I bought one of these gizmos back in mid 2007 and haven't had that much use for it except to find addresses (Sydney etc on "do we really have to go there?" occasions)

I decided to read the manual finally and to see what it would do, and was
surprised at two things,......it doubles as an FM radio and also MP3
playback through your tugs speakers. (I think I have that right)

The other thing is, I went to update the software and found that it is no longer supported and there is no Google link to the website listed in the manual.
They have vanished from the internet and I wondered what I could do with it now.
Can I load Ozi-Explorer onto these, and is it of any use? (I am not that
savvy with them BTW)

Any snippet of info on it would be much appreciated

Robert

I believe the SL350F uses the same operating system and maps as the Mio c310,

It uses a Windows CE operating system.

the logic gear GPS will definitely run ozi explorer
It runs on windows ce operating system.
I think from memory limit is 2 meg sd card on the 350.
I had 4.3" unit working well with ozi but on off switch is nackered.
have to use a bent paperclip to turn on and off so bought another chinese ce gps with better street navigation ie Igo software for well under $200 and use the same card i used in the logic gear unit.
cheers

Thanks for the responses, I am very grateful.

It looks like I might be better off, firstly having some instruction on the use-age and benefits of a mapping program, like Ozi-explorer and then have it loaded onto a serviceable well known GPS unit.

I am not likely to be a desert wanderer, but I would like to be able to know how to use a navigation system for safety's sake and geograhical interest.

I am one of these "older" people, who because I am a bit dim at times, need a face to face explanation for technical stuff, so is there a store with KNOWLEDGEABLE staff, who can explain how these things work and offer some guidance into what is the best GPS unit for my particular needs?
