OziExplorer for Android is moving map software for devices running the
ANDROID O/S. It
uses raster map images which are either scanned or purchased in digital format.
It allows you to track your position received from the GPS on a map (moving map).
OziExplorer for Android is not automatic route planning software, you cannot request the best way to get
from point A to point B, the types of maps OziExplorer for Android uses do not
allow this.
Screen Shots

OziExplorer runs on Android devices but it relies on map
calibrations etc to be provided by the full PC version of OziExplorer, you also need
the full OziExplorer to calibrate maps, plan trips by adding waypoints etc.
The unlicensed OziExplorer for Android will work with the unlicensed OziExplorer
but the limitations of both packages will apply.

Purchase OziExplorer
for Android
By popular request of users the software can now be purchased
even though it is not complete - for now it is offered at a special price of $25.00 USD. Early purchasers will of course be able to download the later versions for
free.
Important - Before purchasing OziExplorer MUST be installed on your android
device. The Trial version will display the Device ID during program startup
and on the "About" dialog. This "Device ID" is required to purchase OziExplorer
for Android.
These are the limitations of the trial version.
- Moving map mode (communication with the GPS) will only
remain active for 15 mins each time. At the end of these times a dialog will be displayed
and GPS Tracking will be deactivated and must be reactivated by pressing the
GPS Tracking button.
- A watermark using the text "TRIAL" is drawn onto the
map.
Other than for the restrictions mentioned above, the
trial version works exactly the same as the purchased version.
|
$25.00 USD |
The Device ID (a text
string starting with AX) must be entered into the box provided
BEFORE clicking on the "ADD to Cart" button. The Trial version will display the Device ID during program startup
on the "Enter OziExplorer License" screen (also on the About menu option).
Please Note - a license for OziExplorerCE will not work with
the Android version, it is a separate purchase. |
When installing the following permissions will
be requested
From Version 1.08
- Your location - fine (GPS) location
: fairly obvious why
- Network communications - full
internet access : for checking if updates are available, no personal
information is ever sent.
- Storage - modify/delete SD card
contents : needed
- System tools : prevent phone from
sleeping : so device will not turn off while navigating
From Version 1.09
- Phone calls - read phone state and
identity - to read the phones unique id
- Your messages - receive SMS : if
enabled OziExplorer can receive the position of other Android devices by SMS,
used for tracking others in your party
- Services that cost you money - send
SMS messages : if enabled OziExplorer can send SMS messages with your
position to other Android devices running OziExplorer. This is totally
controlled by the user, no messages are sent unless the option is turned on.
