OziExplorerCe
Development Version 2.00 (December 2007)
Changes
There have been numerous changes, below is a list of just some of the major ones.
Multi page support with screens that can be designed by the user using a program which runs on a PC.
More than 50 new parameters have been added.
Profiles for altitude and speed.
If the Communication Port is set to "Auto" it will search all serial ports at all baud rates for a GPS which is outputting NMEA.
Compass for navigation to next waypoint.
3 Odometers are available for measuring distance.
Sounds good
Cheers
Greg

Greg Hi
Is this something you update your old CE version or something that run standalone?
I down loaded something like this one other time but got to frighten too install it.
and whyle I,ve got you I have OziExplorer on my NavNet system, when I try and load track file, onto it the whole track will not load ie. planed trip Anne Beadell hwy on the track will only go for 1 th the way?
it's ok on the home PC only NavNet seems to give a problem, it's like it's a point problem as CE has the same problem..
Regards
Richard Kovac

Hello - the new version loads into a separate directory and therefore doesn't interfere with older version - i.e. you can have a play. I am however currently having an issue with it not recognising serial code - keeps plastering 'demo version' on my maps despite entering correct code?? Maybe problem my end?
With respect to you second question - OziCe will only display maximum of 1000 track points, PC version has no limitation from memory ...not sure about navnet (never actually heard of it).
Cheers
Greg

mine seems ok, though i did get a new serial code (read: payed up again) for OziCE about 3 weeks ago. Maybe it has changed recently? I haven't been able to check if my old one and this new rego code is the same.....

Thanks for the advice Greg. I haven't had the problems you describe, the program recognised the name and Device ID so it was registered ok. I did a couple of installs though.

Wow, i have finally seen what a development version of OziCE looks like in my lifetime :-) Now we need to wait another couple of years for Ozi3D to become non-beta.....
Andrew
(all tongue in cheek of course)

Got my new reg code and all is sweet - new pages and customisation features are a great boon. Got in trouble for playing with it in bed last night (the PDA/OziCe that is:)
Cheers

As one would have anticipated ..a new version of the new version now avialable ...with a few bug fixes ...
Development Version 2.01 (December 2007)
Changes
For Pocket PC's, full screen mode now works on all pages which have a map on the page.
Screen Control now works on all pages except the options and satellite view pages.
If a page file is loaded which is meant for a PDA with a smaller screen, any map windows on the page are expanded until the parameters fill the available area. If there is no map window on the page the parameters are centered on the screen. While this does help the best option still is to design a set of pages to suit the screen size of your PDA using the Settings Manager. This only works with page files created with Version 2.01 of the Settings Manager, if you load them into the Settings Manager and resave they will be ok.
When put into full screen mode (Pocket PC's only) or the Main Toolbar is turned off the pages are also resized if there is a map window on the page.
The OziExplorer.key1 file has been fixed and now contains button defaults for the screen control.
This was in the previous version and wasn't mentioned - the number of loaded waypoints has been increased to 2000 and you can keep loading waypoint files until the limit is reached.
Changes have also been made to the Settings Manager and a new version is available for download.
Many other smaller issues have been fixed.
Cheers
Greg
