WHY YOU SHOULD UPGRADE TO A MEMBER ACCOUNT

VISITOR VS MEMBER ACCOUNT

Everyone who uses ExplorOz has a registered account. ie. you've registered the email account you login in with and there was no charge for this. We call this account level "Visitor". But we also offer a "Member" account level - so what is that for?

Membership is a paid level account that provides access to our premium services - there are many of these as outlined on our Membership page on the website, but below we will highlight the two main reasons why people pay for the Membership services.

TRACKER

Probably the number 1 reason to be a Member is activation of the Tracker service. There are 2 alternative ways to access the service depending on your personal needs but the concept is the same. See Tracker.

The Tracker service uses an app interface to collect position data from the GPS in your device and sync this to the server where a route line showing the path of travel is displayed on a map.

The Tracker interface is available in both the ExplorOz Traveller app and also the free ExplorOz Tracker app. The difference between which app you use is whether you want the mapping and navigation features that are ONLY available in the Traveller app, whereas Tracker is purely for tracking. If you use the Tracker service within the Traveller app, you don't need the standalone Tracker app.

Whichever way you choose to use the Tracker service, you must have a Member account. Family/friends are free to view your active tracking map online and you can then clear the tracking after you've finished the trip or SAVE the tracking to keep it stored in your account as a Track Log. The ExplorOz Track Log format has recently just been fully updated too and offers sharing mechanisms that make this the ideal way to document and share your trip with others. See ExplorOz Track Logs to see some of these.

FREE DESKTOP TRAVELLER APP

Another major reason to be a Member is access to the online planning web-interface to the Traveller app. This free webapp is only available if you have a Member account PLUS a purchased version of the Traveller app. This web-interface is based on the exact same version of Traveller as the downloadable app but it does not offer any tracking functions, and does not work offline.

This version of the app allows you to access your Personal Places, Treks & Track Logs, edit them, create new ones, delete them, and sync it all back to your portable devices or headunit. This is not a downloadable app, but is accessed from the ExplorOz website - using Edge, Chrome, or Opera and by going to the My App Control Panel on the ExplorOz Traveller webpage

MEMBERSHIP COSTS

There are 2 Membership options:-

A $20 discount will automatically be deducted from the price of the 12 month Membership subscription if you have already bought (and logged into) the $59.99 Traveller app.

NOTE: The purchase cost of the Traveller app and EOTopo map licence have a fixed one-time price and are not subscription based. Your account type does not affect the price of these products.
