Hi
You will have to purchase the full version of OzieExplorer to work correctly. One you have used it, it is the best thing since sliced bread when travelling and if you are in real remote situations, is a real must. When I travel with my group, as leader, I rely in it heavily, and even take a back up laptop as back up. Mind you we do travel to some very remote locations.

Cheers

Stephen

If you are not sure if it is what you want, you can download a trial copy to try out.

Friend ran a trial copy for a while :o0

The full version though is worth the money.

Don't forget to have a look at TrackRanger as well. It doesn't have the degree of features that Ozi does but that makes it easier to use and it's a great navigation program (I have both).

Cheers

get them from ebay ( HK) mine is solar powered -- so i never have to charge it -- just use velcro and attach to your dash board ... and racks about 20 satellites at a time ...

never had any issue - usb one are hard to find and a pain as its another cord that you have to plug into your computer --- if you have bluetooth on your computer then get a bluetooth receiver -- if not -- get a dongle ...
