UBD Australian City Streets V3 DVD
Recent announcements by several suppliers indicate that the Australian City Streets Version 3 (by UBD) is now available on DVD....
From one supplier, the GPSOZ website, areas covered include:
- Adelaide
- Brisbane
- Canberra
- Melbourne
- Newcastle
- Perth
- Sydney
- Wollongong
- Hobart
- Darwin
- regions of Blue Mountains and NSW Central Coast
By the looks of the screenshots for several areas, they seem to be excellent resolution However the best news seems to be that there are OZI map files available
Has anyone purchased these yet and can add some comments on their quality?

As a last resort, I am hoping someone can shed some light in this forum on a problem I am having with Ozi and UBD. I downloaded the map files from the Ozi site. I upgraded Ozi to the latest version, one upgrade beyond which is required to use the UBD maps (version 3.95.4k). Every time I try to load the UBD maps into Ozi, I get the same protection error 103, preceded by a notification that "OziExp caused an invalid page fault in module UBDMAPDLL.dll at 0177:o5c8ef36". There is a string of other info after this, but it's all double dutch to me. I have contacted Des Newman about this, also Alex, who I bought Ozi and UBD from. Neither has heard of this error occuring before. To make matters worse, I recently successfully reformatted my hard drive, reinstalling everything, but the problem persists. UBD Aussie City Streets works fine by itself, as does Ozi with Natmap Raster. I thought the *.dll file may have been the problem, and have redownloaded the map files from the Ozi site and GPSOZ. No difference. Could my older system and OS be the problem? I have a PIII 450MHz, 128Mb RAM, Win98SE, with around 5GHz free of the 10GHz hard disk. Hopefully a new computer isn't too far away, but until then, I'd really like to use these two products together. Thanks in advance.

Considering that the dll that is reporting the error is the one that appears to handle the UBD maps I would suggest that this dll is not liking WIN98SE if all other parts of Ozi is working on your system.
I would suggest uninstalling Ozi again and making sure that particular dll is not anywhere on your drive and if you know what you are doing making sure that the windows system does not have anything left that knows about the dll. It may be necessary to manually delete the dll from the hard drive.
If a reinstall of Ozi does not fix the problem then you may have to wait for the new system you indicated was not far away. The writers of the dll may not have fully tested it on your older OS so it may be using something that is not available to your OS. There also is the posibility that the dll does not like to be on a P3 and would work happily if you were running on a P4 instead.

We bought this map set and have it happily running from within OZiexplorer. (This is under WinXP J_&_J). I like it a lot as you get a lot more detail in the maps compared to Mapsource. Roads have width, easements to parks and powerlines are shown, walking and bike tracks annotated. All good things when planning a hunt.
From withing Ozi you have to open the map for Brisbane, Sydney etc but it is seamless after that. The full map extent is shown in the birdseye and the panning is essentially instantaneous.
For SE Queenslanders, the Brisbane map extends north to the Sunshine Coast, south to the Gold Coast and west past Ipswich.
From quick inspection the level of detail is similar between the cities. and ss far as I can tell it is equivalent to what you would get in the printed edition but with seamless edges.
In summary, if you own Ozi for your PC and live in one of the big cities, then I would recommend this as money well spent. The path of PQ->Gsak->Ozi has always been easy. Now add street level mapping to that.

We've got the UBD dvd, we've got the most recent Ozi, we've got the calibration files but we can't get ozi and ubd to cooperate! I keep getting an error message the image type .CMP is not supported in this version. It's a map file of Brisbane!
Or I select a Sydney map, I get a message saying the file cannot be found. Exactly the same process for both maps, but different errors. And no maps in Ozi .
Can any of you cleverer Ozi/UBD users shed any light?

OziExplorer versions 3.95.4j and later versions can load the maps from the DVD.
which version are you running?
