Thread: System update and No Map File problem

    System update and No Map File problem

    I purchased a demo Sportsman from Glasair and shipped it to where I live in Cape Town, South Africa. It is very well kitted out as an IFR aeroplane and has a 4500 advanced deck and a 3400s as the second screen, all integrated with a 430, and an AFS autopilot etc.

    It's working brilliantly, but I just have two issues I still need to get sorted after the move from Seattle and the intervening time since the system was last updated there:

    1. I need to bring the software up to the latest appropriate for each unit. I think I have the procedure understood, but just want to make sure what version is the one I should be downloading and installing for each of the screens (I guess it's the same for both?).

    The key config info for each unit is as follows:

    4500s:

    Ser No>: 61330

    SW: S8.6.22-MV15 (Feb 10 2012)

    Keys: MAP AOA SVN

    Map File Version 15 Africa (Jeppesen)

    Map vector file : Version 3 Loaded

    Map Terrain File Loaded


    3400s

    Ser No>: 61347

    SW: S8.6.4-MV15 (Jul 12 2011)

    Keys: MAP AOA SVN

    Mapping Status : Map File Not Found


    2. I updated the maps by downloading the Africa maps via the AFS site, and purchased the third file from Jeppesen as required. After loading the three files onto the SD card (in the root), the maps display perfectly on the 4500s, but if I insert the same card into the 3400s it continues to display "No Map File". The three files are the following:

    AF2TERAF.AFM
    AF2VECAF.AFM
    AFSMAPAF.AFM

    They are from the _V15 update.


    Both screens have the MAP AOA and SVN keys.


    I would be grateful for your guidance so I can get 100% up to date and then take it from there!

    Many thanks

    Try installing the latest software on both units:

    The Ver 15 map data should work with it.

    Hi Rob

    Did the update this afternoon and all went perfectly, using the update instructions for the "s" series screens. I now have maps on both the 4500s and the 3400s.

    Happiness and relief

    Thanks

    Mike
