Re: Ozi Explorer update

I find the 'Auto Set Time' option on the 3rd Tab in General Settings but can't see anything that lets me set the time zone. Mines a Win5.0 device, wonder if that matters?

I'm not currentlty running 2.32 but I'm sure it was the third tabv (don't recall the name) and the default setting for the field was "Windows Time".
I can't really give your more info than that because my PC stuffed up and can't get onto it so I'm currenlty using my kids one. The other one had all my GPS gear on it.

Re: Ozi Explorer update

The timezone setting is in the last tab past the Auto Time check box.

Mines set at GMT +10 for East Coast Australia, timezone Kilo.

Also I think it's getting it's time from the GPS Signals.

And I have not yet had to enter my registration code yet, i'll have to try it on my 4.3" too.

Re: Ozi Explorer update

And for the CE version....................

Release Version 2.32 (December 2009)

Changes

Added support for New Zealand NZTM 2000 grid and datum.
Added time zone support within OziExplorerCE (on the "General Settings" configuration dialog) .
Fixed some compatibility issues with Windows CE 6 (saving of the "General Settings" dialog is fixed).
Fixed issue with missing the last character in the attachment name when reading in waypoints from the waypoint file.
Fixed magnetic variation calculations.
Alerts (which cause an alarm to sound when approaching a waypoint) were a special form of a waypoint proximity. Alerts are now totally separate from waypoint proximities and therefore the proximity distance is no longer set to a negative number.

Re: Ozi Explorer update

I've been a little bit quiet of late....here's some more ozi updates for your info


CE version -

Release Version 2.33/2.33a (June 2010)

Changes

* 2.33a - Fixed freezing issue when language other than English is used with a larger menu size.
* 2.33a - Fixed speed display being incorrect when using managed GPS.
* 2.33a - Fine tuning of parameters and buttons displayed on the map when the map is expanded.
* Fixed issue where the track point time in the track log file was not being stored in UTC time.
* The time zone is now stored in the track log file, the next version of PC OziExplorer will use this entry to display the track points with the time they were collected.
* Added support for the Microsoft "managed" GPS interface for Pocket PC's / Smartphones. If your PDA has a "Managed" GPS then it will always be found first and used when the "Auto" GPS configuration option is specified. If you do not want to use the "Managed" GPS then the GPS port must be selected manually.
* New configuration options have been added in "General Settings" to allow sizes to be specified for the following items (useful for the devices with high pixel density screens).
o Size of the font used for the "Standard menus"
o Size of the Dialogs
o Size of the Toolbars
o Size of the Menubar
o Size of the Keyboard (wince core devices only)
* The screen pages are now resized by scaling to fit the screen rather than by moving the parameters - this givers a better look.
* New API functions have been added for "Start / Stop Navigation" and "Load Route File"


PC VERSION


Fixes

* AIS - Class B vessels now display the name and other parameters.
* There have been a few other minor fixes.

Changes

* Added / fixed support for the Garmin Dakota and Oregon x50 GPS models.
* Added support for the Garmin GPSMAP 78 and 62 models.
* The Garmin Oregon and Colarado can now be used for Moving Map - Set the GPS Interface to "Garmin Spanner" (do not install or start the Garmin Spanner software, it is not needed) - connect to the PC using normal USB cable - on the GPS screen set mass Storage Mode OFF - in OziExplorer configuration make sure "Garmin USB" and "Use PVT for Garmin instead of NMEA" are both checked - start moving map in OziExplorer.
* Added time zone offset into the track files and the offset can be edited in track properties. Any display of a track point time will use the time zone offset if it is available.
* The User Toolbar can now have different sizes. The setting is on the User Toolbar configuration dialog.
* A Find GPS Port button has been added to the GPS tab in OziExplorer configuration. The ports on the PC will be scanned and the information about the GPS found will be displayed so the information can be manually entered into OziExplorer configuration.
* Options for More and Less Detailed Map have been added - the options can be added to the User toolbar or Function keys, they are not available on the standard menus.
* More Internet maps have been added - by opening the Internet map the new maps can be seen on the drop down menu.
* Added option to Internet maps to ignore the cache so new tiles will be downloaded from the internet.
* The help for OziExplorerCE has been removed from the OziExplorer help to reduce confusion between the two programs.
* For Windows Vista and 7 the default folder where OziExplorer stores its system files has been changed to "c:\{user}\.OziExplorer" , this has been done to make it easier for users to find these files (the AppData folder which was used by previous versions is hidden by default in Vista and 7). Please Note - existing installations will still use the same folder they are currently using, this ensures your configuration files will still be found
