I have set a location using a map, and inserted said location into model space. When I go to capture the image, I get a fatal error and the system crashes, does anyone know why or a better way to do this?

What program are you actually using?How are you "capturing" the image?

autocad civil 3d 2015set my geolocation then try to capture the image. 

I've no experience with Civil3D or geolocations so I will be unable to help you.  Sorry.
