I've been trying to get my head around Oziexplorer since I installed it. It's probably just me but I can't get a couple of features working. I've downloaded the latest upgrade but I'm still having the same problem. I can put comments, features, waypoints, events and manually made tracks on a map and save them ok, but when I reload the map to work on it again the features and comments are still there but the waypoints, tracks and events have gone. Does anybody have any idea whats going on/

What you describe is normal.
If you want these features to remain on the map every time you load it, go to
File > Check Calibration of map
Then on the right, click on on "options" and then "attach files to map"
I use this feature to attach tracks to maps, so I can then follow a previous track file, but I expect you can keep waypoints on there as
well.

Hi Phil ,
At the risk of asking stupid questions , if you go "attach files to map " how do you reverse this situation and clear the waypoints etc from the map ?
If while you have the map open with those permanently shown details on it and you add a new waypoint , do you just go in and hit "attach files to map" and it updates the old file ?
I used to use this method but now find it easier to load waypoint files each time I use the map .
Thanks ,
Willie .

Gday Willie,
I do the same as you. I prefer to just load waypoints from file as needed. But I often attach track files.
I reckon the only way you can modify an attached waypoint file would be to open it separately, modify it, and then save again.
I prefer to keep it simple with Oziexplorer. I love using moving maps, I like checking the different maps for marked features, and I use the above method to follow someone else's or my previous tracks. It is a great program though.
Cheers
phil

G'day Explorer Greg,
if you are a Giles fan, maybe I could send you a happy snap of Circus
Water if you send me an email addy. I took it about 4 weeks ago - it had a filthy green liquid in it that I took to be
water!
cheers

Willie,
when you were over here (WA) recently did you go to Ularring Rock (also called Ularring Soak) north of
Coolgardie?
It's in
Places on EO.
Giles built a cairn of stones there and had a bit of a blue with the locals apparently.
It's a big
granite outcrop. Great overnight stop. It's even got some
toilets there now. Progress eh?

Hi again Mr Bush ,
I know it sounds a bit odd , but I have been to WA each of the last five years - two times twice in a year BUT , when I am on a
camping / driving trip I have always got to
Norseman and turned North . My interest has always been in the deserts , The
Pilbara and The
Kimberley .
So no , I have never seen Ularring Rock , but I will drop in if I ever get near there now that you have mentioned it .
I would love to get into the Rawlinson Ranges for a look around . I heard that last year a tour company was granted day access ( with a local guide ) to some of the spots on the south of the Ranges .
Regards ,
Willie .

If you look up in the right hand corner of your screen, you will see icons for Map, Waypoint, Event, Track & Route. When you add a Waypoint, Route, Track, Event, Comment or a Map Feature you will see these icons change from black to red. By clicking on the red icon, you will get a pop up window to save the relevant data. All Event, Comments & Map Features are saved with the actual map file (.map) you are viewing at that time.
If you load another map, this items will not be seen. However, events, waypoints, tracks &
routes will be viewable on all maps.
Project Manager helps you automate loading any of the above quickly.
