Ozi is available in a trial version. There are also lots of other
waypoint programs which will load Ozi files. You'll need a waypoint
manager program to automatically download the waypoints into your GPS,
so just make sure it supports Ozi format files.

 Speak of the devil and he shall appear. :-)

 As mentioned on the site, gpsbabel will convert to just about anything you
want.  G7To will convert to a variety of formats, and will upload to Garmin GPS
receivers as well.

 I've supplied it in Ozi waypoint format, mainly because I'm biased, but also
because it's a pretty easy to understand comma delimited format, which can be
adapted to other formats with a bit of manipulation.

 I have to rely on reports I get from other users.  However, I'm pretty strict
on what I get and put in, so that I don't get invalid entries appearing.  In
fact, the 'maintenance' version of the waypoint files will tell you if the
camera location needs verification.

 There are a number of different suppliers of speed camera locations in
australia, the ones with the most numbers appear to be the most lacking in
quality and useability.

 That's the whole reason I started this in the first place.  I wasn't happy
with the flexibility, comprehensiveness or accuracy of existing lists.
 It's the most complete, up-to-date and *free* list available.

 However, if you know of cameras that aren't on the list, feel free to email
me, I need the datum, lat/long or UTM co-ordinates of the camera, or, the two
cross streets and suburb (I have maps of most areas around the country), speed
at that location, and direction of cameras.
