We enjoy sharing our OziExplorer knowledge with those who wish to enter the exciting world of digital mapping - this is one way of making new friends and it is for us very enjoyable. Furthermore, it allows us to give something back to the recreation (4WD touring) we have enjoyed since the mid 80's and continue to enjoy.
Training sessions are regularly held for members of our recreational group, The Toyota Landcruiser Club of Australia (VIC) Inc and training days can be arranged for other clubs/groups (regardless of their interest) around Australia as required at times when we are nearby - contact us.
A series of OziExplorer screen prints with help notes are available free for download below. Some useful links are also provided. These files focus on the basics of setup, configuration and the use of Waypoint Files and Track Files with a defined objective of simply helping a newcomer to get started. Some more advanced activities are also included to further assist those who are seeking more.
