What is ExplorOz Tracker?
ExplorOz Tracker automatically records your journey as you travel — creating a clear timeline of your route, daily stops and travel statistics that you can view, replay and share online.
Tracker is available through both the standalone ExplorOz Tracker app and within the
ExplorOz Traveller app.
How Tracker Works
Tracker uses your device’s GPS to record your movement as you travel. It is not a satellite tracker — it relies on your device’s GPS and, when online, your internet connection to upload tracking data to your account.
- When you are offline, Tracker continues recording your journey on the device.
- Once you reconnect to the internet (mobile or Wi-Fi), your trip data automatically syncs and your online map updates to show your full journey.
Tracking records GPS points to build a route line on a map showing where you’ve travelled, with automatic daily stop markers and travel stats you can revisit anytime.
Using Tracker in the Traveller App
With an active ExplorOz
Membership, you can enable Tracker inside the Traveller app. This allows you to record your device’s tracking and sync it to your Explorer account from within Traveller.
When using Tracker in Traveller you’re viewing the tracking data for your own device only.
Using the Standalone Tracker App
The standalone ExplorOz Tracker app (free to download from your app store) also enables tracking with your Member account — and it adds the ability to:
- view multiple tracked devices in one place
- monitor several devices on one map screen
Both the Traveller app and the standalone Tracker app share the same tracking service and sync to your ExplorOz account.
Why Use Tracker
Most travellers use Tracker as a travel diary and trip log. It allows you to:
- See exactly where you travelled each day
- Review distances, time travelled, and movement patterns
- Automatically mark overnight stops
- Share your travels with others (if you choose)
- Keep a rich visual record of your journey online or via the app interfaces
Membership Requirement
To record and save your own trips with tracking, you need an ExplorOz
Membership.
You can download the Tracker app for free and view shared public trips without a
Membership, but recording your own live tracking requires
Membership.
