > LINK

It is possible to update each set of data separately: the Aero Database (including Jeppesen data and the Avioportolano) or the Street Maps can be downloaded directly from the Shop online.

I connected the Geosat to the PC and launched Geosat Suite, Suite shows this message:

"Data on Navigator may be corrupted. Please follow these steps in order to restore the data integrity"

I follow the procedure but, as the Suite restars, always show the same message.

In this case you have to update the software manually (it means without using Geosat Suite).

As first step you have to download the "SWUpdate.zip folder" using the link below 

http://cloud.avmap.us/suite/SW/C03/SWUpdate.zip

After downloading it on you PC, unzip the folder to obtain the unzipped "SWUpdate".

Then delete the zipped folder SWUpdate.zip.

Into the SWUpdate folder you will find other 2 folders:

SD

NAND

Connect Geosat 6 to the PC and do not launch the Suite.

ATTENTION: Now it is required to find, the 2 disks "removible disk" and "local disk" of your Geosat 6.

As connected Geosat 6 to the PC, these 2 disks should appear on the "My Computer" section. Each one is identified by a letter, for istance:

Removible Disk (F):

Local Disk (G):

( for Mac OSX users: on Mac system you will not find removible disk and local disk, but, as connected Geosat 6 to the computer, on the Desktop of the Mac you will find 2 new disks, named NONAME and UNNAME )

The 2 disks have also a different content; removible disk can be recognized because it is the one that contains the following folders:

CHARTS

Geosat6

Loquendo

Voice

Local disk instead will contain the following files and folders:

MP4 (folder)

Languages (folder)

Geosat6Start.exe (file)

OS.ver (file)

Serialcode.dat (file)

Now it is possible to copy the files and folders to recover all the system.

Open the removible disk and in the same time open the "SD" folder previously downloaded.

Copy the content of the SD folder into the removible disk:

IMPORTANT: you do not have to copy the SD "folder" directly, but you have to:

- open the SD folder

- select all folders you can find inside

- copy and paste all these folders into the removible disk of the navigator

(For Mac OSX users: copy the content of the "SD" folder into the disk that already contains the folders: Geosat6, FONTS, Loquendo.. etc)

If the copy and paste have been done successfully, the computer should ask you to overwrite the existing folders, then it will be sufficient to confirm the overwriting of these

folders to complete the procedure.

Then open the NAND folder and copy the content into the local disk of the navigator (the other disk we described here above).

Follow the same identical operation and suggestions provided for the removible disk.

(For Mac OSX users: copy the content of the NAND folder into the disk that already contains the folders MP4, Languages, .. etc)

The last step of the procedure is the restart of the Operative System of the unit:

RESTART OF THE OPERATIVE SYSTEM OF THE UNIT:

After the copying of the files as described above, remove safetly the unit from PC and disconnect the USB cable.

Start the unit and wait the main page loading. The main page of the Geosat is the blue page with the 2 main icons (Navigation and MultiMedia reader).

Then connect the Geosat 6 to the wall power cable.

Now use 2 pens or 2 pointed objects and follow this procedure:

- with one of the pointed object press and hold the button that is into the little hole near the SD slot card (it is on the low part of the unit, 

  it is the hole without lables or writtens) and DO NOT release it.

- with the other pointed object press (only one time) the button that is into the little hole with "reset" indication.

- Now the display of the unit should switch to a blue page with some percentage counters 0%-100%. If yes please RELEASE ALSO THE FIRST BUTTON and wait that the unit restarts automatically. If yes it means that also the Operative System have been correctly restarted and the unit should show again the main page (the one with the 2 main icons (Navigation and MultiMedia reader).

If you are in trouble with last procedure please download the video tutorial from this link:

http://cloud.avmap.us/download/OSG6_restart.mp4

(If after pressing the restart buttons you will receive an error message on the display of the unit, please write an email to [email protected] specifying the title

of this Faq, the error message you receive and communicate the MOD number of the unit itself. The MOD number is reported on the paper label of the unit itself and it is like

P1Mxxxxx. AvMap Technical Support operators will reply you providing the correct link to use for the downloading of the "SWUpdate.zip" folder specific for your unit).

After this last procedure click on the Navigation icon and enter into the internal Navigation system to check if everything is ok:

Click on Menu - System Info - Software: you must have:

Software: 2.29.286R

OS: 1.3.73R

If yes it means that the update of the Software and of the Operative System have been concluded correctly.

The cartography for AvMap aeronautical products includes information from several sources and data providers: NAVTEQ, Jeppesen, Seattle Avionics. For more info visit the Aeronautical Maps page 

It is possible to update each set of data separately: Jeppesen, Terrestrial Background or Street maps by downloading them  directly from the  AvMap Suite.

1. First read How to install and open the Suite

2. How to update maps with the AvMap Suite:

The Suite is able to detect whether your map is up-to-date or if a newer version is available. When a new version is available, a message will appear in the left part of the Suite main menu. You can buy the map only if you are logged in (otherwise the Map update button is disabled):

1.    Click on the Map Update button: the Management page is divided into two parts: the left column shows the maps present in the navigator, while the right column shows the purchased maps (downloaded in the PC). For each map it is displayed Name, version and a status light: if the map us still up-to-date the light is green, if the map is obsolete the light is red, and a “Purchase update” link appears.

2.    To update the map with the latest available version, click on “Purchase update” , the new available map will be displayed

3.    Click on Download.

4. The Shopping Cart page opens up: choose the payment method (Credit Card or PayPal). Remember that map updates must be purchased separately from other items (navigators, accessories, etc.). Click on the “Checkout” button to continue

5. The Shipping Address page opens up: fill the form in order to receive a regular invoice, then click on “Send Order” button

6. The Payment page opens up: you have to fill in your credit card or PayPal data, in order to finalize the purchase

You can either import your data ( marks and tracks) from the PC to the navigator  and export data from the Navigator to the PC.
This procedure require WIndows operating system, it is not possile with Mac OSX and Linux operating system.
 
It is possible to import contacts file .GPX  and .PLT. Contact files are exported in .GPX format, while the tracks in .PLT.
 
 
EXPORTING DATA

1. Before you export it is necessary to save your marks and traks in the File Browser.
 After a mark / contact  is stored go to page 3 of 4 from the main menu and select Save to Contacts (to save all the marks) and Save Track (this procedure will save all tracks).
 
2. In order to transfer its to your PC you must use the GSUpdate, the free desktop application that helps you keeping the navigator up-to-date,  to import / export data, Points of Interest etc..
How to download Geosat Update

 
3. Connect  the Geosat to the PC (the Geosat must be switched off and not connected to the power cable)

4. Start the GSUpdate and  select  "Manage Contacts"

5. select the contacts in the right window (SD content). Click the button with the blue arrow at the bottom and then select the folder in your PC where you want to save the file with your contacts.

                                                        

IMPORTING DATA

It is possible to  import GPX files. It is recommended to import a single file containing all the contacts you want to import.
CAUTION: The imported file will overwrite all existing contacts stored within the browser.

 1. Connect the PC to the Geosat (Geosat off and not connected to power) and start the GSUpdate.

2. In GSUpdate select "Manage Contacts", click the icon of the folder with a "+" green sign.
 

3. Select the file that you want to import from your PC
 

4.Click on "Open" to select the icon of transfer (SD card with the blue arrow on top)

Close GSUPdate and disconnect the navigator. To activate the new imported files you need access to Managing Files and load them.

It is possible to interface your Geosat 4x4 / 4x4Wild to applications such as Ozi Explorer the transfer of data (tracks and waypoints) to Ozi from Geosat and viceversa. Besides, if GPS signal is good, it’s possible to navigate using Ozi, that has the maps loaded inside and Geosat 5 as GPS receiver.
To connect the Geosat to the PC and interface it with Ozi, you must use the Navigator Interface Cable-PC and if it is necessary also the USB-Serial adapter. Both accessories are available in our shop.

Exporting and Importing to and from Ozi Explorer
1). IMPORTANT: In order for the data to be correctly transferred from Geosat to Ozi it is necessary to save first the waypoints that the tracks into File Manager page of your navigator (Menu - Page 3 - File Manager).
2) Disable the function 4x4
3) Select the NMEA 4800 (located at: main menu - settings - user preferences - Page 2: Interface - NMEA 4800)
 
How to connect Geosat 5 to OZI Explorer
1. if PC has a serial port, connect directly Geosat 5 to PC, using the serial cable;
2. if PC hasn’t a serial port, you can use the serial cable together with the Serial-USB adapter, but before using it you must download and install the adapter drivers into your PC (you can buy the adapter on our web site and you can download the drivers from the Geosat 4x4 web FAQ page). The serial cable must be plugged in the port marked as “TMC”, in the back side of Geosat. In order to use Ozi Explorer with Geosat 5, you must choose the right configuration.
To set the configuration:
1) from FILE menu, choose Configuration
2) in the opened page, choose GPS menu: in the GPS Maker tag choose NMEA Only from the option list
3) From Configuration choose now COM menu: in this page set the COM port number which the navigator is linked to (in the picture the red arrow indicates the tag). This operation is very important because if you set the wrong port the link will be not possible. You must set also the baud rate: choose 4800 in the tag indicated by the green arrow in the picture.
Now it’s possible to transfer waypoints.
In order to transfer the waypoints from Geosat to PC, it needs to select “Get waypoints from GPS using NMEA sentences” from the GPS NMEA ONLY menu.
In the Geosat, that must be turned on during the connection, in Contacts menu open the folder containing the waypoints that you want to transfer: in the opened folder click on SEND button. During the transfer, a pop up window that show the transfer of the waypoints on the OZI map in progress appears. Close this window clicking on Close button, after the message that informs user that transfer is correctly done appears on Geosat display.
Now it’s possible to see all the transferred waypoints marked with their name on the map. Note: if you want to store the transferred waypoints on Ozi, it’s necessary to save them before closing the program.

Importing and exporting data using the GeosatUpdate
Using the GeosatUpdate desktop application, you can manage tracks, points of interest, welcome images, voices and other contents of your GPS and synchronize them  very easily on the device. Through GSUpdate you can manage (export and import) traces in .plt  format (this format is used by OziExplorer for example)
1. Start the application Geosat Update and click on Geosat Tracks.
2. In the left window will appear  the recorded tracks on Geosat 4x4; select a track and then click the Export icon on Ozi Explorer to save on your PC the track in a  format compatible with Ozi Explorer.
3. To import a track, on the same screen click on the icon Import from Ozi Explorer and choose from the PC the file of the track you want to import.
3. The application Geosat Update will convert the file in a  format compatible with Geosat 4x4 and save in the memory card.
 
Exporting and Importing to and from Google Earth
It is possible to use Google Earth to create tracks and contacts, save the files in. kml format and convert them in GPX format using any free tool available on the Web (AvMap recommends ‘GPS Babel’) .
Vice versa, it is possible to export your contacts in GPX format through GSUpdate and visualize it directly to Google Earth.
IMPORTANT: Before you export your contacts and tracks using GSUpdate you need to SAVE all your data in File Manager.
After importing the data it is necessary to reload the file transferred on File Manager.

The color, sunlight-viewable LCD TFT backlight screen is 7 inches diagonal, with an 800 x 480 resolution and a brightness of 400 nits.

The display  is equipped with a sensor for the automatic adjustment of brightness.

We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight: if the device is not used, the screen should not be exposed directly to sunlight, exposure to ultraviolet rays of the display can shorten the life of the liquid crystals used in the cartographic plotter.
 

It refers to the internal temperature of the navigator, not to the atmospheric one.

In any AvMap navigator, both the navigation software and the map data are preloaded on the memory card. The software update, however, is separate and apart from map data update.

Periodically, AvMap releases updates for the navigation software, free of charge. The software update concerns the navigation functions, messages and vocal instructions languages, menus, graphics, etc... Software Updates can be downloaded from the Support Section or through  the Geosat Suite.

The Map update on the other hand is not free. The updated data are released several times a year by our map providers and reworked and implemented by AvMap. When you update the maps, you update data such as street names, attributes and characteristics of the roads, one-ways, roundabouts, house numbers, points of interest, etc... The updates can be purchased on the AvMap shop online or through  the Geosat Suite.

It is always recommended that you secure your data in the internal navigator’s memory in case of Software Update, Ram Clear (memory reset) or  SD card change, otherwise the data will be lost.

Saving data  in File Manager will secure them and it will be  possible to recover them by “reloading” them.

1. Go to page 3 of 4 from the main menu and select File Management

2. Select Save to Contacts (this will save all the marks) and Save Track. Each  file track saves one single track. While saving a MARK File saves all the previously stored Marks.

How to Transfer contents from Geosat to PC
You can explore the content of your Geosat such as saved routes, contacts, recorded tracks and save them in your PC in order to share them with friends. The gpx files can be used also by other mapping software such as Google Earth.
1. Click on “Explore Device” button, a window will open up showing the contents of your Geosat.
2. Click on the links on the left to display the desired contents (Routes, Contacts, Tracks)
3. Save them on your PC clicking on “Copy to PC” button.
The Suite will create:
• A unique .GPX file for all your saved contacts,
• A unique .GPX file for all your saved tracks,
• And a unique .XML file for all your saved routes inside the Geosat folder C:\Documents and Settings\[PC_username]\Documents\Geosat\. You can choose a different destination folder in the Settings menu, in the “Destination Folders” page. These contents can be imported in another Geosat

How to Add Contents from PC

1. Click the ’Add contents from PC’ button: a window will open up showing the contents of your PC (Geosat folder)
2. Click the “Add” button to browse other folders in your PC
3. Choose the file to transfer (.GPX file with contacts, GPX file with Tracks or .XML file with Routes)
4. Click the “Replace” button to overwrite the files existing in your Geosat
5. Click the “Synchronize” button if you want to copy the files, without overwriting those existing inside the Geosat.

Transfer waypoints from a PC in real time with a serial connection
If you have installed in your PC a mapping software, you can transfer the Road Book ( a series of waypoints) from Geosat to the PC and view it in that application. Geosat 4x4 Crossover can communicate to the PC through serial cable (available as an accessory) and NMEA 4800 protocol. You can transfer waypoints from Geosat 4x4 Crossover to the mapping software and vice versa, for example during a race / competition. If your PC does not have a serial port, but only USB, you can also buy the serial - USB cable adapter on the online store.
Connecting Geosat 4x4 Crossover to the PC:
1. Switch on Geosat 4x4 Crossover and connect the serial cable to the I/O port on the right side of the device, then connect the serial cable to the PC.

Kenwood TH-D72A/E SetUp

• Turn the TH-D72A/E ON.
• Press the F button.
• Use the up/down/OK/Esc control to select and set the following functions:
- F-1 – Int. GPS – Off
- F-7 – Voice Alert – Off
• Press Esc to exit the function menu.
• Use the A/B button to select the desired radio side for APRS.
• Press the VFO button and adjust the frequency to your standard APRS frequency (144.39MHz in the US).
• If necessary, press F-Shift to remove + and – from the display.
• If necessary, press Tone to remove the T, CT, DCS, and D/O icons from the display. The icon position should be blank.
• Press Menu button and set or verify the menu settings below. Leave all other settings at default, for now. Note: only important default settings are included
here.
• Press the Menu button again to close the Menu.
 

The Kenwood TH-D72A/E is now ready to interface with the Geosat 6 APRS. Now that the configuration is complete, it’s time to see if it will work.
1. Turn off the Geosat 6 APRS and the TH-D72A/E.

2. Connect the two units using the data cable provided with your AvMap Geosat 6 APRS. Plug the fourconductor plug, with three black insulating rings into the I/O port on the Geosat 6 APRS. This is the top jack on the right side of the Geosat 6 APRS. Make sure the plug is firmly seated in the jack. Open the
COM cover on the TH-D72A/E and plug the three-conductor plug (two black insulating rings) into the COM port. Again, make sure it is firmly seated. A common problem with operation failure is not having the plugs firmly inserted in the units, or having the connections reversed. Double check your connections.

3. Turn on the Geosat G6 APRS and the TH-D72A/E. Wait until the Geosat 6 APRS has acquired sufficient satellites to establish a 3D position. A blinking GPS icon (not iGPS) should then appear in the upper right corner of TH-D72A/E display.

4. Set the volume at about 1/3 volume. If there is APRS activity in your area, you should here the brief “growl” of packet transmissions. You will hear a short
beep when you receive an APRS signal, a longer beep when you transmit your position, and a double (highlow) beep when you receive your position back from a digipeater. Now that you have a working system, you will want to decrease your beacon rate, and change other settings according to your desired operating method.
Read the APRS section of the Kenwood TH-D72A/E CD manual. This manual provides additional information on the functions of the various APRS controls, and

Troubleshooting
If you do not see a flashing “GPS” signal on the upper right hand corner of the TH-D72A/E, or APRS stations are not appearing in the APRS Contacts list on  the Geosat 6 APRS, then the data cable may not be fully or correctly seated.

1. Remove one plug and assure that it is the correct plug for that unit and is plugged into the correct port, according to the description in the previous section
of these instructions. Return the plug to the proper port and firmly push it in.
2. Check that the cord at the other end is in the correct port and firmly press on the plug to assure it is properly seated.
3.Check the cord for continuity and no shorts, using an ohmmeter, especially if it is a home brewed data cable.
4. Verify that the Geosat 6 APRS is computing a position fix.
5. Listen to your APRS frequency on the TH-D72A/E or on a different radio to verify there is APRS activity in your area.
6. Reread and verify the setup sections of these instructions.
7. Perform a Partial Reset of your TH-D72A/E per the instructions on page RESET-1 of the CD manual, then, repeat the setup instructions. A partial reset will not erase your memory channels, but will set all other settings to their default values.

The Ram Clear is a memory reset that can be carried out in case of fatal error or to reset the memory in order to restore the default
settings. Attention: this operation will delete your Marks if they have not been saved with the File Manager.
1. Connect the power supply of your AvMap navigator. The unit has to be turned off at that time.
2. Power on the navigator with the PAGE button pressing at the same time the FIND button. Hold both keys until the ‘System Test’ window is displayed.
3. Select Ram Clear with the JOYSTICK, then press the + button to confirm.
4. You will then see a message “Are you sure?” press the + key to confirm. ‘Ram Cleared’ will be displayed.
5. When the Ram is cleared, you can turn off the unit with the PAGE button.

Press twice the MENU key, select SETUP DATA BOXES and press the ENT key to confirm. The DATA BOXES FIELDS window is displayed. The first data box is selected and it appears in black. Press the ENT key. Now select the box you want to replace with the one selected and press the ENT key to confirm. To quit press twice the ESC key.

The GPS signal acquiring must be done with the Vehicle STOPPED and not in movement, so wait for the GPs signal and then start the work. 

The duration of the battery at full bright is about 30 minutes. The duration can be extended by decreasing the brightness of the LCD up to 80-90 minutes

- Please ensure that the navigator is correctly positioned on the bracket and attached to the windscreen. - Please ensure that there aren't obstacles between the vehicle and the sky. GPS signal is not received indoors or in boxes or tunnels. - If you are moving, please try to stop and start again after the signal is acquired: for the navigator is much harder to calculate the GPS position while moving, for that reason acquiring will be slower.

You can enrich your maps adding extra POIs such as speed cameras downloaded from the internet in .csv, .gsp, .ov2 format.

How to download the files:

Geosat is compatible with POI in OV2, CS, GSP format. These POi are distributed by several websites such as WWW.POIGPS.COM and WWW.ADIVOR.IT

For a faster procedure, save these POIs in the Geosat folder of your PC (or whichever destination folder you have selected in the Suite settings). Once you have downloaded the files, please check inside the folder that for each file there is also a corresponding image file  (eg. speedtraps.ov2 and speedtraps.bmp )
