Maptech PCX (.02.) - An older format produced by Maptech but still in use. Maptech (.AER) charts - Aeronautical charts produced by Maptech. Maptech (.024.100.250) maps - Terrain Navigator maps produced by Maptech.
KOMPASS - this format supports Kompass digital maps.
RIK - this format supports Swedish RIK maps (module purchased separately). Geo-referencing information can be read direct from the file. If the SID image file is supplied with a (.SDW) file, OziExplorer can use it for geo-referencing.ĮCW - this format gives good compression. MrSID - this format gives high compression. BSB format cannot be written by the user. If the files have to be converted before importing them into OziExplorer CE, use the Img2ozf converter.īSB/BSB4/BSB5 - formats developed specifically for mapping, gives good compression and the image can be paged from disk. JPG, JPEG - Provides excellent compression but the fully uncompressed image must be loaded into RAM (non-paging), not recommended for use with large images. 8bit or 24bit color images are supported. This is the preferred "non-paging" format to use. PNG - This format gives good compression but the image must be decompressed and fully loaded into RAM (it cannot be paged from disk). TIF - The TIF format has many different variations and compression schemes which can be used. These formats below can only be used in the registered version of OziExplorer: OziExplorer uses maps in the following formats:īMP - the only format supported in the shareware/demo version. This is very helpful when calibrating old maps.

OziExplorer has a zoom window with crosshairs to assist manual calibrations, so you can exactly position calibration points or position other objects on your map. The unregistered version is limited to using 2 calibration points. The registered version of OziExplorer allows you to use 9 calibration points. When you scan your own map or have a digital map which is not calibrated, you can use the OziExplorer's built-in map calibration. In order to use a map for real time navigation (tracking) with OziExplorer, your digital map (scanned or obtained on the web) has to be calibrated (geo-referenced or geocoded). In this article, I would like to mention only features that are directly involved in navigating with geo-referenced maps. OziExplorer has a large number of features, and there are numerous sites explaining them and "how-to's" in details. As a real time navigation aid, OziExplorer is ideal for planning your footwork research and locating hunt sites during metal detecting outings. By using OziExplorer you can plan your trip by creating waypoints, routes and tracks on screen and upload this data to your GPS.

OziExplorer is an interactive mapping software which allows you to work, on your laptop or PC with digital maps that you have purchased or scanned yourself. The scope of this article is only to introduce you to the most popular mapping software which incredibly reduces the time spent for navigating through remote areas while traveling to/from the metal detecting locations and pinpointing the hunt sites on the ground.
