Hi, my apologies if this question has been raised before & I failed to find it.
I am looking for a GPS device (not PDA/laptop with receiver) on which I can exploit the wonders of OziExplorer:
- navigate custom maps (e.g. geo-referenced raster images)
- load and save waypoints, tracks & routes
I am aware of the following:
- recent OziEx releases allow import/export of Garmin Nuvi gpx files so you can save and load waypoints & tracks with your device.
- some (e.g. Navman) devices run on a WindowsCE core, which you may be able to set to boot into and hence can run the likes of OziexplorerCE.
Can you answer for Garmin Nuvi 710/500/ 205w:
- Is there a way to do the WindowsCE boot option? If so, will OziExplorerCE work and will it work in moving map mode?
- Is there another way to install and run OziExplorerCE on the device?
- Can you import your own maps that you've geo-referenced from raster images, e.g. using Oziexplorer, and navigate using them?
I would appreciate any insight. If there are other Garmin or Tomtom models that can do the above, please let me know.
With thanks
