Well I finally got Oziexplorer to work, sort of. Exported from Natmap raster viewer import into Ozi and calibrate. Set up waypoints and track, giess what, my track is slightly off that shown on the map. Check calibration...OK. Check datums OK. Check coordinates, Ok. Hmm. Now I should of got a copy of Desert Tracks CD as I have the paper ones, but I didn't want to splurge for something I could set up myself....or so I thought. Map calibrated using Desert maps GPS points.
Geez there's a lot of fiddling to get this right. Time better spent on vehicle maintainance and loading etc before the trip.
Moral for a newbie is to have lots of time up your sleeve before getting this stuff set up.
