ExplorOz Traveller

I previously used HEMA app for my 4WD and motorbike camping trips but stopped using their products after endless IT issues and terrible customer service. I’ve been using ExploreOz for two years now and it’s a fantastic product - user friendly and accurate. The icing on the cake is that you can speak directly with the couple who created and maintain the app. Amazing customer service! ExploreOz is my app of choice after previously using HEMA, Garmin Explore, Gaia, OsmAnd.

I have used this map exclusively on trips and love it. It lives permanently in my car running on an iPad Mini 5 and is great to get a wider picture of where you are. I use Google Maps on the mobile to navigate just because it’s easy but when out of coverage I can always see where I am with the offline vector maps which awesome. Great work,

I know this is a big statement but the upgrade to v9 has shown the ongoing product development that Michelle and David make to ExplorOz. The way they interact with customers directly is a key reason this product has evolved to be a market leader. Others have tried but I believe they have all been outclassed by ExplorOz. I use this app both on road and off road and just love the mapping system. Detail is amazing.

A big Thank You to Michelle for her amazing help and guidance assisting me to understand, navigate, setup and use the App. Being dyslexic and not very tech savvy person I was having a few challenges. I called Michelle quit late in the day (she was just about to have dinner) and she walked me through my issues one step at a time. Michelle’s has the patience of a saint and made me feel very comfortable. I would go as far as saying it was the best phone customer service I have ever experienced. Thank you so much. Very much appreciated. Alex

I have only come across very few bugs, usually fixed in following year’s update. The maps are clear and easy to read, with all the detail you could ask for. Also, if you have an issue and message them, they get back to you as soon as possible and persist until you have issue resolved (both times my error), very impressive service. I love sitting around campfire with this on iPad and examining next day’s travel. Highly recommend this one.

Seriously, yeh the maps are good, but hope to god that the app does not receive an update while you are out 4x4ing in a remote location with intermittent and slow data! Why do you need to prompt me every time my darn phone gets the slightest wiff of reception to update, forcing me to stop driving to close the prompt, because I dont have enough reception to download it. I can spend months on the road and some times it will happen more than 20 times in a day. Who cares if there is an update, ill do it in the app store when I want to, before a trip, not reminding me constantly!!! Please remove the update prompt function from the app!

After spending money on two separate H_ma maps, M Maps, Dirt M_p and a few others, I came across ExploreOZ from AllOfOffroad channel on YouTube. When I realised how information rich ExploreOZ is and not unnecessarily feature rich, I realised I found the ONE. The shared notes, photos, track information is just amazing. The app is way “lighter” than H_ma, less cumbersome and tracks do not disappear straight away when you zoom out. Plus, you can buy a map once and it’s yours. No silly subscription that everybody hates. We all know that. I mean there is subscription but not having it does not render the app useless. The offline map is yours, you bought it, you keep it, you use it. And I LOVE the simple layout. Probably not as beautiful as H_ma but I am using this app for functionality ONLY. Especially in the Simo, the Great Outback where nobody cares if an app has beautiful colours or not, all we care about how not to get lost. Everything is else is unimportant. Well done team. So far the BEST off-road navigation app! Please add Apple Carplay function!

I’ve been using this app on all 3 platforms for some time now. I originally purchased for a Kimberley trip and added the PC version after the web app had features removed. I’m now looking at something else for my main navigation tool. This app is fine as a planning tool when in 4G or 5G mobile range or with wifi available, but outside of that it’s too unreliable. I have been caught out several times with the app needing a data purge and redownload to get functionality back which renders the app next to useless as a navigation tool and when living and travelling in the Pilbara it’s generally out of action for my entire trip. I do rate the EO Topo map but with it only being available on the Traveller app it will be used for planning only and unlikely to update going forwards. I’d really appreciate the developers making the map available on alternative navigation platforms.

What a great app for planning and riding/driving my/our adventures. Our friends can follow us in our travels and at the same time learn of the many fascinating places along our route. I highly recommed this.

Worste map ever don’t waste $60
