Oziexplorer users - got couple questions

Post by nicbeer »

Hey,

Wondering who uses oziexplorer for navigation on a laptop in a 4b.

I am using it with a mouse style reciever and wishing to know how to do a few things.

Snail trails - tracking when driving? (where, how)
is it easy to connect up to freedrive and are these features with fd as well?
entering UTM waypoints in direct, i am using AUS 1966 as a usual input.

Thanks

Nic

Alt-W or View->Lists->Waypoints List
Click on the "#" on the toolbar up the top
Click Add
Enter in your co-ords in UTM

Let me know if you've got problems.

Cheers

Set your datum to match the map in use. If you're using a topo map you will find this info in the information at the side / bottom. If you make sure thatthe grid system also matches, it becomes really easy to find where you are on a paper map as well.
