OziExplorer will not work with the
Eagle AccuNav Sport
and similar models, these use a
upload/download protocol which OziExplorer does not support. To enable these GPS models to be
used OziExplorer can write data files for the
WS1
software produced by Lowrance. Only Waypoints
and Events are written to the files at this stage. Note that Oziexplorer cannot create these files it
simply writes the data into a pre
-existing file.
OziExplorer
cannot
upload or download
tracks
for the
Lowrance Global Map 12
and similar
models, these use a protocol for the tracks which is not supported by OziExplorer.
There is a program available called G7ToWin which can read tracks from these units and also write
them to direct to OziExplorer track files.
Another option for these units is that OziExplorer can read and write from and to the clipboard in the
format used by the latest GPS Data Manager software (GDM) available from the Lowrance and
Eagle web sites, by using the GDM software to cut and paste to and from the clipboard the tracks can
be uploaded and downloaded between OziExplorer and the GPS via GDM.

6. Set the GPS Upload/Download Datum to WGS 84 (almost always). Most Lowrance and
Eagles always send their data and expect their data positions to be referenced to the WGS 84

receive their data referenced to whatever datum you have the GPS set to, for these units set the
GPS Upload/Download datum to match the setting in the GPS.
