Import Map - For Importing maps in other formats into OziExplorer. OziExplorer reads the calibration (georeference) information from these maps and creates OziExplorer .map files which the allows the maps to be opened into OziExplorer. During the import process the map images are not moved so if importing from a CD (for example) the CD must be available when opening the imported map into OziExplorer.

OziExplorer Map Files (*.map) on CD - Some map manufacturers are providing OziExplorer Map (.map) files on the CD with the map images. These map files can sometimes be used direct from the CD but of course cannot be modified. This option allows you to import these .map files  from the CD and place them on your hard disk in a folder you specify. In the process the CD is searched for the required map image which belongs to each .map file so the links to the map images are maintained correctly. DO NOT try to import the .map files from a hard disk as the entire hard disk must be searched for each .map file and this can take considerable time. Note that the map images are not moved, the .map files are just copied to the specified folder on the hard disk and the link to the map image is adjusted in the .map file. The CD must still be in the drive to load the maps.

Map Features and Comments from Map File - Imports the Map Features and Map Comments from the selected Map file and adds them to the currently loaded map. Only Features or Comments which are actually positioned on the map are imported.
