Map Backup
The ground station system adopts the data platforms of Google Earth and Google Satellite. During map browsing,
the system will automatically save the data of browsed maps to the system so that you can view the browsed maps
offline. However, the map storage capacity of Google Earth is limited (the maximum capacity of Google Earth is 2G
and that of Google Maps is 1G). When the capacity of browsed map data exceeds this limit, the old map data will be
lost.
In addition, data loss may be caused by misoperation, which will result in the failure of access to Google Earth data
platform after the ground station system is opened.
To avoid loss of map data, data backup software is provided in the Ubuntu operating system. This software provides
the following three functions:
1. Save map data; during use of the ground station, the user can save the map data according to area partition and
date.
Note: The data backup file should not exceed the map capacity limit (Google Earth: 2G; Google Maps: 1G).
2. Restore map data; in case maps cannot be loaded due to data loss during use, if access to Internet is also not
available, the user can enter this software to restore map data.
3. Delete: Delete undesired backup data.
Important notice: Before use of map backup, first open the ground station GS software in the Windows
system, and make sure maps of Google Satellite and Google Earth have been downloaded and can be
used.
The operation steps are as follows:
1
Start up and select to enter the Ubuntu system (see the following picture):
After opening the ground station system, select to enter the Ubuntu system in the “Select System” menu:
