Don't get wound up Will. I'm the least of your problems. At least you have a website, I can't get my head around doing one of those so I think you must be much younger than I.
I wouldn't mind a www site as I have a few tales & wonderful pics and stories that I think would be more easily shared than on cut and paste emails. Maybe I should talk to E/O David. !!
I use a GPS mainly when out in the big seas fishing. I do however take it on
camp trips where it sits up in front of SWMBO who helps to
check my speed, also direction when checking position on maps etc plus other features, all fairly simple stuff. However in my quest to learn more relative to my needs, I bought the book from EO "GPS Vehicle Navigation in Australia". Fantastic - one of the best presented and prepared books I've read for ages, so much good info about the GPS system and mapping. I'm only part way through so don't know how it deals with your Oziexplorer. I really commend the book to you if you don't have it.
BTW, on our last trip heading out of
Cockburn (SA) to B'
Hill I was pulled up by your highway patrol (it was so remote) for excess speed, when he asked why I said it was not my fault, I drive, SWMBO watches the speed - book her (I'm a real hero here). SWMBO argued that his speedo was wrong & our GPS was right. Guess what, he smiled and let us go, said he wouldn't want to spoil what was a great holiday. Nice blokes those SA police.
Carpe Diem
