always fully loaded into memory. This means that TIF, BSB, Maptech and OZF maps are fully
loaded into RAM (instead of being paged from disk), these maps can be quite large and there is a
chance your computer may run out of resources while loading the image, in these cases the loading
will be aborted.
Moving Map User Defined Pointers
There are 3 user pointers which can be selected on the Moving Map tab in Configuration.
If Selecting User 1 the pointer will be read from a file called
userPointer1.dat
User 2 from
userPointer2.dat
User 2 from
userPointer3.dat
OziExplorer reads the pointer from the file when moving map is started.
The drawing consists of a set of points which have lines drawn between them.
There is a limit on the size of the drawing, if it is too big it will be clipped when drawn onto the map.
Use the example below as a for the size.
