In order to purchase a map update without loosing your APRS function, you must download the update from the Geosat Suite  ( and not from the shop on line).

1. Connect the navigator to the PC and open Geosat Suite
2. Select Map Update, in the left column you can see the map preloaded on your navigator. The red light shpows that it is not updated.
3. Click on Buy update.

                                                               

This way you will buy a map update ( a new map file and a new  licence) keeping the APRS functions.
 
ATTENTION: Buying a new memory card on the shop online e.g. Europe maps,  you will buy a European map with basic license, which does NOT include the special APRS software. Awlays use the Geosat Suite to update our Geosat 6 APRS.

The APRS Messaging function is available only when Geosat 6 APRS is connected to a transceiver or modem supporting that function. Connecting Geosat 6 APRS to Tiny Trak 4 it is possible to send and receive text messages using the complete virtual keyboard on the Geosat 6 APRS’ display.

Just touch any data box to open the list of available data, select the type of info you would like to be displayed and confirm. Repeat this operation for each data box to customize your navigation experience.

The Geopilot II Plus is able to interface with any device (external GPS, etc.) that  accepts NMEA0183 data. Consult the manufacturer of the device to verify that accepts NMEA0183. WARNING! The RS232 devices can NOT communicate with the navigator.

The Geopilot II Plus accepts any video source corresponding to PAL or NTSC signals are not supported monochromatic.

1) First of all, please check that the red light on the plug of the cigarette lighter cable is turned on. if not than either the plug or the power source defective.

If the light is on, then the problem is on the navigator's side:

2) Be sure that you power the device connecting it to the correct connector (the one with a "pin" in the center on the back) and then, with a toothpick, press the reset button located at the bottom of the accessible hole from the rear of the navigator.

 

If the flight fields do not have a  ICAO code reported in the database of our data providers (Avioportolano for Italy, Aeroshop for Spain) we automatically create a code formed by the first two letters of the province and a sequence of numbers within the same province.

For different countries, there may be homonyms (eg Turin and Toledo).

Use the scroll symbol to find  the desired one.

The display of EKP IV is ultra-bright and visible in the sunlight. The color screen (64K) with a resolution of 800x480 pixels, is equipped with a sensor for the automatic adjustment of brightness.
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight: when  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.

If you already have a MOTIVO II (with maps on external SD memory card), the software UPGRADE is free and will update the graphical interface and will add a several navigation functions such as trip computer, the organizer of stops and lane guidance.

New features at a glance:

- The "Trip Computer" was designed to help the driver to get an overview of the journey, showing informations such as average speed, travel time, stop time, etc..

- The "organizer stops" is useful to help you organize your trip. Entering the destination and time of departure, the navigator requires the distance or the time within which you want to stop. The software calculates the station and provides the point of interest closest to the stop, such as a gas station, a restaurant or a hotel.
 

- "The lane assistant" will suggest you what lane to follow in multi-lane road sections, indicating the type of marks present between the lanes.
 

- The new software also gives you the opportunity to choose between the vertical and horizontal display, to take advantage of the screen 4.3 of MOTIVO.

If you have a MOTIVO I with preloaded maps in the internal memory (so that it works without any memory card), the UPGRADE also involves the ability to read maps on external SD, so the free software upgrade is only useful if you intend to buy a map update.
