What happens when you shut down RB and restart it, do you still have no map?

Do you have a blank map, or is there no map at all?

I'm not running RB at the moment, so working from memory - what happens when you use Map > Open > Default?

OK, so use Map > Load and load one of the other map locations that come with the standard install - or use Map > New and pick a new location.

The list of menu option at the top left of the RB window - it says File Filters Map etc

Left click on Map

Click on Open/Save

Open any of the maps you see listed

When the map opens, zoom out so you can see a wider area and scroll the map to your home area - or click the Home button on the menu bar if you have set your home position.

Zoom in as required.

I've got to  go to work now, so I leave you in the capable hands of the other forum members - somebody with RB running in front of them will be better than me working from memory :-)

If you use Windows Explorer can you go the the Map directory and see if there are any files in there?

Right click on start menu to bring up explorer

Post by: EMA on June 26, 2009, 07:17:21 AM
For some reason I don't think you have any map files in

C\Program Files\AirN
avSystems\AirNavRadarBox2009\Map\

Is this a new install?
Title: Re: No map
Post by: carp777 on June 26, 2009, 07:21:22 AM

you might be better to do a complete uninstall and a full reinstall from the original disc ...unless you were running v3

go to start ..click on control panel and then double click on add or remove software

let it log all the programs then select  radarbox    ...and bob's a close relation of your father ...

but I'm no expert ....see what others say ...

it maybe advisable to make a back up of the varrious important files too  ...think its mentioned in another thread

Back home now.  I'm pleased that the guys here were able to sort you out.  Have a good weekend and don't be afraid to ask questions as you learn about your RadarBox :-)
