Thanks for the info guys,
Sounds like I will have to get software as well if discoveraus doenst work on pda's
I didnt wont to spend to much as the software was given to me and i just wanted to try using it invehicle to see what it was like and if it was worth it.

Does a pda need to be dustproof ???
I usually drive with my windows up and the aircon set to recirc in dusty conditions.

Words fail me , do you mean to tell me you have the A/C on and windows up 100% of the time in the outback, actually I doubt very much that you have even driven for hours in bulldust , Why would you want the A/C on and windows up on a beautiful fresh outback morning , you need to get a life and experience the real thing, feel the grit in your hair and around the neck , and smell the dust , mate you don't know what your missing ,

Doug

Yep, yep windows up if its hot and definately up if there is dust wanting to get in the 4x4 !!!
Grit in your hair ( and teeth ?? ) isn't that what they made motorbikes for ??
Missing??? yep, missing the grit in my hair. Smell??? haven't got any anyway.
But still got good eyes, so I can still see that view from behind the tinted windows and that nice cool air con !!!!!!

What you need is a camel........he..he..

I DON'T SMOKE

He..he... and Doug.... I don't wind me windows down for nobody !!!

Hi Mal,
"you can load any maps via any size sd card"
Are you saying that I could still possibly use discoveraus on a pda? As Ron said above that discoveraus wont work on pda's. Or should I just stop mucking around and get Oziexplorer for a pda?
cheers

Selasticman,

Mal here is talking bout loading maps, whole different ball game to discoveraus which is a program with its own map.

Oziexplorer is the prog that you load maps to, I'm not knocking it, loads find it useful, but take a look at it first before yiou go shell out, its no discoveraus, and I personally didnt find it user friendly at all.

Then again, tom tom wont map off road, it has dirt roads on etc but wont track in a true off road situation, like a magellan will. (although a magellan wont run word n excel either LOL!)

Really comes down to what you want out of it, if you need pc too go pda, if you already carry a laptop then pda prob money wasted.

Ron

Hi Ron,
Like you say "Really comes down to what you want out of it" is definetly the answer. From what I've seen of discoveraus, It's very good and i have also put a few trips and POI in it from previous camping trips. There seems to be abit of work behind ozi compared to discoveraus, I think I will go and do some more research to help make up my mind.
cheers,
dave

have not tried discoveraus but my system works ok one for the rd one for the bush good luck mal
