oziexplorer mapping for pda

Post by tropey »

I want to load oziexplorer onto my pda. On the web site it says that you can only load the gps waypoints onto it from the desktop version and that if you do that you still can't edit or add any further waypoints into the pda once out and about. Is this true? Does anyone have any experience with this?
If this is the case, can anyone suggest another programme to use. I basically want it to upload previous tracks that I have the waypoints for, but I also want to be able to edit them or create new ones on the pda if / when needed.
Any help is appreciated.

You need to get the CE version and it will work, I have added waypoints using my pda

I run CE on my Navman PiN and have done for over 2 years now with no probs.

The tom tom is a bit better on the road than the navman but why buy 2? You can't run CE with the tom tom IIRC.

You can create waypoints on the CE version just fine. What you can't do is calibrate maps or plan routes AFAIK. You need the PC version for that. Have you tried the trial version?

I have a Magellan FX 324 GPS and a Toshiba PDA.
I run them in a 75 series ute so I don't have much space for a laptop.

I use Ozi CE for Maping. Tom Tom for street stuff when I'm lost in a city.

I found that for route planning and seeing where you have been and the end of the day. Its easier to look on a 17 inch monitor rather than a 4 inch. So thats why I have the PC version.

I forget now but there is some functions that I can't do with Ozi. Eg upload and download stuff to and from the GPS.

For stuff that I can't do with Ozi I use G7toCE. Its a free App and its good. I download the data and then save it in Ozi format in the G7toCE app. And you can go the other way
