New Hema Navigator-GPS

Thanks Alan,
Yep thats the trouble all the screens are to small especially with the topo maps. Need someone to come up with that larger screen and they will be on a winner.
Thanks for your feedback

"Same thing with a 7 or 10 inch screen"

Then it would be almost worth the price.

latest version of ozi is 2.19
read history of changes before uploading new version

Paul,

That's weird mate, something is not right here.

I only downloaded and installed CE last Wednesday.

The OziExplorer Site states:-
"Download
OziExplorerCE Version 2.19 - If you are upgrading from a previous version please read "History of Changes" for important information about version 2.14

There's a typo here me thinks.

Definitely shows version 2.14 when I select Help - About

Bill.

Mine from earlier last week shows 2.15. Currently downloading 2.19.

Newsflash!!!

Downloaded and installed again and now I have 2.19.

Thanks Paul.

Wow, there must have been two or three different versions available within the last few days.

Bill.

Bill Hi

I have down loaded it (the latest) and can't seem to get it to run on my iPAQ 2200.

dumb question do I have to un install the older version? as when i install the newer version it makes a new file.

Regards

Richard

Hello Richard - latest version doesnt overwrite some older versions (depends how far back you wish to go). After install look in Programs page - shows up as OziExplorer 2 on mine (Mobilemapper 6).

Cheers
Greg

Thanks Greg

I will try it tomorrow when I tried it it looked the same and still had the old version number on it , I'm a bit frighten to uninstall the older version.. is it worth it?

Cheers

Richard

There is nothing wrong with older version - obviously does what you want. The latest version (Version 2.*) does however have a heap of new features some of which you may find useful.

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.
(Number of Parameters - 32 per page to a maximum of 300 (total on all pages)
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.


Other good thing as that you can customise the layout of the pages to contain info you want displayed and the function of the buttons on the PDA using the screen designer program that can also be downloaded.

Cheers
Greg

Thanks Greg.

E-mail Des last night and now can get it to work, it looks good, it will give me something to waste my day no learning how to use it.

Regards

Richard

Hey Bill
Have you played with the Sceen Designer yet ?? You can do all sorts of tricks with that !!

No, not yet mate.

Have downloaded it but haven't installed it on the PC yet.

I want to become familiar with the new version fully, before I go to the "Gathering" in a few short weeks.

Cheers,
Bill.

Paul if you add the cost for all the Hema Maps that are installed on the unit you'll find the ripoff isnt that bad

Bonz the Mio C520 price includes the street level mapping for all of Australia. The 58 topographic maps can be downloaded free from Geoscience. So the other $100 tossed in for maps is generous.

The HEMA maps are available free from Geoscience? Wow whats the url please?

Bonz,

I believe it's the 250k topo and Hema bundle - approx $149 retail

Thanx Al, I couldnt find anything free offline at geoscience.com.au

Bonz

These are the older series Nat Maps

Geoscience Australia's Free Data Downloads

Cheers

Hi Paul

Could I put OE on this GPS
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330244312907&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:AU:1123

Thanks

No idea. Only know about the Mio C520
Ask the seller if he knows if the unit he is selling is using WindowsCE Core and if Ozi will run on that GPS.
