Re: Magellan explorist XL funktion...

As far as i know, old eXplorist devices can understand vector maps only. Raster maps are not supported. Moreover, this device contain an old slow CPU and modern detailed vector maps (i.e. from maps4me.net) will be rendered too slowly. By the way, you must convert this maps using MMOconverter softwar...

Re: Sind die Speicherkarten des 1215 im 1200 verwendbar?

Hi. Several months ago I got a copy of old map of France from Roadmate 1200. And I successfully added a relief data into it and make this map work in eXplorist 610 device. Please, send me a copy of all files from SD card. You can use Dropbox or other file sharing service. Just put your files in Drop...

There is a broken navigator with this problem on e-bay. But the seller do not want to send it to Ukraine.

Re: Achtung: Interner Akku eXplorist 110/GC/310

Yep. This is for SD card slot. I think, somebody planned to make SDMMC slot, but finally the Magellan refused to make it. I can ask our local "electronic-repair-man" to install SDMMC slot, but unfortunately, there also missed some unknown additional details (resistors, capacitors, etc) to ...

Re: Achtung: Interner Akku eXplorist 110/GC/310

Ok, guys. I performed barbarian experiment. :twisted: I removed AA batteries, unscrewed six screws and removed the back part of navigator's body and touched contacts of internal battery for 10 seconds, performing short-circuit. After that I inserted AA batteries and switched the GPSr on. The navigat...

Re: Open flight maps

The "geo" metadata information inside the GeoTIFF files is incorrect.
The OFM team already know about this problem. But they do not know how to find the mistake. :-(
They use GDAL for GeoTIFF conversion. May be something wrong with GDAL config files.

Re: Achtung: Interner Akku eXplorist 110/GC/310

Today I inserted AA batteries in my 310 and switched the unit on. And I see correct time at internal clock.
So, six days is too short time period to discharge the internal battery.
I removed AA batteries and will wait some days again.

Re: Achtung: Interner Akku eXplorist 110/GC/310

Nice joke, Karli :) But I have another idea. My eXplorist 310 is switched on now. And internal clock show correct time. I will remove AA batteries and I will wait some days. In some days the internal battery will be probably discharged. After that I shall put AA batteries into the navigator again an...

Re: Achtung: Interner Akku eXplorist 110/GC/310

OK. I have got an eXplorist 310, inserted a couple of AA batteries into it and get it to find a satellites. After the GPS device got a satellite "fix", I switched it off and removed the batteries. And the navigator was unpowered during one night. The navigator was placed in my house and co...

Re: SAS.Planet - raster online map downloading and convertin

Note : Please, do not make very big maps. I mean "big piece of territory at detailed zoom levels". Because 1) downloading big amount of tiles will couse tile-server overload. And a hoster fo tile-server may deny access or even stop it's service 2) you will get a very big files and it will...

Re: Achtung: Interner Akku eXplorist 110/GC/310

Note that batteries may discharged and leak inside a GPS device if it stored for very long time, and metal contacts in battery compartment may corrode.
By the way, the JungleGhost (who are a the source of this info) propose the service for replacement for corroded contacts. ;)

Re: Achtung: Interner Akku eXplorist 110/GC/310

It is not so easy. That specialist is busy, and I can not make this experiment by myself. But I can tell about the same case with automobile navigator. There was a GPS with bad Li-Ion internal battery. This battery swelled and I had to remove it at all. The navigator still be able to work with exter...

Re: Achtung: Interner Akku eXplorist 110/GC/310

I have some information about this problem (from a local specialist). 1) There is only one memory chip (MLC flash by Samsung, 2GB) inside. No additional EEPROM. 2) Flash chips do not need an electrical power to store an information, but only for writing and reading procedures. 3) The true reason of ...
