- Create Waypoints, Routes and Tracks on the map and upload these to your GPS
- Show your GPS position in real time on the map
- Specify permanent Map features on a map and attach a picture (or any other type of file) to each feature
Using your own scanned or purchased digital maps, OziExplorer allows you to create waypoints, routes and tracks on the map and upload them to a supported GPS receiver (most Garmin, Magellan, Lowrance GPS), and also download waypoints, routes and tracks from your GPS and display them on a map.
You can specify permanent Map features and display a picture (or other type of file) for each feature. Create a text box, with comments, on an appropriate position on the Map, or even place your own descriptive symbols.
You can scan and calibrate your own maps or charts. You can also use maps in various formats such as BSB, USGS DRG, ECW, SID, TIF, PNG, and others.
Over 100 map Datums supported as well as support for many map projections and grid systems, including UTM, BNG, IG, Swiss, Swedish, NZG and others.
You can print maps and waypoint lists. This software can also show your GPS position in real time on the map (moving map).
In moving map operation, OziExplorer automatically changes to the next map. It will also navigate you along your chosen route giving instructions when each waypoint is reached. Various parameters such as Speed, Course, Next Waypoint, Distance, CTS, XTE, ETE and ETA are displayed.
Some of the ways this software can be used is for boating, 4WD, flying, hiking, bushwalking, geocaching, and would also be of assistance to emergency services.
