Oziexplorer error??

Hi all, here's one for all the Oziexplorer experts - I have both the Auslig 1:250k maps as well as the S.A. 1:50k maps on my laptop. Using moving map while on the move, the pointer always points nicely to the track/road, irrespective of which map set I run - in other words, it always appears accurate. However, if I plot a route prior to a trip using the 250k maps and then load it up on the 50k maps, it is out by around 200 - 300 metres. Conversely, if I plot the route on the 50k maps and then load the route on the 250k's, once again it is out. Now before you tell me to check the datum - if I check the datums (maps and GPS) one more time, I'll go spare! I suspect that Oxiexplorer somehow does not convert between the respective map datums like it says it does (the two map sets do use different datums) but I'm really not sure. I just seems odd that in moving map, the GPS plots accurately on either map set but manually plotted waypoints on one map set are always out when displayed on the other. Any suggestions or advice is gratefully accepted.

Cheers
Gerry
