GPS

Hi Jeff,

That depends on how you are prepared to use Ozi.

If you have it running on a laptop and don't mind it living on the passengers seat (or cabin mount) then any NMEA compatible gps will do.

If you want Ozi as a stay at home, on the desk top planning tool, then you need a gps with the capacity to carry all of that data away with you.

I tend to use my set up in the latter arrangement, but usualy have the laptop available if my trip plan goes pair shaped. It's one of the beauties of OziExplorer. It doesn't make any assumptions about how you're set up or how you want to use it. It will still support your GPS and navigation needs.

Yep, fair enough Pluto, as said "Might be a silly question". LOL
PS Hope all is well over there! Don't work too hard!

Hi Jeff
and pluto The plus 11 does all I want it is just a car gps we have
2x e-trex gps for when we stray away from our car. We go prospecting
and drive into the bush, use oziexplorer to see our way and mark our track,
also save points.the plus 11 only has 1024 points memorey the
60c has 10000. I just though that might be better. I swap my waypoints
and tracks and other events to my desk computer when we get back home. Download from the laptop to gps then gps to computer.
It was just an idea I have.
thanks for your say

Brian,

Sounds like we use our systems in similar ways. The 10,000 track points probably isnt as important as how many tracks you can save. I think the 60c can store 20.

Another point to consider. A saved track can only hold 500 points. When saving the active track, the GPS strips what it considers to be the least significant points to be able to store the track into 1/20th of the space.

I use an Etrex Summit which has 2000 points in the active track and 500 in the saved tracks. I have not noticed a significant reduction in the track detail, but the Summit is only stripping up to 3 from every 4 points, not 19 from every 20.

PS Not working too hard yet, Jeff... Maybe next week. ;-)
