Another Ozi Explorer query??

The loaded map may not be WGS84
In the map window set it to "Datum of loaded map"

Sorry---dunno what happened there !!

It certainly sounds like a map datum or projection problem.
Where did you get the maps and how did you create the .MAP files. If you are using scanned maps you have calibrated yourself that is probably the source of the problem.

Ozi reads the info it needs from the .MAP file and if that is incorrect you get the problem you have described. The selection in the "Map" window or at the top of the screen causes Ozi to reproject the map to the selected datum, but if the .MAP file is wrong this will not help as all ozi does is show position using the map to the selected datum/projection.

Not sure that this is a datum issue. Usually the datum error in Australia is around 200 metres because of the difference between new and old datums.

It sounds more like an error in your calibration fie.. If you are using the Natmaps, it is also possible you are using the old .map files.

Try the Ozi Help file

Hiya Guys

Another quick question,I'm trying to load UBD version3 into Oziexplorer but it wont recognise the maps,What maps do you use for just around town ???


Cheers

Something else to try.

Turn on grid lines and see if they line up with the grid on the map - always a good check on calibration

Hello
Hard to diagnose problem without being there and in absence of a tad more detail. Best bet is to name the specific map you are using and an example of a location you are noting as incorrect (i.e. correct co-ords and co-ords you are observing). What name search file are you using and where did you get it?
