Installation

Download

From the table on the web page download the appropriate install file which suites your PDA.

The options are

• Windows Mobile 5, Windows Mobile 6 (Windows Mobile Classic and Professional) for Pocket PC, all Makes and Models
• Pocket PC 2000, Pocket PC 2002 and Pocket PC 2003, all Makes and Models.
• PDA's running Windows CE OS 3, 4 or 5 Core and Handheld PC 2000 all makes and Models.
  See the PDA Faq on our website OziExplorerCE support page for information on PND's.
  
  Not supported : Windows Mobile 6 Standard (for phones with small non-touch screens)

The installation program will install the correct version of the software to suit the cpu type and Windows CE version of your PDA.

The install file is a self extracting exe program which when run on your PC will install OziExplorer onto your PDA. If you use the wrong install file you will receive a message that the program does not support the connected device type.

Suggested Folders

By default OziExplorerCE will be installed into a folder called OziExplorer on the "root" of the file system ("\OziExplorer 2").

It is suggested that you use the default to keep the file path names to a manageable length during operation of OziExplorerCE.

All the additional "common" files will be installed in folders attached to the OziExplorer 2 folder.

Installation Steps

PDA's which use ActiveSync

1. Download the installation file to suit your PDA type.
2. Connect your PDA to the PC using ActiveSync.
3. Run the installation on the PC and you will be prompted to install OziExplorerCE file to your PDA.
4. Read the OziExplorerCE help available on the web site.
5. Read the Tutorial in the help file. This is in the help available on the web site and also available in the subset of the full help available in OziExplorerCE on the CE device.
6. Select the map(s) you already have created in the full OziExplorer you want to use.
7. If the maps are in a format other than one of the supported formats - ozf2, ozfx3, ecw, jpg, png and bmp they must be converted to the special OziExplorer ozfx3 format using the Img2ozf program.  This program is available from the web site www.oziexplorer.com (Note: Because the code libraries available only suit the ARM cpu the ECW support is only available for PDA's with ARM cpu's.)
   The image formats jpg, png and bmp are fully loaded into memory so the images must be small. It is highly recommended maps in jpg, png and bmp format are converted to OZFx3 using the Img2Ozf conversion software. 
8. Copy the image files and (.map) files to your PDA. Note the .map files will work with the converted image without change, the Image file path and extension are adjusted by OziExplorerCE.
9. Run OziExplorerCE and configure, making sure you set the Image File Path(s) and Map File Path(s) & Data File Path. Set other configuration options as required.

PDA's which DO NOT use ActiveSync

If your PDA does not use ActiveSync (it is a WinCE core device) then you can use the runtime download of OziExplorerCE. The runtime download must be unzipped and then copied to a memory card which is used in your PDA.
