OziCE development version 2.00 released

[Map Monkey]

A new version of OziExplorerCE is available for download from the OziCE Development page.

Development Version 2.00 (December 2007)

Changes

There have been numerous changes, below is a list of just some of the major ones.

- Multi page support with screens that can be designed by the user using a program which runs on a PC.
- More than 50 new parameters have been added.
- Profiles for altitude and speed.
- If the Communication Port is set to "Auto" it will search all serial ports at all baud rates for a GPS which is outputting NMEA.
- Compass for navigation to next waypoint.
- 3 Odometers are available for measuring distance.

The biggest feature i suspect for geocachers will the addition of a Compass now. Finally it will be useful to navigate to a cache with a dynamic compass guiding the way whilst using this software.

The other feature which is handy is the auto-search of the Ports for NMEA sentences....handy when playing with several bluetooth GPS'rs.

OziCE has been sometime in beta version and it is nice to see a Development version finally released....it goes to show there is still ongoing development of this handy little package.

Outstanding OziCE now has many of the features that other ppc programs have. With the strength of original mapping that has always been available in Ozi, it will make this program hard to beat!

It only gets better:

Development Version 2.01 (December 2007)

Changes

- For Pocket PC's, full screen mode now works on all pages which have a map on the page.
- Screen Control now works on all pages except the options and satellite view pages.
- If a page file is loaded which is meant for a PDA with a smaller screen, any map windows on the page are expanded until the parameters fill the available area.
If there is no map window on the page the parameters are centered on the screen.
While this does help the best option still is to design a set of pages to suit the screen size of your PDA using the Settings Manager.
This only works with page files created with Version 2.01 of the Settings Manager, if you load them into the Settings Manager and resave they will be ok.
- When put into full screen mode (Pocket PC's only) or the Main Toolbar is turned off the pages are also resized if there is a map window on the page.
- The OziExplorer.key1 file has been fixed and now contains button defaults for the screen control.
- This was in the previous version and wasn't mentioned - the number of loaded waypoints has been increased to 2000 and you can keep loading waypoint files until the limit is reached.
- Changes have also been made to the Settings Manager and a new version is available for download.
- Many other smaller issues have been fixed.

=============================================

Finally can place all of my unfound caches in Qld into the Waypoint file in one go......over 1000
