I. Introduction
The Map Converter is one of the functions you can find in
the Suite: it allows converting a paper or electronic map and
loading it in your navigator.
The MapConverter works on PC.
Which maps can I load on my navigator?
MapConverter allows you converting raster maps from the
.kmz (Google Earth) or .map (Ozi Explorer) formats to the
AvMap proprietary format. To use the converter you need to
have a .kmz or .map file.
The “raster” map will be shown in the background of the
vector street map preloaded in the navigator Raster maps
are just images and cannot provide turn-by-turn navigation,
which is possible only along the streets present in the
preloaded vector map.
Attention:
When creating your custom map, be responsible and only
create a custom map from a map that is in the public domain,
that you hold the copyright in, or that you have permission to
use from the copyright holder. AvMap disclaims any liability
for the custom maps loaded into the navigator by customers.
AvMap disclaims any liability deriving from an improper
use of the device in a way that may cause accidents or
damages to things or persons, due to the inaccuracy of the
data pictured in the custom maps.
How many maps can I load on my
navigator?
AvMap navigators read up to 8 maps, included those
preloaded in the SD memory card, independently of the free
space in the memory. Please check how many maps are
already preloaded on your SD to know how many more you
can load at the same time.
Maps preloaded on your navigator are listed in the maps
info page. To access this page
• Press the Menu button,
• Scroll the pages and press of system info,
• Press the Maps button.
Each map has a name and a map code like this: T-EU-
Qxxx.xx (or T-NA-Q or T-SA-Q according to the continent)
and next to that the type of map is indicated in brackets
(TCE / TZC / TCV).
Attention:
Do not load more maps with the same coverage to avoid
overlapping (in that case only one map will be visible)
