G'day Mr Bitchi, The Explorer & Joe
On my particular generic Chinese unit, I have a dedicated icon called 'Navipath', which tells you like you said it. The last part reads "igo8\igo8.exe".. I understand from what you said, that this needs to be changed to oziexplorerce\oziexplorerce.exe
This sounds very reasonable! Even makes sense to me ...... but how do you physically get into it to do it?
Joe,
I read on the Ozi site, then had a look around the www. .... Natmaps .ecw files, & .map files need to be converted to ozfx3 files. I think someone mentioned this earlier, maybe even me!, but as some others on the www were saying, this takes a lot of time, and I mean a considerable number of hrs. I started doing Natmaps dvd1 off my hard drive, not the disc (would be too slow), at about midnight last night, watched the numbers spinning round for a while, turned off the monitor,( left the machine running though!), and left it overnight. It was still converting at 7:30 this morning. DVD1 is now complete, and I have started DVD2, I think that will be a bit quicker, but will still take some time. For the time being, I have created a folder on my desktop to use as a destination folder, till I get my new sd card.
Yep, you are gunna run outta room on that sd card, I sorta guessed that from the start, and ordered an 8gb sdhc card for this purpose. Hopefully this will take Ozi ce, Natmaps in Ozfx3 format, and leave me some room for some maps I save.
Converting to OZFX3 is sorta like converting a regular cd to mp3, the file size decreases, but still DVD1 of Natmaps, with a couple of saved maps of
mine, took up 2.3 gb space in the temp folder I created.
Hope this is not too confusing, Dave
P.S. Writing this on my laptop, not game to use my desktop for anything else at the moment, don't wanna slow it down!
