The Old Story, How do I get the UBD Maps to run on OZI
Now I know we have all been thru this before and I even have a fully running desktop PC with Oze plus UBD V3 maps and everything works Ok, but..
I had to reinstall windows on the laptop recently and I cannot get the UDB V3 maps to work in OZE. It was working before Ok but it won't now.
I am running XP with 1 gig of ram and plenty of hard disk space. I have copied all the settings from the desktop and put them in the same places on the laptop.
I have pasted the UBD dll file everywhere that I think it might help but to no avail. When I open OZE and then try to open up the Melbourne.map file, all I get is a dialog box stating.. "Path to UBD maps could not be determined".
I have changed the paths in Oze Config setup and I have also pasted the converter into Oze and reconverted the maps, but to no avail.
I do get the map in the preview window, but not in the main window.
And yes I have read all the old threads.
Anyone got any other ideas (or better maps)?

Tried that last night. Even downloaded another set-up file to re-convert the maps again to no avail. I had this same problem on my mates laptop and that did not work, although we deduced he did not have enough ram (256mg). But i have 1 gig (checked that it still works). And it worked on this one less than a week ago (before I upgraded my CA Security suite, big mistake there).Mr Router wrote:Gday ! have a look around http://www.oziexplorer.com/there could be some missing map files that you need to sync it all together
But what gets me the most is that you can see all the maps in the "Map View" window but there is nothing in the main screen.
Any more ideas anyone.

try downloading this file and run it
http://www.oziexplorer3.com/xtras/ubd_r ... _setup.exe
This converts the maps for ozi. It worked for me.

I tried the file ubd_city_streets_v3_mapfiles_setup.exe from this web site and that does not work. The one you are suggesting is for the regional maps which I do not have but I suppose it may work.Crisp image wrote:try downloading this file and run it

Other than that I keep thinking that it may be just a setting, because of the dialog box "Path to UBD maps could not be determined"
Hmm I have just tried your link and it is a 74 meg download!!
I will let you know it that works.

I get to see the maps in the "Map View" window but not in the main screen. It has to be a setting somewhere even though I have checked the configuration settings against the main PC and they are both the same.
I tried the menu option under File "Change image File Name, Path & Drive" but in the top box where you change the Image File location it asks for image files not map files.
I guess the OE forum is the next place to go, or uninstall both of them and then do a re-install to see if that works.

Have already done that yesterday and that did not work.Skippy&lambchops wrote:Do you need to copy the UBD maps to Map folder in Ozi and is the image path looking t the right map folder
I have the older UBD maps which are in Ozf format, not sure what the newer UBD maps are
Have made sure the map image path in the config file points to the location of the main maps and the second location points to the UBD maps under OZI.
Now there is a file location that I mentioned above re Images. IE Change Image File name, path & drive. But the UBD maps are in .map file extensions and not in an image file extension like .bmp.
What does your read?

Well to everybody concerned I think I have solved the problem
Whilst uninstalling the UBD program (again-I usually copy the entire install disc to the HD and then install of that, saves having to keep putting the DVD in each time) I noticed that the version I had was missing about a gig of data.
So after copying over the entire disc again and re-installing UBD again, eveything seems to be working Ok now.
So thanks to everyone for all their help.
Cheers,
Iain
