The Explorer
Hello - this program may be of interest to owners of Tom Toms who want more versatilty out of their unit
ttMaps
Havent gone into in any detail as I dont have a Tom Tom but looks like a similar concept to OziExplorerCe.
Requires ecw format maps - I assume Natmap 250K will work for starters.
Cheers
Greg

This is an amazing bit of software - a lot of the functionality of OziCE that will run on a TomTom !
Here's some good news for Aussies "Georeferencing a file already calibrated for OziExplorer - There are lots of maps for OziExplorer. Thus, we are going to show step by step, on three practical examples, how to convert your maps to ECW format. "
I can't see myself using it though - it'll be a lot of work to get it running and to convert the maps. My TomTom has no SD card so I risk crashing the TomTom.
Ever since OziCE allowed me to design the display pages EXACTLY as I want them I'm in GPS heaven - e.g. simultaneous display of my postion in Lat Long and
Grid Co-ordinates.
I'll use the PDA to run OziExplorer and the TomTom to run road navigation software.
