Welcome to another edition of the ExplorOz newsletter. This newsletter is distributed fortnightly to bring you up to date with what's new on ExplorOz so please sit back and enjoy the read. NEW - Navigation Articles
 |
| Coordinates ConverterThe Coordinates Converter article contains a tool that enables you to enter the latitude and longitude coordinate for any given place in the format of either degrees, degrees minutes seconds, or decimal degrees to obtain the conversion to UTM, DEG, DMS, and DD formats. This is ideal for use with the "Distance Calculator Tool" (see below) which requires input of decimal degrees. |
 |
Distance CalculatorThe Distance Calculator article presents a method for easy calculation of distance, bearing and more between two latitude/longitude positions based on the spherical law of cosines.
Simply enter the known lat/long positions for any two points to obtain instant output of results.

| Digital Maps Explained
The Digital Maps article outlines the range of digital maps on the market, and discusses how you can find which digital maps are right for your navigational needs. Coverage, scale and accuracy and type of maps are explained, as well as how to know which maps are compatible with different apps, mapping software and GPS devices. |
 |
GPS Receivers
The GPS Receivers article explains how, in contrast to buying a ready to go GPS navigator, you can purchase a separate GPS receiver to plug into an existing device to create a custom navigation setup. You may even find you can use an existing device with an inbuilt GPS receiver.
This article will help you understand the different types of GPS receivers available to do the job. | Articles and Treks Updates
