Not waving. Drowning!

#1 Have the map open
#2 Click on File then "Check calibration of map"
#3 Click "Options" on the right hand side of the screen
#4 Then Browse the files (track and/or waypoints) you want to attach to the map and save it all.

Each time you load that map, the track will be there.

Not done automatically.

However, one way that I think you could do it is to create a project under options. There is a check box for "auto load this project" which in theory should auto load any maps, tracks and waypoints etc that you have saved under the project.

If it works, and you only use on main map, it would be a good option. If you have more detailed maps that you may use for a particular are, you can just 'search for more detailed maps at this location' and use those as required.

Good luck

Fizz,
I know of only one way to do it but it won't work in all situations. There probably are better solutions that I don't know about which I look forward to reading about in responses to this post - hopefully.
My method:
Load the relevant map, waypoints and tracks in to Ozi. Once this is done, in the File menu, select Save Map to Image File. There's a bit more to do such as selecting the type of image (Colour, Black and White, and Run Img2Ozf program), select Color Image. Next step is to save the file as a BMP or PNG file and save it to where you can find it again. Once the new map is generated you will need to go through the "Load and Calibrate Map Image" process in the File menu in Ozi.

This whole process wont work with large map files such as the NATMAP RASTER for example. There are ways around that but that's another story. (You export the required image from the NATMAP Raster viewer that comes with the package and export as a geotiff file which can then be imported into Ozi as a single DRG Map, already calibrated).

I hope that makes sense and good luck.

Thanks heaps!!!

I just tried Phil's 4-stage routine and it worked perectly.

I'll now try to digest the other ideas that have been put up.

This site seems to be a magnet for thoroughly decent people who time and time again put themselves out to help other members. It is a great privilege to be a member of ExplorOz.

I hope I'll meet some of you out along the Oodnadatta, Painted desert, Anne Beadell, Connie Sue, Gunbarrell, Simpson in Jul, Aug. - White Troopy and brand new silver Terracan - will be on Ch 10.
