Using Google maps with Oziexplorer

[betomax]

Gmap Maker, is a useful program to download, convert and calibrate maps from google,

here is it the main windows, just select the map area to create you own calibrated .map as Oziexplorer needs, click on 'map', draw using the mouse an rectangular area and select map type and zoom level, from 5-to-9 is good for me, then press 'go' button, and voila !



two map files where generated, .map(coordinate data) and .jpg (image data), put un your 'Maps' directory and reindex your maps under 'map' menu of Oziexplorer,



Now you can go out Hunting with your netbook, your GPS and you will get so detailed map as you want !

Betomax, I have downloaded the app. Please help me a little. Where am I going to find the map files you mention? Also, why do I want to use this app instead of just printing maps off of my TOPO app? Is a netbook a device such as an ebook? I am always looking for and exploring with new ways to store and use maps but I am a bit less saavy than your average bear! Please help me out with a more contextual explanation. Tnx. TTC
