OziExplorerCE is moving map software for PocketPC's and Window CE PND
Navigators
which use the WinCE core operating system. It
uses raster map images which are either scanned or purchased in digital format.
It allows you to track your position received from a GPS on a map (moving map).
OziExplorerCE is not automatic route planning software, you cannot request the best way to get
from point A to point B, the types of maps OziExplorerCE uses do not allow this. However OziExplorerCE will allow you to create your own routes on the
map and navigate along those.
The design philosophy is you plan your trip using the full PC OziExplorer on you PC and
then transfer your waypoints and other data to your PDA for use by OziExplorerCE.
|
OziExplorerCE runs on PocketPC and Windows CE GPS / PND's but it relies on map
calibrations etc to be provided by the full PC version of OziExplorer, in this respect OziExplorerCE can be considered an add-on to the full Oziexplorer software, you also need
the full OziExplorer to calibrate maps, plan trips by adding waypoints etc.
The unregistered OziExplorerCE will work with the unregistered OziExplorer
but the limitations of both packages will apply.
To get the full use of OziExplorerCE you
must have a full purchased copy of OziExplorerCE and a full purchased copy of PC
OziExplorer.

Gps Requirements
- All Windows CE based GPS / Navigators /PND's now available have a built in GPS.
Map Requirements
- Maps of your particular area of the world which you can scan or purchase
in digital format which can be converted to the ozf4 format. Map images in
the ECW format can be used without conversion. See
the "Using Maps in CE" page for more
information.
- To convert maps to the ozf4 format, a
conversion utility called Img2Ozf is available for download from this web
site. The ozf4 is a
special format developed for use in OziExplorerCE (details are in the
Img2Ozf help document). The
format allows paging of the image from disk and therefore requires little memory for image
display.
- Note - No useable maps are provided with OziExplorerCE, only example maps.
Vector Maps
OziExplorerCE does not support any vector map formats.

Navigator. We refer to these as a wince core arm device. |
The GPS / Navigators which
use the WinCE "Core" OS may be devices which are dedicated to particular
tasks such as running specific navigation software.
1. Download the file and manually copy it to the
device
or Memory card using windows explorer. 2. Configure your navigator
to run the program - most Chinese Navigators have the ability in their setup to specify which
program is run when the GPS Software option is clicked. |
