We’ve just put together a short 4-minute look at
ExplorOz Traveller — just enough to see the map detail and how it all fits together. It’s not a deep tutorial, but it covers everything you need if you're curious.
Our newsletter subscribers received this earlier today.
If you’d like updates like this sent directly to you, you can subscribe via your ExplorOz account settings. If you don’t yet have an account, registration is free from the top of the website.
If you’d like the full breakdown — pricing, features, device options, head unit use and managing multiple devices — you’ll find all of that on the
ExplorOz Traveller webpage.
If you have any other questions after watching, post below and we’ll clarify.
Thanks,
Michelle & David

Hey guys, thanks for all you work on this, great App.
Question, do I need to have
EOTopo 2026 to enjoy the 3D contour? I can only see the contours lines on the map as a flat map

TroyR,
I added 3D terrain to the latest 10 release of the app and it will work with older EOTopo licenses. As this was a new feature and has a large impact on device performance I delliberatly kept it a little quiet. I also need to build a new hillshade and terrain dataset to remove some errors that are visible within the current dataset. But enough of the excuses and reasons, to make it work do this:
Go in the app to the LHS menu and select Settings - Map Screen - 3D Pitch Display Mode - set it to 65, under this setting will be a new setting called Use 3D Terrain - turn this on. Then on the main map screen when you Toggle 3D button it will render in 3D mode, couple this with the Extended Keyboard controls and you can move around the map quickly in 3D mode.

G'day David & Michelle,
Traveller app is a great companion & we use it every day on our trips & around our local area of the
Grampians. Great to see you are including some
walking tracks as we are 4wd & walking enthusiasts.
Thanks for
the tip of using the distance tool for offline route definition. We are offline a lot & generally deviate to POI found on the app & told about by fellow travellers.
Iwe love how everything just works without having to read the manual all the time.
Cheers
Stu

G’day Stu,
That’s great to hear — and the
Grampians is a perfect place to use it. You’re very lucky to have that as your local — I’m a bit jealous!
The
walking tracks have been part of the EOTopo detail since around the 2021 edition, but we get more data every year and for this 2026 edition we did put quite a bit of refinement work into the bike and hike trail network specifically to make sure the output was exactly how we wanted it. We are thrilled with now having the display of graded (green, blue, black) MTB
trails for the first time!
Glad the distance tool tip was useful — simple feature, but very handy when you’re offline and making decisions on the fly.
Really appreciate the feedback.
Cheers,
Michelle
