    Finally worked it out on Friday night.
    Have to two digit Easting and Northing in save set point then high light the XXs XXXXXXE XXXXXXXN that shows up and put the ones you want in then save set point again,
    Had to do this for each of the three before i moved on to the next one. If i did all three points then tried to change then it wigged out.

    Great thread

    Thanks for the help

    Sweet, glad you got it working. Yeah mm's bloody good but does seem a bit idiosyncratic just to get it set up, once it's going it's all good.

    Top right on tablet should be a menu then settings then units. Should change elevation to merers too.

    read this thread a few times ...... it all seems to much like hard work lol

    why don't we build a data base of sharing map files.

    some of them would be great addition to the mud maps 2 app.

    It is a bit of work but, copyright would be illegal and morally too in my opinion especially for the small map companies like rooftops. It's pretty much just the one guy who maps and field checks everything, that's why there's so much detail and info on his maps. I don't think it would be right to distribute free maps for everyone given the work that goes in.

    Maybe I'm being old fashioned but you seem to appreciate things it a bit more after a bit of work has been put in. I'm sure people are pirating maps but don't think we should encourage it here.

    i understand what your saying and i agree fully. I already have a load of rooftops paper maps as do a lot of people.
    It was just an idea since they don't do digital maps for which i would gladly pay for if they did.
    I just don't have the patience to do it myself.

    Yeah fair enough. It's a shame they don't produce digital maps there'd certainly be a very good market for it. Not a bad idea but still not sure how you'd get around the legalities & technicalities tho. It is kind rewarding doing them yourself or you could just pay someone to do the hard yards if you can find someone who's happy to do them! !

    Apparently he used to do digital maps but then had big trouble with people pirating them and removed them from the market.

    Been in contact with a guy who supplies the maps for a donation...... only problem is the format and i don't wish to waste my money
    Here's the email ...................
    Dear Colin...

    yes.. I just ask for a donation.. as it cost me a fair bit to set up..

    34 of the latest maps

    I have them saved and calibrated for Ozi explorer.. in OZF4 format.... and also have them in jpeg and tiff calibrated for Ozi... so if you ever also require just an image to calibrate or print... they are i nthe right format

    I only ask $50 which inc. postage and USB stik..

    if interested just email me your address... I can email details for direct debit... or just email or ring through your c/card
