Explore oz training sessions in Vic

Guys,
I understand what your saying bout the club thing. I was a member of a huge club here in Sydney and found the same thing on outings, so I didnt renew my membership.
As for the mapping /GPS learning, All i can suggest is trial and error. We also had training through the club, actually had a whole weekend trip based on GPS, it was fantastic, problem was, if you dont keep doing it...U forget how.

So what i do now is, when i have some spare time, I get the laptop out and some maps and the gps and play. Problem there is, just as im really getting into it, I have to become a TAXI for a family member, and thats very annoying. But after a year or so, I got the basics worked out. I just hope i never have to use them in a panic situation out the middle of nowhere. I am sure id fail.

Dont be affraid to ask questions. Worst thing that could happen is they make fun of you, if they do that, then you know they still havent left their childhood behind, cross them off your friends list and move on

I asked the same question some time back and suggested a self help group of members/visitors in Melbourne. Alas nothing came of it.
As chance would have it I am in Adelaide, on and off for the next three months, but would support you if possible to get some kind of casual meeting of a self help group or even a more formal arrangement.
I enjoy using Ozi and would love to fast track my learning and skills.
Good luck Sunchasers and keep persisting if you have the time to initiate something.

Noel & Pam,

Just for the record the software you are reffering to is OziExplorer and is created by D&L Software in QLD. ExplorOz is the web business that you are now using and a member of, they are not the same thing. ExplorOz is a reseller for and user of OziExplorer. It is a bit confusing but we are two different businesses.

I am sure there are some members in Vic that would be able to help you. Maybe someone will reply to you in this thread as there are heaps of ExplorOz - Oziexplorer users in Melbourne.

I would gladly show you however located in Perth it makes it a little difficult. If I can help you over the phone please just give us a call - I have done this with several other members from all over the country.

Noel and Pam, Keep your eyes peeled for a Vic or Melbourne Exploroz day out, come along, bring your Oziexplorer stuff with you and someone will onyl be too happy to help you thru it. I am in Melb once a week and often drop by fellow Exploroz peoples homes for a free feed, no thats not really the reason, some of them are nice people too hahahaha and anyways how did I get sidetracked, Member Lucy is just starting to learn Oziexplorer on his flash new PDA.

If I am about I awould be happy to pass on what II know.

There is an OziExplorer discussion group in Yahoo groups. Lots of helpful people, and I know contacts have been made there for self help. I will willingly help with any questions you can email me at bagreeningatbtinternet.com (replace at with @). Unfortunatly I live in London so it is a bit far away to visit
