Loading waypoints into Google Earth

To all that use Ozi-Explorer as the main mapping program.


Within Ozi there is a link to load all your ozi data from Ozi to Google E you just have to load the Google buttons on your Ozi Toolbar it will look like this.

If you load all your Data on to a map in Ozi you can now view it all in Google E or you can save it as a KML file and then open GE and load it or save it to a folder and load then all later.







If you click on save


You can save them and load them later in GE


You also can click on save Button and then down to Export to GE and do it that way.

This maybe a silly question, but how do I get the google earth buttons onto my Oziexplorer tool bar

Dave it's not silly

click on File/Customize toolbar buttons



then find then on the left side then click the ADD button and they will move to the right side then close the window off and you should see them

Ok yes, now when I try that the google earth button is not there. I may need to update to a later version of Ozie, as mine is 3.95.3c I guess it is fairly old now.

What version do I need or what do you recommend

Dave it is Free to just update Ozi so go to there website and you will see the latest one download it to your PC then just click on it and it will load over your old one with no lost of data.

Version 3.95.5g

Ok will do that

As I use a few different mapping programs, I have found saving waypoints as GPX files in Ozi is another choice. Google Earth also gives you this option too. For those that are interested KMZ files can be unziped into KML files with PKZIP programs.

Hi Detrac

I always used to switch between GE and OzE to try and find the specific spot on each program. This post is the best thing after sliced bread!

Thanks again.

PS. With my GPS and Moving Map now sorted, I am starting to get a grip on all the gadgets!

Next time post on the Led's (there is a ozi Heading there) and I will be there to tell you I bet your still playing with it all now.

Once I finish this special Map of Tibooburra I will PM you with some good Google overlay's and Ozi Data
just incase you get back there this year.


Will post other ticks that some may not know how to do.
