' bsbfull.dat' - The same as above but for BSB files. ' tripmate.dat' - OziExplorer will look for a tripmate GPS when it starts moving map (nmea) mode. 'showxy.dat' - OziExplorer will show the x,y pixel coordinates of the map image on the status line, this is useful when using OziExplorer to setup image calibration for use in other software. The file(s) must have the above names and be placed in the same folder as the OziExplorer exe file.
