Map Requirements

• Maps of your particular area of the world which you can scan or purchased digital maps in the correct format.
• These image formats are supported - ozfx3, ozf2, ecw, .jpg, .png and .bmp. (Note : Because the code libraries available only suit the ARM cpu the ECW support is only available for PDA's with ARM cpu's.)
• These ozf formats are special formats developed for use in OziExplorerCE (details are in this help). Maps can be converted to the ozfx3 format, a conversion utility is available on the web site.
• Both formats allow paging of the image from disk and therefore require little memory for image display.
• Due to its high compression, the ecw format is a slower format to load on a PDA.

• The image formats jpg, png and bmp are fully loaded into memory so the images must be small and only 8bit and 24bit color formats are supported. It is highly recommended maps in jpg, png and bmp format are converted to OZFx3 using the Img2Ozf conversion software.

• Almost any map that can be used in the PC OziExplorer can be used in OziExplorerCE provided it can be converted to the ozfx3 format.
• Note - No useable maps are provided with this package only example maps.
