Hi, i'm a new member and just wanted to say a big thanks for the link to some good Oziexplorer maps, and other programs and INFO, I'm also a member of some other GPS sites and have been looking some time now for these maps so i could try out Oziexplorer for real. I didn't just want to join and grab some stuff and P--.Off.
I've been reading a lot of the forums etc and reckon "Geoff" is a Bloody Good Bloke, smart & helpfull
and that's rare. Thanks again and keep up the good work. We do appreciate it.

I second the motion - "Geoff" is a Bloody Good Bloke, smart & helpfull

In files _Emap-AUS-Ozi__-_Australia_NSW_LPI_2of2__sid_map there are .map and sid files. Do we copy both set of files to the Maps directory of Oziexplorer or only .map files.

Both Files mate.
I think (Only guessing) that the map files are only images, and the sid file links the GPS to the image. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I know the two files go together...

Thanks mate,

I placed both "_Emap-AUS-Ozi__-_Australia_NSW_LPI_2of2 files" .map and .sid into the same "maps" folder.

I now get "image File Not Found or could not be loaded"

I think we need a newer version of Ozi as i tried to load some maps i downloaded from the rapidshare link and i am getting a message that ofz3 maps are not supported, you need to upgrade your version of OziExplorer

OziExlporer site say they are supportted, but i had to use a program from thier site called Img2ozf to redo maps, as OziEplorer on my gps said the jpg file was to big for memory

Hey Guys
First of all, Thanks heaps for this site and all the help you are dishing out, it has been very very helpful to me.
Is there any chance i could ask for a bit more help. I have got an e-bay 7" monitor loaded with R66. This has been a good little unit , but i have bought a in dash double din unit. I thought it would be a good idea to run both unit , one with Igo and the other with Ozi-explorer. I used your downloads and manged to get ozi working on the 7" oufit, with a few problems.
I cant get the Hema maps to work as they dont create a Map file, even when i use the program that converts them to a smaller file. (Img2Ozf) This program did work well for the other maps that were downloaded.
I also cant change the time on the system. Is there a way of getting into the windowsCe directory?
Thanks in advance.
Marty

Hi guys!

1st of all thank you very much for the maps geoff!
However I can't open ecw files, i'm getting error code "ecw dll counld not be found or loaded", I have all dll's in program dir....i've been google for 1h and still nothing...
If you know what to do I would apreciate it ;)

Thanks guys have been looking for a while for some of these, I have most legit. but the extras will be very handy So thanks again.

Besides just joined and need to remove the banner !??

@banjanti,

It may be that your processor is not an ARM processor as that is the major reason that ECW maps won't work. It can also be caused by not enough memory for the particular map. The ECW.DLL file is only required for the PC version of OziExplorer and has no effect under the Win CE operating system.

Cheers, Ian

Anyone had any luck with the Hema maps from this site ??
I have Ozi on a Windows 7 lap top, no problems any maps I have, but can unzip but then do nothing them.
They unzip to a OZF2 file and a "legend" file no "map" files, if I rename the legend file to a map file Ozi locks up ??
I don't know if Ozi is the latest but no more than 6 months old and legit.

DD

Continuing from the above post, have had a look at another Hema map that I have, they come with 2 parts the actual OZF file and a legend file, and normally a 'map' file these are not with the above download.
Oh well guess I will have to try and do them myself now that I have the actual map, but have not had much luck previously with making 'map' files.

DD

I think the legend file is like an index to all the maps and you should be able to be import it into the PC Version of OziExplorer then choose the map you want and export a map file, or so I understand it. Google OziExplorer & Legend and there are several hits with some info.

Cheers, Ian

Thanks Geoff and all others who have contributed to this informative thread. Ozi is a complex but very interesting program. Takes a while to learn, but very good.
