lorance gps data help neede

Sorry can't help in any way I'm a Garmin man and that's one of the reasons I steer clear of Navmans,Lowrance Silva's etc. Magellan is the other well known brand but I have not used them but the software for Magellan and Garmin is compatible with PCs and the units are OziExplorer friendly, their softwares can be used on the Laptop or PC for many tasks.
Just trying to wonder if there is a lowrance website where you could get the drivers to open the file , have you tried doing a 1 right click and the selecting OPEN WITH and select CHOOSE PROGRAM ....but if you aint got the right program it aint gonna work. have a poke in this link www.lowrance.com/Software/default.asp

I just checked my OziExplorer in the FILE / Configuration /GPS tab / GPS Make Tab and Lowrance is recognised by OziExplorer but you have to tell it you have one like i had to download an update from OziExplorer so it would recognise my Garmin Quest, I will get back to you in about 10 mins with a link to some screen shots taken with a Widget

Jay Gee, I have been trying to do the same with a mates Lowrance recently.
If I remember right, configure Oziexplorer for the appropriate model Lowrance and then you will get a drop down box when you hit lowerance on the toolbar.
I think that is where you wil see the usr file import option.
I also use a Garmin and dont know much about the Lowrances. It may depend on what model it is to get the right options in Oziexplorer.
Hope this helps a bit.

OK Jay Gee

Check this link out but you probably already know this , I don't know if you do or not Site Link

Hello - havent used it myself but try

www.gpsu.co.uk/index.html

Standard Edition imports urs files..if you are trying to get data into OziExplorer try exporting (once imported) as gpx or shape file and then importing into OziExplorer.

Cheers
Greg

Bu**er me I mean "usr"

gpsbabel will handle the conversion to an oziexplorer track file if that's what you want.
