Gday,
I have marked some tracks on google earth, saved them onto my PC as KML files and can open them on Oziexplorer on my PC no worries.
The trouble Im having is I cant get them to load on my PDA using Ozi CE.
Does CE not recognise KML files ? Or am I doing something horribly wrong?
All I have done is copy the KML files on to the SD card in a folder where my maps are stored. If I go "File", "Track log"', "Import track tail from file", go ito the folder that holds the KML files, it shows that they arent there?
Any ideas?

Cheers
Hairy

Hi - OziCe doesnt recognise kml files. Once open in OziPC just save the KML files as OE format track (*.plt) or waypoint (*.wpt) (depending if they are waypoints or tracks).

Cheers

I sent one final shout after him to stick to the track, to which he replied “All right,” That was the last ever seen of Gibson - E Giles 23 April 1874

PS - you may be better off loading track files using the track toolbar

View - Toolbars - Track Toolbar - click on fifth icon across - Track box opens - select track number (1 to 5) - click Load - select track to load. This will load entire track you select. Using the method you describe (Load track tail) only loads a max of 999 points which may or may not be the entire track.

Geez GregF,
Did you write all that in one day?
I reckon you would be having headaches, dizzy spells and nose bleeds after stringing two whole words together? You should have thrown in a full stop dropped a couple of capitals and you could call it your first sentence......

ROTFLMAO
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
