Also what is needed in various devices to get it working as it should.Īs my Ozi software is licensed, I have full functionality, so some of what I post may be reference only to those with trial versions. Also have the Android version on tablet and on smart phone, I'll add some links to devices and produce some screenshots as we go. I started using Ozi when with the DOD, I have a good collection of maps and use it on Laptop at home and in the caravan. Unfortunately I cannot post links until I have 10 posts thus have given a general address. Imagine other Ozi users in forum have plenty of info on mapping, and devices they use it on. I have no interest in Oziexplorer just am a long time happy user. and visit, shareware versions available for trial, but they have limitations. But well worth the time, once you have it right.įor Oziexplorer PC, 3D, PocketPC, Android, mapmerge and a lot of other info to get you going just google Oziexplorer website Au. I think that is enough info for now as navigating around layers and getting the results, can be a lot of trial and error.
Be careful with download and import and check to ensure georeferencing is correct. Go to below website add layers that you require to map of interest, zoom in or out to get area and download then import into Ozi, of course this is for QLD but imagine other states would have such sites. I am fortunate to have a local library that has free WiFi with (so far) unlimited download limit.Ok, Mapping, a top resource for maps showing mine and prospect locations, can be imported into Ozi with georeferencing but with care. All the other software I downloaded from the Android Play Store. The shop and forum called Exploroz sell a much better interface screen for Oziexplorer for $10 downloaded online to your computer and transferred to your phone again via the card.
Oziexplorer for Android will cost you $25 USD. The Oziexplorer website gives the instructions for doing everything on an Android. I am sure your maps could go on the card as well. If you have a memory card for your phone you can download Ozi to that from your computer and plug it into your phone. HEMA would be good but the mobile data might be a killer, we here only have tower access, no copper.įor anyone this is a good site I just found, dropped my jaw actually, no high functionality sadly but still great none the less. Thanks BillB, did you need to internet download all the map data direct to the android device or was there another way within those apps to get it full of data?.like I have all the OZI 1:100 (I think) maps in OZI format including the great barrier reef on CD.Īctually the HEMA I have none of these did you need to download them over the net direct to the android device? Thanks all for the replies, I own a less than year old grey import Galaxy 6.5inch phone so possibly I might be able to rev this up to cover all the bases, well most of them anyway. What's my best real option today? for 4WD and esp lake/water near shore/inshore, I want to be able to use KML/Zs, Topographic maps and hema type maps as redundant as they might be with the Topo's I suppose.Īny actual working scenario ideas welcome? I got no clue what is the best today without mobile tower reception and that is often way to close to any population up here. Perfect would be Google maps optionally overlaid (without internet connection) with Hema maps and the option to use government topographic also, all in realtime GPS with the option to use same personal all data points, tracks, place-marks, co-ords etc across all maps/overlays.I think this will be unrealistic until some company works out the awesome end value, but what is the closest to we can achieve today?, I have chart plotters for boating offshore but nothing that will work on say boating Lake Tinaroo/ any lake) at any real-time resolution (see shoreline proper and vegetation etc etv )and get there via car and trailer.the entire package.
Hi all looking for a good all inclusive realtime GPS package, I have used Ozi in the past and have all the maps still but this time I also want stand alone hardware, not say a separate defined GPS unit that is not incorporated and hopeless bluetooth etc.all that stuff of 7 years ago years etc ago.
