Search HQ	SHQ communicates with OZI using application interface (API) software and data in Windows files. The "map-click" feature allows you to click locations on a map in OZI and they are automatically sent to SHQ, without the need to type in the Latitude and Longitude data. When you create a search pattern in SHQ, a waypoint file and a route file are created, and they are automatically loaded and displayed in OZI. The tool can shorten launch times
