Meest gestelde vragen voor - Geosat 6 Bluetooth Peugeot 107 NL

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).

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.

 

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.

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.



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 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 Geoat 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.

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
.
 

The iPod icon, unlikely the Bluetooth one, stays inactive untill an iPod has been connected nect to the navigator holder through the Y cable provided.

 

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.

Sure, you can purchase a fixed holder from our . shop on line
