Is this tif map a Geotiff (containing calibration info)?
Have you "loaded" and/or calibrated the map file from the File menu in Ozi?

Depending on how much info is available the geotif tags, it is fairly
straight forward loading a GeoTiff in Ozi.
If there is not sufficient info in the tags (which is often the case), you
might need to help Ozi by providing the missing info.

If the map is only a tif image without geotags, you will need to calibrate
it.

See the section on "Importing DRG maps" in the Ozi help file (under Map
Related).

Dave, As Hans has sugegcted the dll must be inside the Ozi root follder and the tif must be imported so that a .map file is generated. This can be done easily...

Thanks a lot, Hans & Maurizio. Importing as a DRG worked like a charm. It must have had calibration info because it worked first time. Cheers Dave Raulstone ...
