World.BMP file not in correct format

Post by BensonAviation »

Hoping somebody can shed some light on a strange issue with the map page on an iEFIS.
See the below image. It seems to have lost some sort of reference drawing that I haven't been able to find a copy of under the database downloads. Interestingly there is also a hint of the now missing charts, in the top right corner. Not sure if they'll come back once this World.bmp issue is fixed or not.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

www.mglavionics.co.za/Terrain/G1World.zip

Unzip this to get World.bmp

This file needs to be copied into your internal SSD drive Terrain folder. There is also a function in the install tasks menu to copy the file for you.

This file is a image of the entire World in high resolution - it is used as map background for the low levels of map zoom up to continent wide displays.
