EoTopo offline maps and Places

Hi

Could be too many places to plot - Ozi has 10,000 waypoint limit, but I don't have EOTopo so not sure.

None the less...The name search file (the *.names file) is in reality a *.dbf file that can be opened in excel (or similar)...you can then create a text file (*.csv) using names and coordinates for import as waypoints into Ozi. If there are more than 10,000 suppose you could break it up into states ..or something.

This sounds difficult but it's actually "easy" though if you have no knowledge of excel etc suppose its tough..don't have time to explain process..see how you go.

Ozi website has instructions and a small utility for creating name search files

name search utility

..unfortunately no instructions on reverse process (but as I said it is easy).

Cheers

PS Aren't all the places plotted on the map anyway?

Hi Andi,

You can have them all marked up on the Ozi PC version easily enough.
Just select the plot location icon and tick "on map".



You can save these points then, though as the maps are fairly large you will have quite a few points. An option is to select a map in area of interest that is of a smaller scale first to reduce number of points.

This option not available in Android version.

Cheers
Alan
