Hello,
I was just given one of those 7" GPS units with iGo running win ce5 and can't seem to find how to install Oziexplorer CE on it? I have installed it on other windows pdas/phones but this one isn't recognized by the computer. I thought that it was possible, has anyone else done it? There doesn't seem to be access to the win ce anywhere on the menus.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike
If it has an SD card, copy the correct version of OziCE into a folder on the SD card. Depending on the GPS some do not read cards greater than 4gig i.e. SDHC cards.
There should be a setup menu somewhere on you GPS. Chances are it says "GPS setup". Like Windoze Explorer you should be able to navigate your way to find the ozice.exe file and set it to run when you select the GPS function.
Often the SD card also has iGo on it as
well. Some folk use two SD cards and rename folders and files to iGo. This makes swapping between iGo and OziCE easier...just swap the cards and you don't need to change the setup.
Good Luck.
Brad

can you post a picture of your unit with the welcome screen - if its the same as
mine (the older version of this:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/7-HD-GPS-CAR-NAVIGATION-SYSTEM-REVERSING-CAMERA-4GB-SD_W0QQitemZ320433605161QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item4a9b54ca29) then you need wince_core_runtime_arm.zip from ozice website (pnd use arm processors) copy it to the card, then on the gps press settings and under navigation change the directory to pick win ce on the card. Bear with it, as these are a good unit with a very good gps chip. I also installed the OziCe Screen Designer on the
home computer and completly rebuilt the interface to my likings - I think its brillant. I can't exactly recall but think you have to generate a 800*480 screen for it as this odd size doesn't come with ozice. My only dislike is the screen can't be read in direct sunlight although the HK importer claims the new version doesn't have this problem.
