Thread: AULRO Subscriber Offer - cheap on-road/off-road GPS units

So I bought a "Ranga GPS" and had intentions of running Oziexplorer with all the maps.

But no...this is not the case. Oziexplorer CE can run the Natmaps but it will not run the UBD City & Regional Maps. So my GPS unit is pointless

I have not found a hack and even Oziexplorer say on their site the UBD does not run on CE.

Any clues if UBD can run on the GPS?

Why not use iGO8 for road navigation?

When I ordered my unit I asked for Australia Maps to be supplied and I didn't get a response. The unit has now turned up and it has US maps.

I have been searching for maps. Even the naviextras.com didn't have a Australia map.

Maybe I need to do some more searching.

PM one of us?

Will look forward to your updated instructions.

7 inch didn't seem a lot until I got it!
Sure looks big. I think I will need a mount to fit it in the Defender. Would take up too much window space if fitted to the window with supplied kit I think.

How the 7" going mate??

Hi RaZz0R

Works well with iGo as expected.

I am looking at using a RAM Mount to hold it. Most probably fix the Ram Mount to the left hand side of the console where the grab rail is fixed.

Still waiting to get "other" work done especially on the electrical side of things. Once the second battery and circuit breakers are installed I can look at doing some wiring for those units that will be hard wired in, like radios and some sockets.
The radios will be hard wired (no sockets needed) but the navigation system will need sockets (or perhaps inline plugs) for power and rear camera etc.

Which reminds me:
Ranga... have you been able to find time to update your files yet? In my case of course, to be able to get OziExplorer to run off the 7" unit:

If someone can provide a tutorial to get Ozi working on these units, it would be very much appreciated.
