SD card size for digital maps

Thanks wayne,

so should i transfer the maps to the sd card when it is in the pda or do it from my laptop and then put it into the pda......not sure which way is the easiest and most reliable???

I find it quicker and more user friendly to load maps onto the SD card from my laptop/PC.

Thanks pat,

will sit down and work out how to do it,

Do I have to change anything in Oziexplorer (PDA) to get it to link with the sd card????

I think the maps need to be in .ecw format. I have Ozi on the main memory of my Navman PiN and just use the SD card for the maps. As long as Ozi knows the right file path to find the maps it should all be fine. I keep a back up copy of the maps on the laptop so if the card gets corrupted or lost (hasn't happened yet) I can easily load up another card if needed. I keep a separte card with Tom Tom and the appropriate maps for that when street navigating.

edit above pst, Should be .ozf2 format for the maps.

Hello - OziCE can use OZF2, OZF3 or ECW format maps. Also just so you know the current version of the OZF conversion program and Mapmerge create OZF3 files. I think Hema maps are supplied in ECW and OZF. Depending on the age of your map CD I am guessing they could be either OZF2 or OZF3.

Both my sets of maps are the same as they are on the CD's. I have had these for a few years now and they work just fine the way they are.

You just need to make sure that your Oziecplorer CE is up to date and that you set up the configuration to look at the SD card in the program.

Its pretty easy really.
