Hi
Have a registered copy of ozi and am trying to set up which gps i have. I have a Garmin Quest, i can tick the Garmin box but can't find that model?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Lyndon

In the absence of anything to the contrary, I suggest you contact Ozi and get it from the horse's mouth. I too have a Quest and am interested in your findings. Good luck with it. Link Contact details are at bottom of screen (depending on your screen resolution of course).

Hello - in configuration try using "other Garmins" in the model list and follow screen instructions...assuming you haven't already.

Cheers

Ok, saw that option, just didn't want to stuff it up!
Thought the Quest would be a popular model therefore assumed i may be "doing" it wrong if i couldn't see it on the list.

No idea why its not in the list - they have been out for a while, anyway as far as I can see "other Garmin" is the only (logical) option.
Not sure how you approach the symbol selection process which you will be confronted with - all I can say is have fun

Lyndon,

Agree with Greg. I have a Quest and "Other Garmins' in configuration works for me .

Hi Lyndon

Have you ticked the Garmin USB box on the COM tab in your config file?

Hi Lyndon,

Apologies for taking so long to get back to you.

Under the drop down "File" menu, select "Configuration"

then select the "GPS" tab at the top of the window

then select "Garmin" and "Other Garmin" from the respective drop down lists in the upper left section of the window.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Paul
