ExplorOz trip update

Hi guys,
Just wanted to check in and give you an update.
As you know, we have been away since June and are working on the road for a few months, certainly until September at this stage.

EDIT: new paragraph added here…
In the Help Desk auto reply we advise a wait time for replies from us could be up to 2 weeks and suggest people reach out to our network of other app users and give them a link to both the Forum and the Facebook group. There are many people who don’t use Facebook and would prefer the Forum option so this is why you will see people asking for help here.

Thought you'd like to see our bush office. Most of our active poi and mapping updates are done in the Traveller app as we travel along in the vehicle. But Help Desk and photo management and any programming is done at the "desk". We didn't bother to bring a boosted modem to improve our connectivity but can see that would be an advantage.

Both our Android phones have broken charge ports so won't charge on their usual charge cables but will charge if powered off and connected to the high speed Apple charger. Tried to buy new phones in Newman...not possible so limping along.

We have a whole suite of other devices...main tracking device is the T'Eyes headunit, but we find the iPad is the best performing device of all. We have a WiFi only 8th Gen with Garmin Glo 2
external GPS. Also have an IPad Air 4 with cellular and built in GPS. Neither are the "latest" models but are fast, quality devices and proving exceptional with the Traveller app and tracking. We've decided, much better than Android in this regard.

We also have 2 Windows laptops for our main work, customer service management, photo management (Help Desk, Lightroom, OneDrive, Premier Pro etc).

We power the laptops when working via lithium batteries in the Landcruiser and 2000w Redarc invertor charged by solar panels. There is plenty of sun...not a day without blue clear skies here in the Gascoyne and Pilbara where we've spent the whole of July.

We have stopped in the Marble Bar caravan park however for the past 3 nights but unpowered. Just using internet!! Lots of it.

Our camping setup is pretty basic compared to others but seems luxurious to us after swags and tents. Otherwise all going ok...we have only had one major argument ;)

Here's some pics to give you some idea.
