Is there some secret way to print a page from Ozi? Have had this problem for a long time (keep forgetting to ask the question) It all comes up with the print format and then just keeps looking, have tried all the normal ways with the printer.

Hi Bruce,
We have had our little differences re Isuzu vs Colorado build in the past but this is a different issue.
From my experience, the print function from Oziexplorer is very average indeed.
I don't have the problem you are experiencing, but the map printout I get is pretty ordinary.
I have left the default page as is, except for the following in the Print option window:-
Window - Fit to page (highlighted)
The result I get is an accurate printout of the map and anything loaded, such as tracks, waypoints, etc. but the resulting print is only a bit over 1/2 page, regardless of whether I have selected Portrait or Landscape mode.
I haven't done anything else and I have changed printers a couple of times over the years, so it is not the printer.
Perhaps you could send an email to Des at OziExplorer with your exact problem.
They are pretty good with response to any problem.

"but the resulting print is only a bit over 1/2 page, regardless of whether I have selected Portrait or Landscape mode."
Hi
This is probably caused by conflicting printer settings. Selecting Portrait/Landscape needs to be done via the SETUP option (second button from left along bottom) in the Print Map box as
well as the Orientation option on the main page.
Use the Preview option to
check you have setting correct before printing.
Cheers

Did all that Greg, and it just keeps trying if you try to hard it will not let you go out and then have to turn the computer off with the power button. This has happened before so I just decided to find out why. I have paid for the soft ware to many years ago lol.
I mostly do not worry about printing maps off but need to have a paper copy so the boss can follow it on the Android Tablet whilst I am using the Nuvi street directory.

Hi
Assume you are using latest version (3.95.5n).
Works for me. Bit hard to diagnose your problem as could be a number of issues..some not related to Ozi...anyway
What do you mean by "It all comes up with print format" At what point of the process does this happen? Are you cliking on File - Print - Print Map Image and getting box shown below?
Image Could Not Be Found
Which options have you tried in the Print Map Section (Window - fit to page etc. etc). Does the Preview option work for you? When you click Setup is your printer shown?
Cheers

Just a thought Bruce - Have you perhaps selected one of the "Map" options (the lower left ones on Greg's image)? With a big map loaded that could take a very long time to convert to a printable image.
