When your GPS is connected directly to a computer and the GPS is sending the NMEA $GPRMC or
($GPGGA and $GPVTG) or ($GPGLL and $GPVTG) sentence OziExplorer can plot your location
directly onto the map on screen in real time, this is called "Moving Map". You must have a
calibrated map available which covers the position the GPS is sending.
Software Simulator -
For testing, a software simulator is provided in OziExplorer and details on how
to use this are provided below.
Moving Map has the following features.
Ability to automatically change maps when your position moves off the current map or across
the map "neat lines". The "neat lines" (corner markers) are set up in "Check Map Calibration".
OziExplorer can be set to scan for more detailed maps at configured intervals and load a more
detailed map if one is available, Note - you do not have to cross the map "neat line" for this to
occur.
Ability to show the track onscreen (called the Track Tail) and log the track direct to a file.
Ability to sound and show alarms when approaching waypoints.
Ability to sound and show alarms when entering
Alarm Zones.
Ability to navigate along a predefined route or to a specific waypoint, see
Navigation.
Setting up Maps for Use with Moving Map
When you move off the current map OziExplorer will search through the available maps and select a
map which can show the GPS position and provides the best scale. If a suitable map cannot be found
OziExplorer will wait 15 seconds and search again, then 30 seconds and search again and then 60
seconds between searches.
Maps are setup for use in Moving Map by default. If necessary, changes can be made in the map
calibration screen. See the
Moving Map Options
of the
Creating Maps help
for details and
explanation.
