ExplorOz Traveller vs Solid GPS

ExplorOz Traveller is an all-in-one Australia-wide mapping app to explore tracks and trails, plan and track your trips, and find camps and places along the way. Built on EOTopo, a high-detail topographic map of Australia, Traveller clearly shows tracks, trails and terrain so you can understand where you are and where you’re going — purpose-built for exploring beyond mobile coverage, and equally effective in towns and cities.

For use with Solid GPS Tracking Device. Solid GPS was born out of a need. When my Trent’s neighbourhood was hit by a series of burglaries, the thought of him losing his motorcycle kept him up at night. In a bid to protect his asset he searched the internet for a suitable GPS tracker. Unfortunately he was met with poor results. Every device he found had something lacking. Some were too expensive or still used the old 2G network. Others would only work within a small radius, had limited battery life and weren’t portable. Those that looked promising didn’t receive great reviews, had fake reviews and broke down before they could be used. So Trent asked himself “why can’t I just find a portable GPS Tracker that just works?” And that’s when the idea of building his own GPS tracker came to him. After a long development period, Solid GPS released its first iteration and has slowly been developing and improving the hardware and software. Solid GPS is a family business, all development and manufacturing is done in-house.
