Natmaps/Oziexplorer

Ian,

Assuming you are using the default folder structure where maps are stored in Ozi's "maps" folder, first create a suitable subfolder (say "250k" or "100k" or ...) within Ozi's Maps folder. Then copy the big .ecw file into it.

Open Ozi and use File|Import Map|ECW maps to import the file. This will open a window where you define the source folder (your newly created one containing the .ecw file) and destination (that same folder). Ozi will then create a .map file which is it's way of calibrating and defining the location of the natmap ecw image.

Cheers

John

Thanks for your help John

As a matter of interest are using Windows 7 .If so I was informed by Geoscience that natmap 2008 digital maps and OziExplorer are difficult to use together. We tried using the links provided by Ozi @ Geoscience and gave up in the finish as we are not computer savvy but then again the melbourne map shop we bought the Natmap discs from were not much help either
