I had two possibility: buy a new one or find a suitable Android application. The second was the cheaper. I looked around the Android market because I knew no Oziexplorer application on Android. First I downloaded the TwoNav from the CompeGPS team but it&#8217;s free for two week only (after 42 EUR).<\/p>\n<p>I wrote the Oziexplorer into the Android Market&#8217;s search box and the result was the <strong>Androzic<\/strong> app. The application promised what I need:<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;OziExplorer maps for Android. Tracking, waypoints, routes, navigation. Navigation client that uses OziExplorer maps (ozf2, ozfx3). Great for hiking, geocaching, off-roading, sailing, boating and other outdoor activities. You are expected to be aware of OziExplorer or at least of where to get its maps. Maps also can be created by yourself, but with some afford, see FAQ for details. Can work without maps as a simple navigator.&#8217;<\/p><!--CusAds0-->\n<p>Before using I had to convert the map file to Oziexplorer formats (ozf). The Androzic compatible with <strong>Img2ozf 3.03<\/strong> or older version only. You may download the <a title=\"Img2ozf 3.03\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/kmrmwr9ue4dw8iz\/img2ozf_setup_303.rar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Img2ozf 3.03 from<\/a>\u00a0(or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/svv5ywlgigp6ab1\/img2ozf_setup_208.rar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Img2ozf 2.08)<\/a>\u00a0here\u00a0what I used and tested. If you are using ozf file already then in the Oziexplorer check your map&#8217;s projection: File \/ Check Calibration of Map. It works with Latitude\/Longitude projection only (today version is 0.9.18b).<\/p>\n<p>I had Androzic with calibrated Oziexplorer map already and it works well! \ud83d\ude42 I used it for maping, waypoints for target places and navigation too. Everything was fine.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Androzic, OziExplorer maps for Android\" src=\"http:\/\/www.balloon.hu\/mainpicts\/device6.jpg\" alt=\"Androzic, OziExplorer maps for Android\" width=\"240\" height=\"400\" \/>Androzic application features:<br \/>\n\u2022 map index, switch between maps, zoom, drag<br \/>\n\u2022 works without maps as a simple navigator<br \/>\n\u2022 show current position, speed, course, elevation<br \/>\n\u2022 look ahead<br \/>\n\u2022 show current track, write track into file<br \/>\n\u2022 track recording in background (power-safe)<br \/>\n\u2022 edit track, view track details<br \/>\n\u2022 full track support<br \/>\n\u2022 full waypoint support<br \/>\n\u2022 full route support<br \/>\n\u2022 convert track to route<br \/>\n\u2022 project new waypoint<br \/>\n\u2022 create new or edit existing route<br \/>\n\u2022 load and save data files in in native ozi format<br \/>\n\u2022 load waypoints, tracks and routes in KML and GPX format<br \/>\n\u2022 navigation to waypoint and via route<br \/>\n\u2022 HSI and compass displays<br \/>\n\u2022 units configurable<br \/>\n\u2022 load best scale map automatically<br \/>\n\u2022 load arbitrary map<br \/>\n\u2022 show map and user grids<br \/>\n\u2022 search coordinates in various formats<br \/>\n\u2022 search waypoints, tracks, routes<br \/>\n\u2022 search locations via Google geocoder<br \/>\n\u2022 trackball and D-pad support<br \/>\n\u2022 portrait and landscape modes<br \/>\n\u2022 configurable paths<\/p>\n<p>Two things is missing for me from the application:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>not supported the UTM\/UPS grid projection and no show UTM coordinates.<\/li>\n<li>no waypoints&#8217; altitude<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I&#8217;m using it with a Samsung Galaxy S and I very like it.
