ID:152348 - Legends

IvanTheTerrible — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 09:07:00 GMT

A lot of the old school legends are no longer with us but I had the pleasure of meeting one of the remaining few.
Bill Binns dropped into our workshop this week to have some repairs done. Would have to be one of the most interest conversations I've had in a while. Nice to see him enjoying his retirement.

ID:152340 - Cuppa's Blog - Mt Elizabeth Caretaking

Member - Cuppa — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:52:00 GMT

And in quick succession this is the second post of the four I intend to write to bring us up to date with our travels. This was not one I found easy to write & it didn't turn out quite as I as I had imagined it would in my head but I think it gives the warts & all account of a difficult situation without going overboard with detail. Had I not restricted myself it would have become a 'novel'. As it is I finished it feeling 'finished' & just wanting to leave it all behind & start again, because that's what we have done.

Rocket Rod — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 22:24:00 GMT

I've just posted this on the Canning Stock Route Facebook page but if you don't do Facebook here's some helpfull information about the CSR you might like.

"For anyone who is doing the CSR this year, you might find the latest edition of the CSR Traveller Information Guide from Track Care helpful. The guide was created with data from last year's Lake Stretch toilet installation job I lead. It contains road conditions as at Aug 2025, photos, well data, GPX and OziExplorer files of the driven route. You can download it here https://trackcare.com.au/downloads/ If you find this information helpfull please consider a donation while you're there https://trackcare.com.au/shop/ "

ID:152327 - OziExplorer - Development Version - 3.96h

The Explorer — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 06:09:00 GMT

Hello - hope all are well.

For all the die hard OziExplorer users out there - a new "development" version was just released (21 March 2026). Main updates = "Added into OziExplorer the ability to convert other Map Image Formats to TIF format "

Guessing this update won't be of concern to most people but in my case seems handy for converting GeoPDFs (though I have other options for this anyway).

Info - Development version 3.96h

Cheers
Greg

ID:152326 - Tiles Cost/Size when viewing?

Member - Mark B68 — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 22:31:00 GMT

Wondering how the cost/tile is calculated?

I purchased 25000 tiles and tested on what I thought was a zoomed in section and had a look at my tile balance and saw a 200 credit reduction?

What is the difference in viewing with Google Maps in resolution?

Cheers

ID:152318 - Inserting places in an EOT Route

Member - Warren H — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 11:19:00 GMT

I haven't done much travelling in the last year and hadn't used EOT very much, additionally most of my extensive route creation was done using much earlier versions. Finally creating a new route I had an issue inserting intermediate destinations. If I tried via the map (not via places search tool) to insert a place that was part of another route, then the entire route would be appended. I figured that I was missing something so fired off a help desk query. Michelle replied within the hour. The upshot is that you need to turn off the routes layer on the map to stop this happening. RTFM.
