will run in WinCE and view my marine charts.


Ozi Explorer-CE does a good job, it will user raster charts like the
MapTech BSB charts. The charts have to be converted using Ozi Explorer
PC before they can be used with Ozi Explorer-CE.

The trial version of Ozi Explorer did the conversion of the Maptech
charts for me, did I did not need to buy both Ozi PC and Ozi CE. I
think this is because the MapTech charts either contain or are
accompanied by another file with the chart calibration data. If you
don't have that data, you may need the registered version of Ozi
Explorer PC to import or scan map images and calibrate them yourself.

As the Ozi Explorer site recommends, try it with the trial versions
first to make sure it all works. The conversion process seems a little
convoluted at first but once you get your chart library converted you
don't need to do it again.

It is a pretty nifty little program, it will shift to adjoining charts
automatically as you proceed. Building routes and placing waypoints is
best done on a PC with a mouse, keyboard, larger display, etc., but once
that is done the routes can be transferred to the CE version for use.

Thanks, and merry xmas.

And the same to you Sir!
