Ozi Explorer Expert Needed

Neil, you have to turn off 'search for more detailed maps'. It's the icon at the top right of the screen with a map and a small + sign. It's also an option under configuration, moving maps.
Glen.

MM is looking for a more detailed map after a certain interval (this can be set in the "configuration" settings) and will check either the current directory/sub-directory or just the one folder, depending on your settings.

In the moving map control box, there are 2 buttons that you should play with....

- "Check for more detailed map" (4th button, top left). I take it this is checked and the Landsat is a higher resolution (less metres per pixel) than the 250k. Deselecting this will stop the swapping of maps.

- "Moving Map looks for maps in only the current folder of the currently loaded map" (5th button, top left). Does what is says :-) Make sure this box is depressed to only check the 250k files. Depending where/how your file structure is arranged, it may help by moving the files into seperate sections.

Folr more info, push the "?" in any area to access the help file, which is an excellent source of information.......

Hi All, seeing as we're talking about OziExplorer (ahem!). I have a loaded a waypoint file with the location of speed cameras for the east coast and I'm trying to upload these into my garmin etrex legend with little success (Grrrr!). The Garmin can store up to 500 waypoints, but they're not coming in. Ozi goes through the motions of uploading (fine) but they don't appear. I can load them 1 by 1 but as it does, it deletes 1 and displays the other (and so on). It's driving me bonkers!!!! I don't have a lappy, just the garmin. Any help would be appreciated :o) Andrew.

I had the same problem.

Ozi looks for *.map files which tells it which maps you have set up. I wanted to use both the Natmap raster DVD and the UBD City Streets maps and turning off "Check for More Detailed Map" would mean not changing to the city maps when I approach Adelaide.

The .map files are stored by default in :

C:\Program Files\OziExplorer\Maps

You can either delete the .map file for the maps you don't wish Ozi to look for, or simply rename them with a different extension so that you can use them again if you want to at some future time.

I simply deleted the landsat .map file and all the other 250k files to stop it asking to change disks all the time.

Hope this helps

Pete
