Hello all,
I am looking at buying a GPS CF Compactflash Compact Flash Receiver for use with my Laptop/PDA, and I am wondering if anyone knows whether I can run this receiver with Oziexplorer software and moving maps?
Cheers

Glen - Yes you can - best option IMHO - I run Ipaq 2210 + CF GPS + OziExplorerCE - works a treat.
Cheers

Glenn,
I also run the IPAQ H2210 and the CF card. It works
well with Ozi.

Another happy IPAQ 2210 + CF GPS user here. Remember to ALWAYS use screen protectors with the IPAQs. Get the Natmaps CDs and/or go to www.maptrax.com.au and you're good to go.
Cheers

Glenn, I've got an ipaq 2210, and a hp nx9000 laptop. I run Ozi on both the Laptop and the PDA. I bought a "Haicom" brand compact flash GPS from Johnny appleseed in
St kilda. About $230 from memory. Plugs staight into the top of the PDA and all maps are stored on a 1 Gig SD card. Currently have Vicroads, Melways and most of Vic 1:25,000 series, Aust Natmap 1:250,000. ( uses about 600Meg OZF format.)
For the Laptop, I've got a PCMCIA to CF adapter card, GPS slots into side of Laptop, then an Extention lead to an external GPS antenna mounted on the top of the
snorkel. Also run Co-pilot live laptop 7 on the laptop. Runs on a 7 " touchscreen in the Cruiser.
All works
well, but be careful with the PDA choice, Guy at work bought a hP ipaq 4150, only has SD slot - no CF slot. He bought a SD slot GPS - but where is he gunna store his maps?
East set up, the gPS comes with a mini CD for set up, called GPS info, Just laod software, choose Com ports in the setup, choose Generic GPS NMEA output in Ozi, and away you go...
Welcome to look at the set up if you in Melb area and cant make up your mind....
Jarrod.
