OziExplorerCE

Hi
Could be the calibration of the 250K map is incorrect (or you are not in Australia:) If you have the 250K map open in OziCE and then get a sat fix this is the only reason I can think of that would result in it changing to the world map.

Where did you get the 250K map and associated calibration file from? Are you sure it is calibrated correctly - i.e. have you plotted known waypoints on it or something similar?

Also make sure the 250K map is in a folder you have set up in configuration for the program to look. Under File -> Configuration -> Map and Data files ensure folder contianig the 250K map is listed.

Note that some PNDs/PDAs dont like ECW files in OziCe - it may have a haemorage when gps signal arrives ..not sure ?? Do you have any other maps you can try.

Cheers

Hi Bruce,


Sounds to me more like a problem with your settings for the "load map with more detail" feature. I haven't used Ozi CE in awhile, but remember it having a feature to load the map with most detail for an area. So for some reason your unit thinks the World map has more detail than the 250K. Have a look in the settings for this feature.

As you map only changes when you get the GPS fix, i'd say it's something to do with this.

cheers,

Hi Isuzumu
Maybe 250k map is in a differant folder and OCE doesnt know where to look. Make sure in config. Map data files you have the correct folders ticked. jl

I must state frirom the outset that I have only limited experience with CE but I have learnt this. I had a similar issue in that

CE was reverting to another map even when I had the map loaded that I wished to use.........at that stage the maps were on the SD card in their default file name as they were obtained/purchased and loaded

The map I wanted displayed was natmap at 250K

The map CE kept reverting to was at 100K...This happened sometimes in minutes sometime longer but always eventually happening!.......I did have the load detailed map unticked...but still the device kept defaulting to the first listed on the card (the 100k )

What I discovered was that CE treats the first loaded map on the data base as the default and loads accordingly......what I did was to rename the map files like this.....in the order I chose to list them on the SD card as i wanted

1 250K natmaps
2 100K Kimberley
3 100K Pilbara
4 100K geology (Gregs maps)

In that way the map I wanted as my default was listed first on the SD card and remained stable.......I changed the maps around in different orders and it worked fine whatever was listed as # 1 and so on worked fine

I retained the world map and I might ad that either in ECW or Oz3 formay there was no issues

Hope that helps

Cheers

When I get to load other maps then it will be interesting to see what comes up, thanks again for everyone's help.
