Hi

This should work on Garmin gps.

If you do not have a Garmin consider to buy an app called battletac. It will do the same, but on your smartphone.

copy the file to //battletac/maps, and select it under offline maps on your device.

Its very usefull to find where you and your teammates are.

http://battletac.com/

Preview the map by downloading the .kmz file and start it with google earth.

Battletac is a mobile app that is used to track your own players and see where you are. You can create so-called POI (Point of Intrest ) and share with your team. Spawn etc.

The app can be downloaded free for Android and iPhone, Battletac lite. You must have the full version to
use .kmz maps


Quik Start.
a) Click Menu > Settings > your account > login (registration required )
b) Click menu> settings > select channel (same as your team and a security code you agree on ) ( For testing, just create one )
c) Click Map and Battletac is ready for use.

POI function : (see picture)
a) Move the map so that the point you want to mark is located in the middle of the screen ( 1).
b) Click on the POI icon ( 2 ) > Share POI
c) Select the type, description and duration. > Save .
d) Click ( 3) to center the map .
You can set a destination or sending a unit to a place in the same way .

Click on a POI or a unit and you will get more information about it.
Click ( 4 ) and you can change your status.

Tip :
Click Menu > Help, and read the explanation of the features.
Click Menu > Settings and read " what's this? " on each of the selections.

It happened to a couple PMCs on B12, it was f*cling beautiful :D

A NOTE FOR EVERYONE USING THIS: Positions of units and related information is in-game intel, even if it's on your phone.

No Vinnie, it was not f*cking beautiful. :twisted:
It was a certain Greek officer who sent that poor bloke with all the Intel by himself without an escort.

Either electronic or papermap you should never mark important locations on it. Use codes for important locations.
