I'm currently setting up the maps for our trip and wondered what others do with their OziExplorer for trip preparation.

Here's what I'm doing.

Prepared all the maps for our planned trip adding some extras in case we choose to detour whilst on route.
Plotted waypoints for the entire trip. On the black top I've only plotted major points but in more remote areas (or in places where we are taking a short cut) I've plotted to a fairly high degree of detail so that the route line follows the track reasonably closely.
Setup routes, one for each day's travel.
This way I figure we will be far less likely to accidentally stray off the planned route.

I'm a bit of the techno junkie so if this sounds like too much work for some of you - I've found it fun. Its also given me great familiarisation with the route.

I'd love to hear what others do - particularly those with far more practical experience on long outback trips in unfamiliar areas.
