I had this happen back in the early days, I have HP PDA's and my first one would have a memory problem when changing over maps, I had to down scale them.
this info is off OziExplorer web site, I think most digital maps are coming out in ECW so all formats can read them..

Important information about OziExplorerCE Maps
Just like PC OziExplorer, two files are required to use a map in OziExplorerCE, the map image and the .map file. Both files must be copied to the maps folder on the PDA.
Maps come in various formats. You may need to convert your maps so they can be used in OziExplorerCE. See the list below for how to use your maps in OziExplorerCE -
Map Image formats that OziExplorerCE can use are -
OziExplorer formats (ozf2, ozfx3)
ECW format (only on PDA's with ARM cpu's)
The image formats jpg, png and bmp are also supported but are fully loaded into memory so the images must be small and only 8bit and 24bit color formats are supported. It is highly recommended maps in jpg, png and bmp format are converted to OZFx3 using the Img2Ozf conversion software.
Maps that can be converted to ozfx3 format for use in OziExplorerCE are -
BMP, PNG, TIF, JPG, GIF, MrSID, ECW
Mapping formats BSB, BSB 4, BSB 5, Maptech HDR and RML
Kompass maps
To convert the above maps, use the "Img2Ozf" program which can be downloaded from this web site. More information about Img2Ozf.
