Has anyone had experience with setting up a GPS and moving map software on a laptop. I have a Garmin eMap GPS and am not sure which is the best way to go with the software. Thanks in advance.

Hi Peter I have been using Des Newmans oziexplorer soft ware with my garmin gps 2 with great success
fora few years now . His web site is oziexplorer.com I have checked out and used quiet a few of the
other software on the market and found this one works
well and is simple to use. Good luck

I've been using Oziexplorer 'live' on a laptop for a few years now, works extremely
well especially in remote areas. I've used it for extended outback trips using the Auslig 1/250 maps, plenty of detail for remote areas, even to the stage where my 15 y/o son could call the corners when I was travelling up the
Connie Sue hwy. I use it on a Toshiba 486/70 and either an old Garmin 75 or a 12xl gps. If you have to buy a laptop ensure it has a tft screen for best resolution in sunlight. The best place to buy GPS accessories in Oz is at www.gpsoz.com.au. (not involved with the site but they give good service)

Thanks for your reply Peter. I too am now running OziExplorer with the AUSLIG maps and after a few small hiccups (on my part) things work a treat. I contacted OziExplorers authors with a couple of minor problems and they responded quickly with all the answers. Can't thank them enough. Lets keep buying Australian. Cheers, Peter.
