They say that they are dedicated to open source data. I think I will try TopoZone as a map source. I'll work more at it and see how it goes. Colorado's website worked smoothly, but the map didn't. Then, when I try and get a Phoenix area map, it points me into somewhere in Mexico. Arizona's web site wouldn't let me register until I made a special request to the administrator via email. So far, the freely available USGS quads have only been a little bit successful. In order for OZI to recognize a working map, it requires the two files. map 63e06.map The screen below shows the map file and a corresponding map image with the same ident number. Ozi then creates the calibration data as a file extension. The map data companies seem to work very hard at keeping their data inaccessible to other programs. known lat/long locations on the map image so OZI can stretch or massage the map to be more accurate.
Mapv for oziexplorer software#
It seems to be a "can of worms" if you aren't using some company's proprietary mapping software with their own proprietary map database. I'll have to join up and spend some time there to learn this thing. I did stumble across the Yahoo group for OziExplorer. Probably something wrong with all the map grid/projection/coordinate stuff, and maybe the 1:250,000 scale maps aren't so good for this purpose anyway? For some reason Ozi did not like the calibration of the map, and would not use it with the GPS receiver until I manually added calibration coordinates gotten from a DeLorme Colorado Atlas & Gazetteer. I did pay up for OziExplorer, and downloaded 1:250,000 topo's of the San Juan region of southwest Colorodo from the state's web site. I did read your reply but barely had time for that, much less give any reply of my own. I was madly racing around getting the family equipped for a first time ski trip to southern Colorado, AND hoping to get GPS mapping working to help with a little back rode exploring while there.
