Once you have finished please take a look around
the site,
we have some great
4WD Courses and
Campfire Tours.
The pictures below are screen shots
taken
from my own setup in OziExplorer 3D and OziExplorer 3.90.4i.
I use the Garmin 2 Plus GPS. You will need to
change some settings
to suit your own requirements, but I hope the following helps.

Ray Harris

The following screen shots are from

I
have an old Pentium 2 laptop which works fine. I have mounted it
on a board with door seal rubber around the base to take up the
shocks from corrugations. Make sure you cut a few gaps in the
rubber so that the computer can breath or it will overheat. I
have also made a lid/screen support with velcro attached, because
I found that the screen kept banging shut and it broke the
hinges. Almost any computer will do but one's with less than
Pentium 2 are very slow in loading map images.
The best software that I can recommend to
you is Oziexplorer and it's either available from their web site
at
http://www.oziexplorer.com/ or
from the Chart and Map Shop in Collie St Fremantle. Price $130
approx.
You
will also require the latest 2 x CD set of NATMAPS 250,000:1 (530
Maps) again available from the above places. Price $99 approx.
Once you have these you will need to download the 2 sets of
configuration files (FREE) for CD1 & CD2 from the Oziexplorer web
site on the Australian Page.
Please remember,
DON'T rely solely on electronic navigation. Have paper
maps of the areas you intend to visit plus a compass and learn how
to use them.
I have written a couple
of navigation stories for Western 4WDriver magazine in editions 39
& 40 which may be of some assistance. Back issues are available
on line from
http://www.western4wdriver.com.au or I can recommend a good
book called "On Track" by Geoffrey Archer & Raymond Williams
available from Chart and Map Shop in Collie St Fremantle. I
suggest you phone first re price and stock on (08) 9335 8665.
Hope this helps and have a great safe trip.
I trust that these help and shall look
forward to meeting you out on a track.
