Hello

Drivers are here

GPS Aus Forum

Your problem is however not 100% clear - an incomplete zip file will not extract in the first case so based on info you have provided you couldnt have installed and incomplete driver anyway. Have a go with the file in link above and see what happens. If it doesnt work provide a bit more info on issue and we will re-assess issue.

No worries - most common issue is identifying com port that needs to be set in OziExplorer. What error mesage are you getting OziExplorer when you start coms in moving map?
