What works
It seems most functions workas they should. I'm using OziExplorer Trial for map calibration - and (apart from large map files problem) it seems everything is ok.
What does not
Loading large map files (10k x 10k pixels on my machine).
What was not tested
GPS navigation.
Additional Comments
Same behavior for large maps on Wine 1.0.1 and 1.1.23.
From wine-0.9.9 ozi work incorrect. magnifyer and mapView window became black. On amd64 wine-0.9.12 work correct.

Large map files problem
by Marcin on Tuesday June 9th 2009, 14:46
There is a problem opening large map files for calibration (small maps work fine). In order to reproduce:
- select File|Load and calibrate map image
- select png image of 10000x10000 pixels (ca 0.5GB uncompressed).
- Error Loading Image dialog appears.
My machine has 2GB of RAM. Maps of half size specified above seem to work correctly. Problem appears regardles of image format (tested using png/jpg).
Ozi should handle such a big images without problems (such a map can be successfully opened by ozi running on XP machine with 256MB RAM).
Tested on Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04, Wine 1.0.1 and 1.1.23. Confirmed by some other guys from local GPS forum.
At the moment I've stuck with my girlfirend's XP :(. Problem is that most good maps are much larger than that...
runtime error
by ArthurB on Thursday March 19th 2009, 4:33
Apparently I am the only one on the internet who can't run this program with wine. It installs fine, but when I try to start it a message pops up: "runtime error 216 at 000032E0". Any suggestion? this is driving me crazy. By the way, I'm using wine 1.1.14.
OziExplorer GPS communication setup
by Dmitry Savvateev on Saturday August 30th 2008, 5:09
I configured OziExplorer as described here (GPS connected via USB, modprobe garmin_gps; ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1), and communication was very slow until I switched 'Serial Port Driver' in OziExplorer to 'Driver 1'. That fixed the problem.
Issues with hanging
by scotte on Friday October 6th 2006, 11:07
With help from the other posts here, I've got this installed and running, but I have lots of issues with hangs.
I'm running on Wine 0.9.22 with Ozi 3.95.4m. It hangs when trying to use various options, such as choosing a GPS type, adding directories to the list of locations for map images, that sort of thing. The only output is the following, and it doesn't crash, the app just hangs...
Ozi working with Garmin USB GPS
by Rui Ruas on Friday July 7th 2006, 19:47
Hi,
I followed Stephen B's instructions and the program worked (thanks Stephen!). Now I just had to setup the gps... Apparently, serial comunication works fine, but I can't guarantee it because my GPS connects through USB.
If your GPS connects through serial COM, you must only remember that in linux, COM1=/dev/ttyS0, COM2=/dev/ttyS1, etc.
In the case of USB connection (I use a "Garmin GPS60"), Gamin drivers are already built into Ubuntu kernel, so Linux should recognize the device. If not, you can download the Garmin drivers for Linux.
After connecting the GPS, run "dmesg" to find out: you should see lines like these:
.....
[17193444.360000] usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
[17193444.560000] garmin_gps 1-3:1.0: Garmin GPS usb/tty converter detected
[17193444.560000] usb 1-3: Garmin GPS usb/tty converter now attached to ttyUSB0
.....
The problem is OziExplorer doesn't recognize "/dev/...", so we can get around the problem making a "sym link" from "COM to USB". I chose COM3 to avoid interference with other things (COM3=/dev/ttyS2).
In the terminal, type:
sudo ln -sb /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS2
(the "b" option makes a backup copy of ttyS2 in case you want to "get back")After that, you must start Oziexplorer again and:
In "Ozi", go to the menu "File" > "Configuration" > "GPS" and choose your GPS make and model.
Then, under "COM" choose COM3, leave the "Garmin USB" or other UNCHECKED (this way, the software "thinks" the GPS is under COM3...)
SAVE the configuration and exit.
ITS DONE!!! By now, you must be able to comunicate to and from the GPS, and have Oziexplorer working just fine!
I hope this will help someone...

Working!
by Stephen B on Tuesday November 8th 2005, 16:31
Installed a charm.
When I first ran it crashed, however this change in the oziexp.ini fixes it (It disables the tooltips at the start):
[Help]
Show Start=0
Getting Started=0
Had it talking to my GPS, (was logged in as root at the time tho), loaded maps.
