WARRANTY
AvMap warrants their GPS receiver and accessories to be free of defects in material and work-
manship for a period of two years from the date of original purchase. This warranty applies only
to the original purchaser of this product. In the event of a defect, AvMap, at its option, will
repair or replace the product with no charge to the purchaser for parts or labor. The repaired
or replaced product will be warranted for ninety (90) days from the date of return shipment, or
for the balance of the original warranty, whichever is longer.
PURCHASER’S REMEDY - Purchaser’s Exclusive Remedy under this written warranty or any
implied warranty shall be limited to the repair or replacement, at AvMap’s option, of any
defective part of the receiver or accessories which are covered by this warranty. Repairs under
this warranty shall only be made by an authorized AvMap dealer.
PURCHASER’S DUTIES - To obtain warranty service, the purchaser must return the receiver

address to AvMap, or an authorized AvMap representative. AvMap will not be responsible for
any losses or damage to the product incurred while the product is in transit or is being shipped
for repair. Insurance is recommended.
LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES - Except as set forth above, all other expressed or implied
warranties, including those of fitness for any particular purpose and merchantability, are hereby
disclaimed. Some states do not allow limitations on warranties, so the above limitation may
not apply to you.
EXCLUSIONS - This warranty does not cover the following: Installation, Finishes, Defects resulting
from installation. Any damage due to accident, resulting from inaccurate satellite transmissions.
Inaccurate transmissions can occur due to changes in the position, health, or geometry of a

Attenzione! L’esposizione del display ai raggi ultravioletti può accorciare la vita dei
cristalli liquidi usati nel vostro plotter cartografico. Questo limite è dovuto alla tecnologia costruttiva
degli attuali display. Evitare inoltre che il display si surriscaldi per non causare una diminuzione di
contrasto che, in casi estremi, può rendere lo schermo completamente nero. Tale condizione è
comunque reversibile durante il raffreddamento.
Warning! Exposure of display to UV rays may shorten life of the liquid crystals used in
your plotter. This limitation is due to the current technology of the LCD displays. Avoid overheating
which may cause loss of contrast and, in extreme cases, a darkening of the screen. Problems which
occur from overheating are reversible when temperature decreases.
Achtung! Ultraviolette Strahlen können die Lebensdauer vom Flüssigkristalldisplay
verkürzen. Die derzeitige LCD-Technologie bedingt diese verkürzte Lebensdauer.
Überhitzung des Displays durch Sonneneinstrahlung führt zu einem Kontrastverlust und in extremen
Fällen sogar in eine Schwär zung des Bildschirmes. Bei sinkenden Temperaturen normalisiert sich
der Kontrast wieder und die Bildschirminformation wird wieder ablesbar.
Attention! L’exposition de votre écran LCD aux ultra-violets lors de soleil intense
réduira la durée de vie de l’afficheur de votre lecteur. Cette contrainte est liée à la technologie des
écrans LCD. Une augmentation trop importante de température peut obscurer des zones de votre
écran et le rendre ainsi inutilisable (non couvert par la garantie).
Aviso! La exposición de la pantalla a los rayos UV puede acortar la vida del cristal líquido
usado en su ploter. Esta limitación se debe a la tecnología actual de las pantallas LCD. Evitar que
la pantalla se caliente en exceso pues puede causar pérdida de contraste y, en caso extremo, la
pantalla puede quedar totalmente negra. Este problema revierte al enfriarse la pantalla

Warning!!!
A measure of knowledge by the user is required for proper and safe use of the chart plotter.
Read the User Manual and the Warranty completely.
Use Good Judgement
This product is an excellent navigation aid, but it does not replace the need for careful
pilotage and good judgement. Never rely solely on one means of naviga-tion.
Use Care to Avoid Inaccuracies
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the U.S. Government, which is solely
responsible for the accuracy and the maintenance of GPS. Certain conditions can make the
system less accurate.
Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry.
The accuracy of position fixes is subject to changes in accordance with the Department of
Defense civil GPS user policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan.
Cleaning Procedure for the Chartplotter Screen
Cleaning of the chartplotter screen is a very important operation and must be done carefully.
Since the surface is covered by a antireflective coating, the procedure for cleaning all the
surfaces can be performed using the following procedure: You need a tissue or lens tissue
and a cleaning spray containing Isopropanol (a normal spray cleaner sold for the PC screen,
for example PolaClear by Polaroid). Fold the tissue or lens tissue into a triangular shape,
moisten the tip and use the index finger behind a corner to move the tissue across the
surface, in overlapping side to side strokes. If the tissue is too wet, a noticeable wet film will
be left in its path and you will need to repeat the process. If too dry, the tissue won’t glide
easily, and may damage the surface.

1.3 FLYING START
These pages provide a very brief overview of several of the Geopilot II’s important features, the
Main Menu, the Moving Map, GoTo flights and locating a Waypoint in the Database. It does not
replace the User Manual, which should be read to get the fullest possible use from your Geopilot
II.
Note
The Geopilot II is an aid to navigation. It does not replace paper charts and good judgement.
1.3.1 The Moving Map
Before starting, connect the Geopilot II to power and place the antenna with a clear view of the sky.
Turn On the unit pressing ‘NEAR’. Press ‘ENT’ to exit from the Warning page and enter the Moving
Map mode. The Moving Map is the default state displaying the Moving Map screen and the Data

Fig. 1.3.2 - Main Menu
1.3.3 Moving Map Functions
The Moving Map operates in Auto Home, Auto Zoom, and Cursor Mode. The screen will behave
differently based on the mode of operation selected. The Auto Home mode will allow the user to
16
pan away from his present position to view other parts of the map, and return to present position
automatically when no buttons are pushed for a pre-determined amount of seconds. Auto Zoom
mode will keep your present position, and your destination in the screen at all times. The screen
will automatically zoom in as you get closer. To shut off this function, simply select OFF.
The Cursor Mode (OFF Selected) will allow you to move the map to any position to view data or
details. To return to your present position, just press ‘ESC’ while in moving map.
The control for these functions is found in the Moving Map Menu, under Auto Position Mode.
1.3.4 Moving Map Icons
The following icons are displayed on the Moving Map to represent Waypoints, navigation aids and
airports.
Fig. 1.3.4 - Moving Map Icons
1.3.5 Course Predictor
Indicates the projected position at the set time interval if the current speed and heading are kept.
This allows the pilot to correct for wind drift, in real time, right from the moving map. To select
course predictor:
> ‘MENU’ 1 sec. + “SYSTEM SETUP+ ‘ENT’ + “FIX SETUP+ ‘ENT’ + “COURSE
17
PREDICTOR” + ‘ENT
1.3.6 GoTo
GoTo sets a 1-leg course from the present position to any location or selected Waypoint. To activate
a GoTo Flight Plan move the cursor to the desired location or Waypoint and press ‘GOTO’. The
GoTo menu box will open enabling you to activate the current cursor position or search the
Database for a specific object to fly to. To activate the current cursor position, highlight “CURSOR”
and press ‘ENT’. To activate a GoTo Flight Plan to a specific Database item, select the category and

2 THE BASICS
This chapter provides general information about the functions of the keys and entering data.
2.1 THE KEYBOARD
The GeoPilot2 has 7 keys, which access and control features. Some keys perform different tasks
based on the operation mode. A quick key guide is displayed at the bottom of many menus for easy
reference. Below we indicate the keys in capital letters enclosed between single inverted commas,
for example ‘MENU’. When a key, for example ‘MENU’, must be pressed and held down for more
than 1 second it is shown as ‘MENU’ 1 sec.
The Near key
‘NEAR’: press and hold to turn the GeoPilot2 On.
‘NEAR’ 3 sec.: once the GeoPilot has been turned On turns the GeoPilot Off.
‘NEAR’: (immediately release!) Displays a list of the 20 nearest objects, including private airports
which contain runways of at least 500 ft. in lenght, relative to fix position or cursor position if no
fix is available.
‘NEAR’: 1 sec once the GeoPilot2 has been turned On displays the Brightness and the Contrast
Menu.
The GoTo key
Activates a Flight Plan to the cursor position (in Moving Map) or to selected object (in other
modes).
GOTO 1 sec.: allows the user to quickly filter mapping information on the display. There are three
Cycle modes selectable and holding GOTO shifts from one to the other in succession. The default
Cycle is the Cycle 1 that normally activates all features to be visible on the display.
To set user preferences for the Cycle Key:
‘MENU’ + “SELECTIVE DISPLAY” + ‘ENTER’
The Cycles appear in the first three columns and are labeled 1, 2 and 3. In order to adjust at which
Cycle features appear, use the Cursor Control key to highlight an item and hit ‘ENTER’ to remove
the item from appearing. Hit ENTER again to check the item so that it will appear on the display
when that Cycle is activated. Continue to use this procedure to activate features in Cycles 1 - 3 as
desired.
The - key
Shows less detail of a larger area by changing the chart scale and zooming out on the map display.
The cursor key
Moves the cursor on the Moving Map, quickly and accurately. Also scrolls to the desired options
in menu page(s).
If pressed on the center it works as an ‘ENT’ key, it selects the desired option or confirms selection.
Also opens the Cursor/Position Menu.
The + key
Shows more detail of a smaller area by changing the chart scale and zooming in on the map display.
If pressed outside the Moving Map it can be used as an ‘ENT’ key
The Esc key
Rejects an action, closes a window or activates Home or Auto Zoom mode.
19
‘Esc’ 3 sec. on the moving map changes the position of the fix icon: one configuration displays
the fix icon on the 20% central area of the Moving Map and the other on the exact center of the
screen.
The Menu key
‘MENU’: selects the Moving Map Menu.
‘MENU’: press & hold for 1 seconds: opens the Map Presentation Menu
The menu enables the user to select between generic representation mode, three TAWS modes
(auto, low sep and high sep) and two Weather modes (North America only)
2.2 TURNING THE GEOPILOT II ON/OFF
Before powering On the Geopilot II, check for the correct voltage (10-35 Volt DC).
2.2.1 Turning On
Press and hold ‘NEAR’ for 1 second. The Geopilot II emits one rapid beep sound and a Title page
containing information about the Product name, Software version, library version and cartridges
installed is displayed. This data can also be viewed in the “About” page in the “Main Menu”.
Fig. 2.2.1 - Title page
After a few seconds the Warning page is displayed, reminding you that the Geopilot II is an aid to
navigation and should be used with appropriate prudence. The electronic charts are not intended
to substitute for the official charts. Press ‘ENT’ to open the Moving Map screen.
2.2.2 Turning Off
‘NEAR’ 3 sec.: a countdown timer appears on the screen, if you release the key before the
countdown timer reaches zero, the Geopilot II will remain On.
2.3 CHANGING BRIGHTNESS & CONTRAST
Press and hold 1 sec ‘NEAR’ to adjust the brightness and the contrast of the display and keyboard
(do not press and hold the key or the “power-off ” message will be displayed!).
To increase/decrease the brightness use respectively up/down cursor key. Similarly, to increase/
decrease the contrast use left/right cursor key. In addition the Time and the GPS State are shown.
2.4 SELECTING THE LANGUAGE
It is possible to select the language in which the information is displayed (for screen labels, menus
and options, but it does not affect the map information). The default setting is English.
> ‘MENU’ 1 sec. + “SYSTEM SETUP” + ‘ENT’ + “GENERAL SETUP” + ‘ENT’ +
“LANGUAGE” + ‘ENT
20
Choose the language you want and press ‘ENT’ again to confirm.
2.5 EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS
2.5.1 Down Or Up-load Flight Plans & Tracks
