Fixes Fixed a bitmap leak in ECW when using very large maps and greater than 100% zoom. Also fixed a couple of minor memory leaks in all ECW handling.
Fixed a problem with DTED elevation data when there is no more data available past the edge of the current region.
Fixed a problem with OZF2 map images on win 95, 98, ME when using zooms below 100% and there are waypoints on the map. The map would write over the top of the menu and toolbars.
Changes Added new command to the OziAPI for moving map control.
Added new command to the OziAPI for finding maps.
Increased number of waypoints per route to 255.
Beta Version 3.90.4h1Fixes OZF2 maps sometimes generated an exception when changing zoom levels - fixed.
There was a memory leak with the OZF2 format causing additional memory to be taken each time the map was scrolled. This was particularly noticeable in moving map where the map is continuously being scrolled.
Changes Changes to how file attachments to waypoints and map features were processed meant files attached by url's did not work, a change has been made to allow these to pass through my checking code so they work again.
Beta Version 3.90.4hFixes New versions of Garmin GPS firmware caused OziExplorer to give a "floating point error" under certain circumstances when downloading waypoints, this has been fixed. Downloading tracks under certain circumstances caused the same error but for a different reason, now fixed.
Fixed the edge affects that occurred on the 3D maps when using DTED and Grid ASCII DEM files. The edge affects were visible when moving viewing across DEM boundaries.
Changes General To scroll the map by dragging with the mouse no longer requires the "Drag Map" button to be depressed, the map can be dragged at any time.
The "Drag Map" button is now used to "Lock" and "Unlock" the dragging of map objects (waypoints, map features .....).
OZF2 There have been many changes to how the OZF2 format is used. OziExplorer now generates most of the zoom levels "on the fly" and they no longer need to be stored in the OZF2 file. This results in considerably smaller files. Only the Zoom levels 20% and below are stored in the OZF2 file.
Existing OZF2 files can still be used - there is no change to the OZF2 file format. A new version of the Img2Ozf converter is available - see the Img2OZF web page for details.
OziExplorer no longer displays scroll bars when using OZF2 files, the map can be scrolled by dragging with the mouse or by using MapView.
3D There has been a change in the way OziExplorer adds altitudes to waypoints and tracks when using the 3D add-an. Altitude is no longer automatically added when a waypoint or track point is created or moved. There is a differing of opinion on how this should work - example when dragging a waypoint a short distance the original potentially more accurate altitude from the GPS may want to be kept instead of being replaced by the DEM altitude. Altitudes can now be added from the Waypoint and Track Lists - the options are on the one of the drop down menu buttons. Of course for any function in OziExplorer which requires the altitude (track profile or sending to Ozi3D) the altitudes are still automatically added "on the fly" if there is no altitude.
Beta Version 3.90.4gFixes minor fixes
Changes Additional changes to suit the "New" OziExplorer API just released (the link to the API is on the Utilities web page).
The Moving Map Control and Navigation Control now remember their positions and the PgUp/PgDn and Arrow keys now work on the Moving Map Control and Navigation Control.
16 Million color (24bit) and grey scale png images can now be loaded.
Added the VICGRID map grid (for Victoria Australia).
The "Find Map from Entered Position" dialog now includes separate buttons for positioning the point on the current map and finding maps which include the position.
Beta Version 3.90.4eFixes For some dem types (USGS DEM and ASCII grid) we discovered that we had misinterpreted the way the start coordinates of the dem are given. This caused the heights to be offset slightly from their actual location (half a grid spacing in the east-west and north-south directions). This has been fixed.
Changes Added support for the NIMA DTED height data.
Added additional parameters to the default.ozproj file for working with the user grid and projections, also added the ability to shift a DEM in the x and y directions (unrelated to the fix above) - see the Height Data web page or help for details.
Added the option to turn ON and OFF the ability to read depth from the NMEA sentence. This is to allow for those cases where a GPS is outputting the depth sentence but the GPS is being used on land. This only affects the ability to read the DBT and DPT NMEA sentences, if your GPS does not output these sentences then this option has no affect. The option can be found on the Moving Map tab in OziExplorer Configuration.
The MGRS grid can now be displayed as a grid on the map.
ECW images can now also be imported using the "Import DRG" option on the Import menu, this provides the ability to specify the missing parameters.
Beta Version 3.90.4dFixes Fixed a problem when using USA 24K DEM's with old format headers.
Also added the ability to use USA 24K DEM's which have line feeds at the end of each record.
Fixed a problem when importing Arcview shape files which have null records.
Fixed some problems with 16 color (4 bit) ozf files.
Changes Added the ability to use Grid Ascii and ArcView BIL height data files which are not in Lat/Lon. Most Grids (supported by OziExplorer) and datums can be used. This is handled by placing a special file called default.ozproj in the folder where the particular DEM files are stored. OziExplorer looks for this file as it scans the dems and uses the Grid, datum and zoned contained in the file. See the Height Data help (bottom of the page) on information on how to do this. (This should enable those New Zealanders trying to get some of their free data which is in the NZ grid and using the Geodetic Datum 1949 to work with OziExplorer (you need the Grid Ascii data files by the way).)
USA 24K DEM's in Lat/Lon format can now be used - Canada DEM's appear to be in this format.
Added the ability to select the map viewing window on the 3D Map Creation control.
Beta Version 3.90.4cFixes Fixed a problem when calculating height data for Ozi3D when using the filtering option.
Changes nil
Beta Version 3.90.4bFixes Some USA 250K DEMS have a slightly different way of formatting fields in the header to the others. Ozi3D would reject these as not being valid even though they are - now fixed.
Regional Map and Index Map would not properly load maps with a Transverse Mercator (User Grid) projection - fixed.
Changes nil
Beta Version 3.90.4aBugs Removed some more track manipulation bugs put in by the previous version.
Changes Added the interface for Elevations and OziExplorer3D.
Added the ability to use the function function key assignments while these windows have the focus, Navigation Control, Index Map, Name Search, Route Editor and the NMEA Output window.
Added Blue and Gray to Night Vision colors
Added Set Intensity (map brightness) button to the User Toolbar button and Function Key selections. This option allows you to cycle through the intensities at 10% intervals.
The ability to create a Waypoint from a Track point has been added to the right click menu of an active Trackpoint.
DRG Image Import will now assume that if there is a negative Northing in the georeference file (tfw,jgw,sdw etc) that the map is situated in the southern hemisphere and will subtract the Northing the 10,000,000 false Northing.
On the Index map the currently loaded map is highlighted (where applicable).
quite a few minor changes.
Beta Version 3.90.3h1Bugs Removed some track manipulation bugs put in by the previous version (drag track point, insert trackpoint and edit track point position).
Changes nil
Beta Version 3.90.3hBugs Fixed the PVT problem when using serial port driver #2
Fixed the "Start NMEA Communication with GPS" and "Stop NMEA Communication with GPS" menu options being enabled/disabled when they should not have been, this only occurred when using PVT mode.
Fixed the DRG import bug introduced a couple of versions ago.
Fixed the Map Projection combo box in map calibration, it was set to display too many options in the list causing it to scroll over the mouse causing a option to be selected. Only happened on 800x600 or smaller screens.
other minor bugs.
Changes Fine tuned the Brunton / Silva GPS support, now much more reliable.
More of the Open file dialogs can now be resized.
Beta Version 3.90.3gBugs More fixes for the Brunton / Silva support, mainly for route download.
Changes Added options to delete all waypoints and routes from the Brunton / Silva GPS.
Beta Version 3.90.3fBugs The Map Feature name in map feature properties was accidentally restricted to 10 characters, now fixed.
E00 files could not be imported correctly, fixed.
The Help link on the waypoint File Attachment dialog help button has been fixed.
The waypoint file attachments for waypoint and route proximity's has been reworked. The route proximity attachments were not working properly at all and have been fixed.
Changes The Brunton / Silva support has been reworked for routes and should now be working properly. The help section for Brunton / Silva has been modified to include more information, particularly about the software version of the GPS.
Added a new brighter icon to the exe file, the icon of a shortcut to OziExplorer can be changed by using the Change Icon button in the shortcut properties.
Beta Version 3.90.3eBugs The waypoint description in waypoint properties was accidentally restricted to 10 characters, now fixed.
Beta Version 3.90.3dBugs Windows XP - Fixed some problems caused by XP theme.
other minor things
Changes The buffer length for NMEA strings has been extended from 80 characters to allow for radio modems (TNC's) which add characters in front of the standard NMEA sentence, the string was being truncated and the NMEA string was seen by OziExplorer as not valid.
Added a Track reverse function on Track Control menu
The Track Control now has an option on the More Options button to move any selected track direct to Track 1.
Regional Map Window - has more window sizes available - and can be disconnected from tracking with the main map window so it can be scrolled independently. The tracking disconnect is on the right click menu on the regional map window.
A button has been added to the User toolbar and Function Key selections to instantly clear track 1 (no warning given).
Garmin Geocaching Symbols have been added to the list of Garmin Symbols, if your GPS supports them you will have to create a new OziExplorer symbol set for it by using the Create Symbol set button on the GPS tab in OziExplorer configuration.
Moving map now has the ability to use User drawn pointers. Select User 1 , User 2 or User 3 options as the pointer types in the Pointer field on the Moving Map tab in OziExplorer configuration. An example file has been provided as a download.
If the track files (or other files) attached to a map cannot be found at the link specified in the file OziExplorer will try to find them in the exe file path, data file path and so on.
The Index map now has the ability to automatically hide itself when a map is opened, this option is on the drop down menu on the index map toolbar.
MLR GPS support has had many changes and additional options added.
Added the ability to set number of stop bits to Com settings (some MLR GPS receivers require this).
Added support for Silva Multinavigator and Brunton Multinavigator GPS receivers.
Added the VICMAP-TM grid (pseudo AMG), this is for maps produced by VICROADS of Victoria Australia. These maps can be imported using the Import / All DRG Maps on CD option. When asked specify the Datum as Australian Geodetic 1966 and the Map Projection as VICMAP-TM (no zone number needed).
Added the 2 grids for Italy (Italy 1 and Italy 2).
Waypoints can now have files attached to them for viewing or activation when entering a waypoint proximity or route waypoint proximity zone. This means that sound files (.wav) can be played and symbols displayed when entering these zones. There is a new button on the waypoint properties dialog called Attachments where the files can be specified. OziExplorer help has the full details. The attached files can now also be played and displayed by version 1.10.2 of OziExplorerCE, set the waypoints up in PC OziExplorer first.
Beta Version 3.90.3cChanges The scroll bars have been removed from maps using MrSID images, this allows me to reduce the memory requirements (a design thing). MrSID images are really too slow to scroll by using scroll bars anyway. Scrolling can be done by using the MapView window, double clicking on the map, the "drag map" option (the hand) on the toolbar or by holding down the Ctrl key and dragging with the mouse (the drag map option need not be active). If you really want scroll bars back put a file called sidscrollbar.dat in the oziexplorer folder and restart OziExplorer (if you get errors on loading a MrSID map remove it and see if you still get the errors)..
Because MrSID images are slow to page there was a white flash as a new image page was loaded after a zoom level was changed, I have removed the flash by disabling the erase background action for the viewing area. Hopefully this will not affect other aspects of the code.
A few resource leaks have been fixed in the MrSID code.
A 75% zoom level has been added for ECW maps.
Beta Version 3.90.3bChanges The MapView image was upside down and map printing was upside down when using the new MrSID image format. This only happened on win98/me. It hopefully is now fixed.
Beta Version 3.90.3aBugs Fixed a problem with the display datum not displaying grid coordinates correctly. This happened when the display datum was different to the map datum.
Changes The NMEA sentences output to the Autopilot are now selectable.
Added support for the MrSID format. There are a few issues with this.
The MrSID format seems to be slow at paging the image from disk, this is not related to the code in OziExplorer, as when using the same image, OziExplorer loads a page slightly faster than the MrSID Viewer software. There seems to be no way to speed this up.
Therefore scrolling and zooming of the image will be slow as image pages a read from disk.
The zooms available have been adjusted to suit the MrSID "native" zoom levels, these give clear images at these levels of zoom. If the zooms are not available in the SID image then the zoom will not work correctly at this stage.
If you add a file called sidfull.dat to the oziexplorer folder (it doesn't matter what is in the file) and restart OziExplorer then it will load the SID image fully into memory (a lot of memory is required). Loading will be very slow but scrolling and zooming will be fast. Zoomed images and mapview will not be as clear.
There are a couple of SID images (on the Australian NSW TopoView CD's) which OziExplorer cannot load (2 out of 1000+) but the MrSID Viewer can, it is not known why and there seems to be no way to fix this.
Release Version 3.90.3Bugs Fixed a problem with the index map giving an access violation when many maps were clicked quickly.
Fixed some minor problems with dialogs not displaying correctly when using large fonts.
Changes nil
Beta Version 3.90.2aBugs Fixed autopilot bug not outputting to serial port when using the same port as the GPS.
Closing the Area Calculation window no longer clears track 1 (it was not intentional).
some other minor fixes
Changes Added an additional serial port driver to the code, the COM tab in configuration now allows a choice of 2 drivers. There is an increasing use of USB to Serial Port convertors being used on laptop computers. The quality of the drivers provided with some adapters makes it difficult to provide code which works with all of them. Two Serial Port Drivers which use different techniques are provided and either of them can be selected, there is a good chance that one of them will work. The driver that was used in previous versions is "Driver 1", the new driver is "Driver 2" which is the default driver.
The "Save Map to Image File" option on the File Menu has been completely rewritten to reduce the resources required in win 95/98/ME. The map image is now saved in strips so the full image is never loaded and therefore a large windows "bitmap" object is not created.
The map images are now saved in 24 bit color so they will be larger than the 8 bit color used in the previous version. The advantage of this is there will not be a problem with the palette when drawing waypoints, tracks and other OziExplorer objects on the image. If you want to use the saved images in OziExplorer you should use a program such as Paint Shop Pro or similar to convert them back to 256 colors.
The Index Map now has an option on the drop down and right click menu to Refresh the Maps from the Search Path folder.
The Index Map also has an option on the drop down and right click menu to "Highlight" the map polygons the cursor is hovering over.
Release Version 3.90.2Changes nil
Release Version 3.90.1Bugs Fixed problem with zoom window cross hairs not lining up with mouse cursor (for some graphics card models).
Fixed import of Quovadis .cal files for the new versions of the cal file.
Changes nil
Release Version 3.90.0Bugs minor fixes
Changes nil
Beta Version 3.85.8.1Changes More changes have been made to Name Search. There is now the ability to search for names within a radius of a specified position. There are some other minor changes as well and a couple of bug fixes.
Beta Version 3.85.8.0Bugs Fixed a bug in the Index map when there were more than 2000 maps to process.
Found and fixed a resource leak, it showed mainly in the Index Map window as the window was resized but was in every window that has the extra button in the caption bar to "roll" the window up.
Changes No new features added just fine tuning of the Index map and Name Search.
Beta Version 3.85.7.8Bugs Fixed a bug in the Regional Map window when using certain types of BSB charts.
Changes An Index Map function has been added, this allows you to display a small map in a window and see the borders of all the maps in specified folders drawn onto the map, see the help for full details.
Nightvision support has been added for ECW maps.
A button has been added to the top status line to allow the display datum to be adjusted.
Datum selection has been added to all dialogs which display the position.
Name Search has been refined a little more.
The Track List now has a button to split and join track sections.
Beta Version 3.85.7.6/7Bugs Fixed the problem of leaving the comm port open in the MLR support.
some other minor bugs.
Changes A Name Search ability has been added. So far there is just a World cities database available for download, the ability to create databases from freely available names files on the internet will be available soon.
Added Daylight Saving time support when converting from UTC to local time.
The Map search dialog has been changed slightly.
NMEA input processing has been adjusted to give more priority to altitude and gps fix information when using large map images. The problem was the info would not be updated as the map drawing was using all the available time.
The help has been brought up to date (mostly).
Versions from 3.85.7.4 have changes made to the handling of the "Tabs" of the map calibration panel and the configuration dialog to reduce the large amount of resources used by these screens as the tabs are clicked. This required a little bit of recoding, if these screens give problems such as missing settings please let me know.
Added high speed binary track download for MLR GPS receivers.
Added reading of the DPT (depth) NMEA sentence.
Added a Points list, access the list from the Point Control.
Beta Version 3.85.7.4/5Bugs Fixed a bug with the default waypoint symbol not being used correctly.
Changes If most people do what I do and move the map image files around all the time, the links to the map images stored in the map files soon get broken. A new page has been added in the configuration which allows you to specify various paths and drives and so on where the map images may be stored, see the config help for details.
The distance the map scrolls per mouse click on the scrollbar arrows or when using the cursor keys can now be set in the configuration. Previous version had this fixed at 200 pixels.
Modified the Garmin upload/download handling to make it more reliable under adverse conditions (poor cable contact, that sort of thing).
Added the loading of track data files produced by the Compe-Gps software.
Beta Version 3.85.7.3Bugs Fixed a problem with the serial port handling
Fixed a minor problem with the track profile plot when attempting to view the profile of newly downloaded tracks.
Some minor bugs in ECW handling
Changes nothing new thats usable yet.
Beta Version 3.85.7.2Bugs Fixed track import from text files.
Fixed problem with moving map using NMEA Only GPS setting.
Fixed various format problems with the waypoint, event, map feature, map comment and track list.
Other minor fixes.
Changes Added support for MLR GPS Receivers.
When printing maps the Track Line Width per unit trackwidth can now be specified on the print dialog.
Img2Ozf.exe now supports ECW map images.
Track files can now be loaded as points (useful for converting tracks to points to upload to a Magellan 315/320 as POI's using Datasend to create a crude map).
The text for Magellan POI's for Datasend is now always saved in uppcase.
Beta Version 3.85.7.1Bugs The Garmin Symbol Set Creator (added to the previous version) had a bug where it would not read the symbol set correctly if it was the last one in the file, now fixed.
Fixed some of the default GPS parameters for the new Garmins.
Other minor fixes.
Changes MAJOR CHANGE - The problem of working with ALL "USB to Serial port adapters" is still around. I have done a lot of experimenting with an adapter and have recoded the serial port handling to use the most basic windows API function calls available for serial input/output. I am hoping this will get around the problems/bugs/differences in the supplied drivers of many of the USB to Serial adapters. Of course this new code is also used for the standard serial ports as well. Please let me know if it does or does not work with your USB to serial adapter and of course if it does not work with standard serial ports.
Added the symbol sets for the Garmin eTrex Legend, Venture and Vista, if they are not correct please let me know.
Beta Version 3.85.6.5Bugs The saving of "new" map files indicated the map file was read only (even though it didn't yet exist), this was a bug introduced in the previous version, now fixed.
Fixed a minor altitude reading problem when downloading waypoints from certain Garmin GPS receivers.
Changes Added entries for new Garmin models in the GPS models selection.
Added the ability for the user to define the symbol sets used in OziExplorer for Garmin GPS receivers. This option is on the GPS tab of configuration and is a button called "create" immediately above the "GPS Symbol Set" combo box. Help is available on the Symbol Set Creator dialog which explains its functions.
Beta Version 3.85.6.4Bugs Fixed an access violation error when editing track point properties from the track list.
Fixed scale unit problem on the track profile, the scale would sometimes look like this. example 8.0 9.0 10 11 11 12 12 13
Beta Version 3.85.6.3Bugs Fixed a rare naming problem when creating the map file names for Maptech charts.
Fixed import problem when importing some BSB version 3 CD's.
Fixed a minor bug when scrolling maps in the ECW image format.
Fixed a bug that was introduced in 3.85.6.2 when plotting tracks as polygons or alarm zones, they were not placed correctly at zooms other than 100%.
Editing of Track point times was in UTC instead of Local Time - fixed.
Fixed some problems with MGRS grid entry.
Changes Now includes time and altitude upload/download for Magellan tracks for the new 315/320 software version. The date for each trackpoint is not provided with the download (only the time) so Oziexplorer assumes the date for each point is the download date (incrementing as the time flows over to the next day).
The code for Magellan download from the GPS has been modified.
The new D109 Waypoint format for the updated GPSMAP 162/168 and the StreetPilot 3 has been added.
The window for selecting symbols for map features can be sized and remembers its position and size.
The Refresh Map option on the map right click menu now clears the map find bullseye which is left on the map after using the Find Map at Cursor option..
When searching for a more detailed map or the next map when in moving map mode and the image link in the map is not correct then this map can be ignored (you will not even know about it). This option is configurable and is on the moving map tab in configuration. Be careful when using this because if the map images are on a CD and a new CD is required you will NOT be prompted to change the CD and press the retry button.
The track distance is now updated in the track control when you drag track points.
NMEA input is now more flexible, it will look through the received string for a valid NMEA string and extract it, this is for reading input from TNC modems which may have placed a prefix on the NMEA string.
The Swedish grid has been added to import map options and Shape File import and Exporting.
Time is now an option for the x-axis on the track profile and you can now select the profile background color.
Map Features can now have a default symbol set (do this on the Map Feature properties dialog).
The Track Control has its buttons reorganized to stop some confusion, a new button has been added to save the track selected in the list. The height of the window can now be set and is remembered.
The Point Control has similar changes to the Track Control.
There is the ability to have manually created track points popup the track point properties dialog, useful for adding altitude information if clicking on contours. This button is on the track control.
The export of waypoint text files now includes altitude.
Import of Track text files has been added.
The export of track text files now includes altitude and also includes extra calculated fields - the "track section number, the "distance between points in meters", the "time between points in secs", the "speed between points in meters/sec" and the "heading from the previous point". The extra fields are ignored when a track text file is imported and need not be included.
The Import of ECW maps has been added but with the following limitations. The map projection must be based on UTM or Lat/Lon (geodetic). Only certain datums are supported during the import.
Added the Plessis Ellipsoid
Beta Version 3.85.6.2Bugs Fixed the Hide and UnHide options on the View menu.
Fixed bug in the Track profile distance.
Fixed display problem in Waypoint distance dialog and Route Print dialog (Spanish version only).
Fixed problem in the Grid display where it would lock up when zooming (Spanish version only).
Changes Added MGRS and Maidenhead grids.
Beta Version 3.85.6.1Bugs Fixed a couple of things in the Ozi API functions.
many minor problems
Changes The Spanish version is ready for beta release and is available on the Spanish language version of the OziExplorer web page.
The serial port communication library has been changed. This has improved GPS upload/download performance and hopefuly will fix most of the problems that have occured with serial port communication from time to time.
Having to change the com timeout to speed up upload/download (com timeout setting is no longer required)
May work better with USB to serial adapters.
Because of the change in the communication library the GPS upload/download code has required some rewriting. It has had limited testing at this stage.
NMEA serial input has also been rewritten.
The memory buffer size for OziMC can now be specified manually.
Added the the European 1950 (Spain and Portugal) datum.
Added a horizontal scrollbar to the file list box on the Options dialog in Map Calibration and to the option lists on the user toolbar configuration dialog.
In order to develop a Spanish version and also make changes for other types of map formats approximately 2500 to 3000 changes have been made to the source code. That is why it has been so long since the last development version was released. With so many changes bugs may have been introduced into previously working code.
Beta Version 3.85.5hBugs Many problems fixed in the France grids
Blank map grid problem fixed when using different datum.
For Garmins the Get and Send Routes button on the user Toolbar were not working correctly.
Changes For Magellans - enabled the sending and receiving of single route numbers from the Route Editor window.
Magellan routes now download from the route number in the GPS into the same route number in the OziExplorer route list. This is a little tricky because Magellans treat the route number as a name (in the download protocols) but by checking this possibility (of receiving a name instead of a number) in the code it should work ok.
Individual routes can now be moved up and down in the Route Editor - more functions are still to be added.
Added Ozi API messages - Numbers 111, 160, 161 and 230.
Beta Version 3.85.5gBugs Fixed bug in Van Der Griten map projection.
Some distance calculations fixed.
The Track profile window size problem when first used has been fixed.
The Track Profile would cause errors in win98 and 95 when large zooms were used, some checks have been added to correct this.
Changes Added a properties dialog for trackpoints, you can now edit the altitude, date/time and the position of an individual track point. The properties dialog can be accessed by double clicking or right clicking an an active trackpoint or by using the track point list.
Added the support for all document types to the Map Features. You have always been able to attach a bmp or jpg image to a map feature. You can now attach any document type, and when selected the document is passed to Windows and it will open it in whatever application is normally used in your system to open that document type. The best document type to use is HTML (web browser) as you can display images and text and link that document to any other document.
Added the loading the IGC track format for gliding, may need a bit more work yet.
Added the France grids (I, II, III and IV) for the France maps. The calibrating of maps using these grids has special requirements and you should read the help that is available in the Map Related section of the help file. The use of this function has not yet been tested.
There is now the ability to select the datum the coordinates are displayed in. The datum name is shown on the position display line, clicking on the datum name will allow you to select the datum to use. The 1st datum in the list is called "Map Datum" and this means the display datum will always match the map datum (and is the OziExplorer has always worked), otherwise select the datum of choice. The datum is saved and used the next time OziExplorer is loaded. Please note SO FAR this works only for the Position display, the object hints and the map grids, ALL OTHER lists, print outs and properties are STILL displayed in the map datum.
Beta Version 3.85.5fBugs The last version put a bug in the map comments object, it could not be dragged and the right click menu could not be activated, this has been fixed.
Changes A Track Profile option has been added, plot Altitude or Speed graphically against the Distance. It still requires a bit of work, printing perhaps, saving as an image. View / Tracks / Track Profile is the menu option. Also available from the Track Control (the More Options ... button) and is a configurable button on the "User" toolbar. There is help available by clicking on the Help button on the Track Profile dialog.
Beta Version 3.85.5eChanges I was not happy with the waypoint calibration window so I changed it from a combo box to a list box for the waypoints. Also added the waypoint description to the list. The memory for the list of waypoints for the window is now dynamically allocated instead of taken as a chunk.
When checking the calibration of a map sometimes a waypoint would cover where the calibration point should be so the point could not be added or moved. To overcome this if you click on the waypoint the calibration point is added where you click (through the waypoint), use the zoom window to position the mouse. However if the position is not correct remember you can hold down the shift key and use the arrow keys to move the calibration point position.
A track filtering option has been added, View / Tracks / Track Filter Control is the menu option. Also available from the Track Control (the More Options ... button). There is help available by clicking on the Help button on the Track Filter Control dialog. The filters you setup can be saved and loaded, I have included a few examples in the zip with the exe file.
Beta Version 3.85.5dBugs The waypoint selection for calibration points was still not right, I have made many changes this time and it is getting better. It should work ok now - if not let me know.
Changes nil
Beta Version 3.85.5cBugs Fixed a bug in the new waypoint selection for calibration points, the use of a "," as a decimal separator had not been allowed for. I also enchanced the display of waypoints in the list a little bit.
Changes nil
Beta Version 3.85.5bBugs PCX5 export Altitudes are now in meters
Uploading tracks to Garmins with a date of zero has been fixed.
Changes OziExplorer has now been converted back from the Delphi 5 compiler to Delphi 3. Delphi 5 caused slow operation and introduced many bugs, the bugs could be fixed but the slow operation was more the problem.
You can now select the calibration point positions from a list of waypoints. The waypoints must be loaded before you enter the calibration screen, there is some help which can be accessed from the wp selection dialog.
The track list now shows the Track Point ID, the same ID is shown in the hint for "active" trackpoints. This allows the points on the map and in the list to be matched. The point ID appears to be a point number but it is not, as an example if you insert a point in the middle of a track the point ID's will no longer be in order. The point ID is dynamic and is allocated as the track is loaded or a track point is created.
Beta Version 3.85.5aBugs Positions were sometimes displayed as "26 17 60.0" instead of "26 18 00.0", this should now be fixed.
Other minor bugs.
Changes OziExplorer has now been converted from Delphi 3 to the Delphi 5 compiler, this may cause some problems, some have already been fixed but there may be more.
Support for ECW map images has been improved, the images are now paged from disk on demand, this means quicker loading and much larger images can be loaded.
The altitude is now saved in PCX5 export files.
Release Version 3.85.4Bugs Minor bug in waypoint list and the editing of waypoints has been fixed.
Changes nil
Beta Version 3.85.3eBugs Fixed a problem in OziMC in the CreateOziMC.exe program. Selecting regions in OziSM smartmaps that bordered the zero longitude on the west side or bordered zero latitude on the south side would not be created.
Changes The timeout for Magellan downloading (from the GPS) has been increased from 3.5 secs to 10 secs. For some reason the Magellan 315/320 pauses during downloads when using 4800 Baud, the pause was just exceeding 3.5 secs so OziExplorer would indicate an error. I am not sure how long this problem has existed but it is only now being reported. When using 9600 Baud the pauses are very short and download proceeds normally.
Beta Version 3.85.3dBugs In configuration "Keep Map Zoom" was not being stored correctly, it was always set the same as "Keep Map Objects".
Fix in AutoPilot output, longitude was missing a leading zero.
Map file names (including path) were being limited to 120 characters (by error), this has been fixed, the length can now be up to 255 characters.
Changes Added the symbols for the Magellan map 330 and an option on the GPS selection. The symbols were created from a Faxed page of the manual so they maybe not quite correct in shape.
Added an option on the GPS selection for the eTrex Summit.
Added BWC sentence to Autopilot output.
More changes to MIF file import to handle Mapinfo user datums.
Added in the Norske datum for Norwegian Charts
Beta Version 3.85.3cBugs changed the version number this time
If there are more than 9 calibration points (either from a map import or added to the .map file manually) they would be deleted when the map was saved from the calibration screen, this has been fixed.
Changes For BSB charts a setting has been added to change from the manufacturers calibration to the OziExplorer calibration (where applicable, not all BSB charts have a manufacturers calibration supplied). This setting is on the Option button in Map Calibration. This was done because, while it is rare, the manufacturers calibration can sometimes be in error.
For BSB charts you are now allowed to change the corner markers if there are only 4 and you can adjust the calibration points if there are 9 or less.
Beta Version 3.85.3bBugs Major bug in "total route distance remaining" and ETE/ETA has finally been found and fixed.
Changes MapInfo MIF file import now can import files in the Transverse Mercator (including UTM) projection.
E00 file import improved slightly.
Tracks which have changed (from track 2 onwards) are now flagged and reported if you try to remove them without saving.
Added some zoom button choices to the User Toolbar, added a "Full" zoom option to the right click map menu.
Beta Version 3.85.3aBugs Major bug in the previous development version 3.85.2z fixed, when changing to Blank map - any loaded waypoints did not have the datum translated when the blank map was created. If the waypoints were saved then or saved after another map was loaded then the waypoint positions could be corrupted depending on the datum used for the map and the datum used for the blank map. If the datums are the same then no corruption occurs, if the datums are different then corruption occurs. If the data is not saved then no corruption of the data files occur. It may be possible in some cases to "fix" the "corrupted" waypoint files by shifting the datum back. If you put a file called "dshift.dat" in the oziexplorer folder (it doesn't matter what is in the file) and restart Oziexplorer a Datum Shift option will appear at the bottom of the map menu. Example - if your map is in NAD 27 and the Blank map is in NAD 83 (WGS84) and your waypoints were saved and the positions in the file are now corrupted then load the original map (you must be able to see some of the waypoints in the incorrect position, select the Datum Shift option. Select the datum as WGS84 (or the same datum that you have set for the blank map when the corruption occured). Shift the datum in the forward direction, the waypoints will move (hopefully into the correct spot). The shifting can be done as many times as required in any direction. If you can get them into the correct spot save the file.
Some fixes to shape file import.
Fixed datum bug in waypoint append to wpt file
Fixed the access violation error that occured on the map find dialog when selecting a map.
Changes NOTE - This version has changed the way the Function keys assignments are stored in the ini file - you will need to reconfigure your Function Keys. This change was done to allow for the new custom toolbar option.
Added a user customizable toolbar, this still needs a bit more development but works ok.
Added Wagner IV and Bonne map projections.
Added some more map projections to BSB import (Albers and Wagner IV).
The mark (target) that appears on the map when looking in the track list or "Finding a Map at the Cursor" is now removed when - the track list is closed - or a new map is opened from a menu option.
Mapinfo (mif) file import has been improved, it can now import, lines, polylines, rectangles, ellipse, arcs and points.
Added E00 file import, a little bit experimental.
The Close Map option on the File menu now closes the map (in fact loads a blank map) and closes all the data files, The Blank Map option on the Map menu loads the blank map and keeps the data files loaded.
Beta Version 3.85.2zBugs The printing of grid lines could cause the lines to be disjointed (bits missing), this hopefully has been fixed. Note that printing UTM gridlines will still be disjointed (or misaligned) where they cross a zone boundary, this is just a fact of life.
minor fixes.
Changes Added support for the ECW image format. This format provides very high compression, see www.ermapper.com , there is a free image converter available. It is a lossy compression format, the higher the compression the smaller the file but the worse the image will look.
The Date/Time and Altitude are now uploaded in the track for the Garmin eMap, eTrex and similar models, of course not all models will accept the date/time.
When using the Track Point List the currently selected Track Point is marked on the map.
Waypoints and Events can now be marked by drawing a box around them, there is a new menu called "Edit" which has various options. The marked waypoints or events can be deleted or saved. The Mark Control can be used to do the same tasks as the menu options.
All waypoints within a specified distance of another waypoint can be marked.
The lower scale limit for map printing has been lowered to 1:500 (from 1:5000), only down to 1:1000 is shown in the combobox for scale, you must enter lower values manually. Using such low values on maps at larger scales can cause large number of pages (which OziExplorer will warn about) or may even cause numeric overflows.
24bit Color TIFF files can now be used - please note that these are fully loaded into RAM not paged from disk as the 8bit color TIFF images are. For large images the amount of RAM and other resources required required can be a factor in whether the images can be used or not.
Selecting the "Blank" map no longer automatically removes the waypoints, tracks etc, it is now treated the same as any other map.
There is now the ability to add the date/time to track points for tracks that do not have them provided the track was collected at a set time interval (optionis on track control).
There is a new option on the Waypoint List to "Append" the selected waypoints to any waypoint file.
There are now zoom buttons (+) (-) for increasing and decreasing the zoom level below the Zoom combo box on the Toolbar.
The NMEA input can now be displayed. This uses the old AutoPilot output window which has now been renamed to "Show NMEA Input & Output" and moved to the Moving Map menu.
The size of the grid line labels when printing can now be specified.
Shape files (.shp) can now be imported even if there is no DBF file with them.
Img2Ozf Utility
Fixed a color problem with PNG Images
Fixed a memory leak, the more images that were processed in a session the more RAM that was used.
Deletes the temp file (.$$$) when the processing is done
More meaningful text in the status line as the image is processed
Saves the various settings of zoom levels etc.
