11.1 Updating the Software
The latest software version to update your Geosat 5 is available, free of charge, from
www.avmap.it
.
Each
Software update
is an executable file with an intuitive user interface that makes the updating
operation easier.
To check whether your Geosat 5 needs to be updated, you need to establish which software version
is pre-loaded on your device and then visit the
www.avmap.it
website to check if it is the latest
available version.
How to check the software version in your Geosat:
1. Press the
MENU key
2. Touch the
Settings button
twice
3. Touch the
System info button
The software version is indicated in the first line as V1.xx.xxxR (dd-mm-yy), while the chart version
is indicated in the second to last line as T-EUQ-xxx.xx
The next step is to check whether there are updates available from the
Support
section of
www.
avmap.it
How to install the drivers on your PC:
If this is the first time that you have updated the software, you first need to register your product on
the URL
www.avmap.it
under the Support section.
Select Product registration and fill out all the required fields. After completing the form, you will
receive an email with your login and password details.
After registering the product, select Faqs and Download, and choose from the drop-down menu the
model of the navigator to be updated, then click on drivers (this is necessary just the first time you
update the software ). In the drivers page click on download, you will be asked to enter your login
and password details and then the download will start.
Once the drivers have been saved, launch the set up (USB_Geosat_Drivers-Setup) and follow the
instructions
without connecting your AvMap Geosat to the PC
. Once the setup is finished, restart
your PC. If the drivers have been correctly installed, they will be displayed in the Control Panel under
Add/Remove Programs as ‘Chart Plotter USB drivers’. This driver will let your PC communicate with
your navigator.
GsUpdate
Once you have downloaded the drivers, you can download the
Software update
- called
“gsupdate”.
1. In the Support Area, Faq’s and Download section click on Software Update.
Find the latest release of the software, which will incorporate all the most recent improvements
(and all the previous ones).
