Update - Tuesday, 06 November 2007

 Travel Mate is shareware add-on for OziExplorer to fill the gap with additional features to help plan and organize trips. Travel Mate adds speech capability, web camera interface  and many other feature making  trip preparation and navigation simpler. See screenshot

Frequently asked question. Will there be a CE/Pocket PC version available. At this stage NO. Due to the limited screen size and processor speed it would not be feasible.

Travel Mate was not developed by Des Newman author of OziExplorer, any queries should be directed to Travel Mate Support 

OziExplorer is shareware and in my opinion is the best value moving map software I have see and used.

Travel Mate is released as shareware.

Shareware limitations

Available for 28 days
