Have to ay oziexplorer is now the only windows program I still run. However I find i tis noticeably more reliable in the car running under wine than under windows, so thats all ok.

I found a Garmin II+ on the dashboard worked OK, in most places. Heavy
trees upset it a bit.

An external antenna on the bonnet helped a bit, not a big change.
Not worth the $$ for mine.

I get to design chips. Silcon ones.

Its one line at a unix or cygwin shell
eg
for i in *.map ; do mv $i $i.bak ; sed -e "s/\.\././" $i.bak > $i ; done

(not even one of those loooong lines. :)

The jaycar adaptors are prolific chipsets, seem to work fine.

I got several $4.50 adaptors from China via Ebay - they work fine too.
Thats $10 each inc postage.

Some older usb-serial adaptors have a deparate need for hardware handshake
signals. They don't do anything without them.

To use one without handshake (which is not needed at GPS baud rates)...

This all seems a quite a bit more technical than is needed here.
RS232 drivers are tough, can drive lots of wire at 19k2 at least.
nmea is just 4800 baud. Just parallel all the loads. 5 or 6...

a word of warning:
Some radio/amps have line in connections that are intended to be used with
cd changers. (I have one like that in my TLC) That unit connects to a via ITX computer currently, but...

a small number of really big maps works for me best when they are in
ozfx2 (or 3) format for ozi. Particularly compared to little maps with whitespace at the edges, because they are not square.

I use 'convert', but I am running a linux box. Its free and works well, part of the
ImageMagick suite (http://www.imagemagick.org). Can batch lots of things too.

for those under windows, you...

Hi All

I bought a 250k Natmap raster premium DVD late last year. It works pretty well
with oziexplorer once I got the paths right in the map files.
To speed things up on the mosaic maps on...

The mouse is not used that much. We have got the control-s control-t down pat now to start up the gps interface and a track, so the mouse is just used to :

o turn off moving map, drag drag maps...

Out of interest, how much of a problem are fingerprints on the screen? I hate people touching my monitor.

also I'd be a bit concerned about poking a finger thru the front of the LCD when

Hi
in case its useful for others
I tend to use oziexplorer in a landcruiser. selecting maps, generally driving the program menus using the mouse when bouncing around offroad is a challenge.

Hi
I agree that converting to ozf2 or ozf3 is an excellent idea particularly for older hardware. I've been doing that. Has anyone succeeded in converting the landsat7 image file? I get file-to-big...
