Oziexplorer on a PDA

Anne, I am assuming you have the file you want to convert on your PC. If so, open Image to Ozf and select the folder on the PC that has the maps in it in the "Source Image Folder" bit of the program. You also neeed to specify where you want the output (or ozf2 file) to go. You go find the map you want in the map names box and click the tick beside it, or them, and then click on "Process Image file to OZF2 files" and wait. Once its done you can copy the files to the PDA in Windows explorer. You also need to set up OziExplorerCE to know where to look for the maps. Its easy.

Anne , unless you have large storage capacity on your PDA you will have to resize the zoom & color levels on the maps other the file size is huge compared to original. I used 50% zoom & 16 color to fit Natmap cd's onto a 1gig expansion card + 256meg onboard card with 65meg to spare. It also takes age's to convert them

Anne - if you havent already read the help file that comes with OziCE - it has an entire section on converting the maps to OZF format. Some additional info and the actual program for conversion is here

Anne - sorry the Help file I am referring to is not the one that is installed on your PDA with the program but the one available from here..

Just downloaded OziExplorer the other day. Does anyone know a website that I can download map info from ?

Ive Just put a Navman GPS sleeve on my Ipaq 3630 with a 512MB CF Card for the maps. Installed OziExplorerCE and have copied the Hemma GDT maps straight across as they are already ozf2 format. Also copied LPI topo maps across but they needed converting to ozf2 format. If you are using the maps with a GPS you also need to have the files with the .map extension as this holds the calibration information the GPS needs to work with.
