Hello - Just thought I'd let you know ...
Changes in this latest revison included
Added support for the UBD Australian City maps. Only the
new "Australian City Streets Version 3" maps are supported. See the
Australian page of our web site for details.
Added support for Projects - a Project can be defined which includes
a map and various data files. Projects can be created and saved and
the map and all the data files are loaded when the Project is
loaded.. The Project Manager option is located on the Options menu.
Added support for reading and writing GPX files, the options are on
the Load and Save menus. These options can also be installed on the
User Toolbar.
Added support for Google Earth - reading and writing KML files ;
view waypoints and tracks in Google Earth ; show current map
position in Google Earth. These options can also be installed on the
User Toolbar
.
Added the ability to join tracks together, this option is located on
the "More Options" button on the Track Control toolbar.
A new option is provided on the 3D / Elevation menu (OziExplorer3D
must be installed) to download SRTM height data for the region of
map being viewed.
Increased the number of user datums supported from 10 to 30.
In Configuration the number of Com Ports has been increased to 50.
Have Fun

I get an "Access Violation at. . . ." when I try to import a GPX file, haven't tried KMLs yet because I don't use Google Earth.. The forum you got the original quote from is also reporting the same thing happening to others with GPX files. What about you, any luck?

I tried loading a small GPX file - no problems. Larger one - "Access violation"
Save Waypoints as KML file, worked ok.
View Data in Google Earth worked ok with 4 random waypoints.
View Map position in Google Earth centres the Google Earth image at the displayed map centre.
I see some more high res imaging has been added to Google Earth.

Word has it that the problem has been fixed, but you will need to download the new version again, it is still version 3.95.4j, might have been useful if it was bumped to 3.95.5j or something so you can tell the difference. Apparently there is no mention of the fix on the Ozi site, so you will just have to take it as read and hope it works - and from all accounts it does.
