You can create and load your custom raster maps on your Geosat  4x4 Crossover using the Geosat Suite ( Mapl Converter function).
Use Google Earth or other mapping software (e.g. OziExplorer) to georeference an image of a map and then use the Map Converter  to convert it and import it in your navigator. The Map Converter converts your maps from  .kmz (Google Earth) or .map (Ozi Explorer) format to the AvMap's format, and matches them with the  vectorial cartography preloaded inthe navigator.

VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS

Operating system must be at least 1.3 (see the procedure in FAQ)

- download the file from see the procedure in FAQ)

- download the file from here
- unzip the file
- Connect G6 to PC via USB cable
- You will see two external devices: mass storage (internal memory) and SD
- Opens SD Card (it's the one where you can see Geosat6 folder).
- copy the extracted folder (Loquendo) on the same level of Geosat6 folder (not inside)
- Safely remove the device and disconnect USB cable

To activate TTS, power on the navigator, go to language settings and select Smart Instructions.

Please check that the SD containing AvMap's software and Map is inserted in the slot. Please remember that the AvMap software and cartography works only with original AvMap's SD cards.

They could be removed or, more likely, they were moved in another menu. Another cause could be that you performed the wrong update , updating only software and not the Operative System Restart.

This error may be caused by the fact that the trace files often contain inside track points.
Geosat Suite accepts files .gpx that contain ONLY TRACKS (so only the path) or ONLY contact  (Points / waypoints)
 
To split the file type you can do this;
 
- Open the file (kmz, kml, gpx or gdb) with Google Earth
- On the left menu, expand the file displaying the components
   (Eg TRACKS = Points + PATH)
 
- Eliminate Points
- Rename the PATH by entering the name of the track
 
- Save the resulting file format .KML (Save as)
- Convert the file to GPX using GPS Babel (and let selected
   "tracks") to obtain for  example TRACKS.gpx
 
- Reload the original file with Google Earth and do the same with the POINTS ( delete your PATH and leave the waypoints)
 
- Save the resulting file format. KML (Save as)
- Convert the file to GPX using GPS Babel (let selected
   "tracks") to obtain for example WAYPOINTS.gpx
 
- The two files and WAYPOINTS.gpx TRACKS.gpx can now be transferred into the Geosat Through, with no error messages.
