Thread: problem with new map file for 4500?

  1. #11
    I tried the latest pocketFMS Map file on my 4500 today and it worked well.

    Thanks, that's a useful picture.
    I will go now and check to see what message I get when powering up. I certainly don't recognise that "Jeppesen on board" image. Why do you have that if you are using PocketFMS data?

    Advanced will decide what start up screen.
    In the "Map data file" you will see what file is used.

    OK, I now realise that I have the same Jeppesen image but I never noticed it before!
    Here are two images:
    One shows my start-up screen with the working but outdated map data card installed and the other shows the screen with the latest data card installed (which doesn't work). I'm sure I must be doing something wrong but if I take a copy of the working card, delete the old map file and replace it with the new map file it doesn't work.
    I have tried re-formatting the card to FAT32 but still no success.

    I don't know how to make the pictures appear on this page, sorry.

    So I have been running your map data for the majority of the morning here with no issues. You might have a problem with your SD card at this point. I also noticed that you have renamed the map to AF2MAPEU.AFM which is an unnecessary step.


    Could you send me a screenshot of your file browser showing the files on the SD card.

    The resolution of this post is to ensure the files that are located on the SD card.

    Your card must contain only 3 .AFM files:
    AF2MAPFM.AFM
    AF2TER__.AFM
    AF2VEC__.AFM

    Where '__' is relating to your location:
    US = UNITED_STATES
    AF = AFRICA
    AS = ASIA
    EU = EUROPE
    ME = MIDDLE EAST
    NA = NORTH AMERICA
    PA = PACIFIC
    SA = SOUTH AMERICA
