    HELP ozi maps

    Ok, I know there is free maps out there for ozi but I cant get my head around what I need to do to them (after reading all the info I can find, incuding here). I am after desert track maps plus others.
    Doing the simpson later this year and would like to have ozi working on my notebook mainly as a back up.
    So if some one would share your maps with me that are ready to go, I am prepared to pay some think for your time to create them.
    cheers

    Blaze,

    The 1:250K maps can be downloaded free from

    https://www.ga.gov.au/products/servl...EFINE_PRODUCTS

    you will need to register with the site, find the maps you want (make sure you get .ecw format). They will then email a link to complete the down load.

    After you have unzipped them you will need to open Ozi and go to

    File | import map | ecw

    This will create the .map file which will pair with the ecw to give you usable mapping.

    Other mapping can be found at GPS Australia

    I have down loaded a map, (only 1 for the pemberton area), from the aforementioned govt site. i v'e also used the google mv software to down load map images from google, and output an oziexp map file.

    The govt maps are much more detailed from the point of view of place names and labelling. The google maps, as long as you have used an appropriate zoom level, have much more detail of roads and tracks. In the pemberton area only, there are numerous tracks shown that are not on the govt maps.

    Try Google maps for oziexplorer (googleozi) you can make google earth images into ozi maps. Low res for unregistered but you can do a lot of small maps and use map merge to make a larger one.
