I realise that a 4gig SD card would be required for all the maps, ozi software, music etc.

Appreciate any help

To run Ozi it would need to be based on the Windows CE (Mobile 5 or better) operating system. I can't see any mention of that in the ad

Hi Gavin & Christine,

If your GPS is running Win CE- no issues. Just load OZI onto SD card & navigate to the OZI .EXE file. Set system to start with this application (usually check box) & OZI will start by default.
I have a LogicGear GPS running Win CE 4.2 and it runs OZI OK. I just switch between Sensis App for main roads & OZI for offroad.

Cheers..Bruiser

And... if you create a hack for it so that the unit boots to explorer not the application, you can then hook it up to your PC with activesync and do all kinds of stuff through the explorer window :)

Do you have a Logicgear GPS connected via USB?
I have tried everything including ActiveSync but unable to communicate. Logicgear wont release USB driver as they say they don't want users copying program or deleting stuff.
If you have managed to conect Logicgear to PC I would like to know how to do it.
Thanks..Bruiser

I have had the same issue. Strangely enough I was thinking about trying Mio Pocket by loading it on an SD card and seeing if it works on the Logic Gear device.
This was a job I had set for some time this weekend. I'll give it a go and post back with the results.

Unfortunately you will need to connect via activesync. What a lot of people dont realise (including myself until recently) is that the expensive GPS systems really dont offer anything extra in my mind to justify the expense. My Tevio cheapie has an SD card input, USB connection to the laptop so I got free reign over the unit. I can load as many different apps on it, including other GPS software/maps such as Tom Tom, add maps (I just added the whole of south Tassie) via GoogleMV (666megs! :eek:) so now I got what I need (still to do north of Tassie).

I modified the Favourites to include shortcuts to both apps so I can run which ever I want. And all these extras are loaded on the SD card, not the unit which means I can have many SD cards with the apps, maps etc, the possibilities are tremendous.

I have a cheapo Ebay GPS that I loaded OziExplorer to. It's not the same as what you're looking at, but I assume to steps to get Ozi on to it would be similar. There's some good instructions here that I used for loading Ozi onto mine, they may help you (sorry they're from a Pootrol forum):p :)

Oziexploerer do program for windows CE (mobile) but I don't think that one has it, you will need to convert the ozi maps.

Greetings all

I just found my local Kmart has thier Logic Gear SL350f units on sale for $159 I noticed that it runs Windows CE4.2. Bruiser do I have to unlock my unit first before being able to run Oziexplorer or will it run by just loading it on the SD card and navigating to it.

Thanks

If it is like the XL488 then yes - copy OxiexplorerCE to the root directrory of the SD card. The exe file you need to use is OziExplorerCE_arm.exe

On the main menu of the Logic Gear device their should be a button that says Settings, click on that, then click on the Application button.
This should give you a screen shows the path to the navigation software

Click on the search button (magnifying glass) and select Storage Card.
Select OziExplorerCE_arm.exe
Then navigate back to the main menu.
Pressing the GPS button should run Ozi.
If you want to run the standard Logic Gear navigation, then go through the process again but select go to the NANDFlash directory, then Logicgearnavigation directory and select Logicgearnavigation.exe.

This may be a little different on the 350 device but should be close enough.

I tried putting MioPocket on the XL 488, unfortunately I could not get it to boot as CE device, still locked. Tried to run the the MioPocket app by linking the GPS Button (in the same way that I run OziCE), definitel started to run and install, however I ended up with an error message in Chinese.:o:eek:

The good thing is that the device is not a brick.:D

I will do some more investigation, however in the meantime, I'll just have to transfer maps etcc using the SD card reader in the laptop

I purchased a 2nd 2gig SD card and loaded all the software and maps
Copied all my waypoints, tracks and routes over

Looks great on a 7" screen

Works a treat....:D:D

Thanks for the advice

[vk2icj]

Thanks this works on the 350f. There is a fella on another site sending out DVD's with hema maps and 250k maps along with an unregistered version on ozieCE. I bought my lic and away I go. If anyone is interested I'll PM his details. It's all legit ,,,
