A question for OziExplores experts, help please.

In the toolbar, (in the box for next left, right, up, down I think) is a little x box that toggles between search only current directory and search all directories.cheers

Under configuration - Moving map What time interval is set for check interval? May be too large.

The option is for more detailed map so will only change if the meters/pixel value is higher. Check this value for the loaded map with the info button on the toolbar. Or do a right mouse click - find map at cursor and look at the pixel scale in the popup table, smaller number is more detailed. The map list is more detailed to less detailed.

Also on the customised toolbar, (the one with small buttons) there is a button available to check for more detailed map.
Has a map,magnifying glass and "DETAIL" on it.
If you dont have it click - customise toolbar button. on left of small toolbar and add the button - other Check for more.....

Clicking this button will do an immediate check to see if it works.

In Configuration (Alt +C) select the Moving Map Tab, tick the box in the "Always Check for More Detailed Map" box, and set the time interval to around 30 seconds, this should work.

If you move the mouse arrow over a map of the area covered by your UBD maps and then click the right mouse button you can select "Find maps at cursor"

This will bring up a list of the maps with one of the columns labelled "Pixel Scale"

This is the "Scale" Ozi uses for searching for more detailed maps. If your UBD maps have a smaller pixel scale than the Nat Maps then Ozi should find them when searching for a more detailed map.

If not then the best solution is to put the UBD maps in a folder on their own and then load one of them and click on the little cross as explained above. Then Ozi will only use maps in the folder with the UBD maps.

I have experienced a similar problem - and ONLY with the UBD maps. If you manually load the one you think you should be on, it will stay there, but it just won't load automatically when it should. I emailed support, but didn't get much joy.
I've now given up as I use a VMS-AVNC system which can use OziExplorerCE and this doesn't support the UBD maps at all.

Another option you may want to look at is using an "F" keys. Personally I don't like Ozi automatically going to a more detailed map. So I have that option switched off. What I do is set my F12 keys to Find Map at Moving Map Position. Provided I havent locked Ozi to the current folder, it will bring up a list of maps at my moving map position. You can then just arrow down to the map you want and then press the Enter button. Des changed Ozi a few years back as this option needed you to select maps with your mouse. Being a 4WDer, I dont find using the mouse very friendly, so I asked Des to change it so you can use the arrow & enter buttons.

BTW, if you use this option, make sure you click on the Option tab in the window and click on Auto click window on map open.
