Does Oziexplorer CE open on a laptop or desktop computer ?

Have a look on here

I put oziexplorer ce on my dash unit by putting the SD card from the dash unit into the card reader on my laptop (connected to internet) and then downloaded the file onto SD card through the laptop and then put the SD card back into the dash unit.

I imagine any upgrade file for CE would be able to be transferred the same way.

MichaelW14, Just in case this might be of any help, often people percieve a problem to be with their CE device when there may be some simple solutions to fix the problem of poor operation.
Ozi CE is a very stripped down version of the pc one, and has much less capability and often the "chip" in the device is limited. As well as the already mentioned option of refining your device screen with simplified or personalised screen skins using the free screen designer try something like these options to ease the "workload" on your CE device:
1. If you hold a lot of maps in your map folder, try and cull them down to those most relevant to your area of travel, and add and remove as you go.Lots of maps = lots of memory use sometimes.
2. Try and use maps converted to the latest oziexplorer file formats. As an example, the latest hema maps in ofx4 format are much smaller files than older versions in ecw format and are handled much more easily on CE devices.
I initially moved to android after losing faith in my old CE device, very happy with the android system by the way , but I noticed a marked improvement in performance of the old CE device after making the above changes. Might be a cheaper option, if you already have the ce device, to upgrade or convert your maps and then check it out. If you are going to migrate to android you will need to convert older maps anyway to get the best performance.
