Dig Options OFF Road maps

Hello

OziExplorer3D if for PC's only - wont work on an in car unit (unless it happens to be running MSWindows). The software required is probably OziexplorerCE.

Also note the software is just software - its doesnt come with any maps - you have to source them elsewhere e.g. EOTopo.

Cheers

IS it a new unit, from what I read the current ones have a dual operating system windows and android?

Also it shows on their Ebay adds that at least the prado model comes with off road maps?

As above you can get oziexplorer for windows CE and Android but if it comes with off road maps I would assume that would be oziexplorer?

Hi Geoff,

Letting people know which particular DIG Options unit you purchased would help for a start, can check what came in the box.

Going to their website and looking at one of their units it would appear DIG Options pre-install Ozi Explorer onto the system and offer, via download, 2GB of BONUS Australia-wide Topographical (Toppo) Off-Road Map Data to get you going.

To quote the website "The FREE Off Road Map Data includes over 500 extensive Maps of Outback Australia. Please note that this is via DOWNLOAD. Please contact us." I'd start there for getting the offroad maps for your unit when using Ozi Explorer.

Regarding the Ozi Explorer software, you will need to start the demo version in the DIG Options media unit and there should be an option to enter the user ID and password you received from Ozi Explorer to activate the full version. It will only have the World map in the 'map' folder. To access the downloaded topo maps mentioned above you will need to copy the files to the SD card provided with the media unit into the 'Map' folder under the Ozi software file folder. You do this via the computer with the SD card inserted into a USB port via an adaptor or, if you computer has a SD reader, use this port.

Once the topo maps are copied into the 'Map' folder on the SD card and the card is reinserted into the media unit, run Ozi again, go to the Maps tab and look for 'index maps' and run the process. May take a little while. This should then let Ozi find the topo maps and then allow the software to use these maps as the offroad maps when running Ozi.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Hi Geoff,

I have a Digoptions Android unit running Oziexplorer. Contact me if you need a hand setting up. Oziexplorer app is installed on the internal sd and maps, waypoints etc. on the external.
