The map statuses can be 3:
-    Green: the map is u -to-date ( it is the latest released)
-    Red: the map is not up-to-date ( a new release is available)
-   Yellow: it is not possible to determine the validity of your map because the navigator has never been used. Please use the navigator first , getting a GPS fix position at a certain speed and then re-connect the EKP V to the PC.


Beside the status, you may see a green rosette meaning you have are guarantee for free the latest released map. In facts, when you buy a new AvMap navigator, you get the New Map Guarantee: that means you are guarantee for free the latest released map.

If a newer map is released by AvMap within 30 days from your first  use, the New map Guarantee allows you to download it for free using the Suite PC application.
You have 30 days from the first usage of your new AvMap navigator  (from the first acquisition of satellites at a certain speed)  to download  the Suite  and check if a new map is available for you for free! You can download only one free map for your navigator.
If the navigator has never been used it is impossible to determine the validity of the map, thus the yellow status map appears.

This may be due to the fact that there is a new version of the Geosat Suite available, please check the upper bar on the Suite Home page, and make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest Suite version. 
A important update is the one introduced with Suite Version 1.5.46R (Windows) / 1.0.41R (MacOS) released the 06/10/2013.

At the end of the procedure the maps will be correctly displayed  in the right column (purchases) of the Suite’s  Map management page, and they could be loaded on the navigator.

The Geosat 6 can be set in "power saving mode".
1. From the main menu touch Settings
2. Touch Device Preferences
3. Touch Power Save. Here you can set 4 different levels of Power Save:

- OFF
- MEDIUM
- MINIMUM
- MAXIMUM

Choosing OFF, the battery life will be shorter, while choosing maximum power save will extend the battery life thanks to several tricks to save power.
Here is how the device acts in different situations according to the power save mode:

 
Case 1: THE POWER CABLE IS CONNECTED

- Status: OFF -  the device always stays on

- Staus: MINIMUM - the device shuts down after 2 hours of inactivity

- Status: MEDIUM or MAXIMUM -  if the device is left idle for 30 minutes, the display brightness is lowered, and then the device turns off after 2 hours of inactivity.

 

CASE 2: THE POWER CABLE IS DISCONNECTED (battery mode)

- Status: MEDIUM - if the device is left idle for more than 30 minutes (and brightness is set to over 30%), the display brightness will be automatically lowered to the 30% together with the backlit AvMap logo on the device frame.

- Status: MAXIMUM - after 30 minutes of inactivity, the device will turn off and the brightness of the LED AvMap will be lowered to 30% of luminosity .

6. Select the flight plans from the list on your right and Click Import to EKP. The imported flight plans will be listed in the left column.

7. Select as destination the USERIMG.BIN file found in the memory card. The GPX file will be added to this USERIMG.BIN.

ATTENTION: the space available in the USERIMG.BIN file is limited. You can save in one file (route, track or flight plan) a maximum of 1000 Waypoints, 5000 track points and 100 flight plan legs, and you can save a maximum of 60 files in the USERIMG.BIN.

8. Close the GPXconverter, click on safe removal and extract the memory card from the reader.

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.

 

The tracks in the navigator you can export and import from your PC using the appropriate function in the Geosat5 Updater, which you can download from our website in the support section. The tracks are exported in plt format, compatible with OZI Explorer and can be imported only if they are in that format

2. Press the second button starting from the top (Home). The screen will display  "Press home to start calibration",  (  it this message does not appear, you need to  update the software)

 3. Press Home again and start the calibration procedure (using the tip of a pen or pencil to run more accurately).

 4. Touch with the tip of the pen in the exact centre of the cross that appears in the lower left corner. The cross moves, continue to perform the same procedure until the test screen appears.
