A.V.E., NSW

"You may recall my purchase of Trackranger earlier this year. I just wanted to give you some feedback. In July we headed out from Canberra to WA to tackle the Canning Stock Route. We had the software installed on an ACER TravelMate laptop using the Geoscience maps with the Trackranger GPS mounted on the Nissan Patrol dash with a Velcro dot. Can I just say that it was simply brilliant. Every creek bed, every sand dune, every contour, camp site, elevation and every feature was there. When the track took a detour we knew about it. We travelled as the second vehicle in a convoy of two and regularly radioed ahead to alert it to upcoming points of interest. We initially thought that we would only refer to the screen occasionally. Not so – the laptop was open for all 1600 Km except on those occasions when the sand scallops and corrugations were too fierce. We never lost any satellite connections. Advantech Design has a marvellous product!"

"Back again after a great trip.... Of all things we struck a lot of wet weather in outback NSW and most inland roads were closed to traffic....TrackRanger was superb and got us out of some tricky situations with closed roads etc. Super TrackTrace was everything one could ask for and will certainly help in planning future trips and providing trip info to others."

Kevin S, Wentworth Falls, NSW.

gday. I have been using TrackRanger for many many years and I still don't believe that there is any better product. I really rely on this program on almost a daily basis, and would trust this software with my life if it came to it.

Ryan D, Ellenbrook, WA

Hi TrackRanger, Everything is installed and going OK. Great back up from your end - certainly no complaints about the TrackRanger support. Many Thanks - You make living on an island bearable...

Ray L, Kings Coat. SA, 5223

" I have started to calibrate my own jpg maps I have with the TrackRanger program. I will say it is easier to do than using the (other)explorer program. Thanks for such a user friendly program."

Michael D, Corio Vic.

"I implemented the new files you sent and it works beautifully. Can't thank you enough for fixing the problem for me. I am very impressed with the support provided by Advantech Design. I'm wondering if you guys actually go home at night. It's a great product and keep up the good work. "

Peter M, Canberra, ACT

"I bought a TrackRanger and GPS from you in Feb this year, and did a trip down the Vic High Country for 10 days. Just a note to tell you how good it performed and how happy I am with your products. Awesome! Thanks very much, great job. Regards, Mark"

M.B., Wyckham, NSW

"Firstly I must say how thrilled I am with TrackRanger even though I am still very much a beginner I have found the program very easy to use. The TrackRanger USB GPS unit is great and simple to use – I cannot believe how accurate it is."

JC - Bracken Ridge, Qld

"We recently explored some very remote areas north-west of Alice Springs. Despite more than 20 years experience traveling the outback, some of the sites we searched for were very difficult to locate. Without TrackRanger we would have still been out there looking! TrackRanger made navigation a breeze."

K.M. Darwin, NT

"I find the program is well written, robust, represents good value and I congratulate the Authors and development team."


"After having used TrackRanger in W.A. for the last 5months, I have found it indispensable. I wouldn't have found a lot of the places I did."

V.L. NSW

"We recently utilized Trackranger on a 9000 km trip through the Strzelecki Desert and Gulf Region. It proved a very useful navigation system which provided considerable reassurance in remote and isolated areas."

J.M., Turramurra, NSW

"During the stay, we ventured into some remote areas of dead flat country. On at least one occasion the group got momentarily disoriented. You see, whilst three of my colleagues were discussing their 'understanding' of our location on the hand drawn map of the property, I quietly powered up TrackRanger. In a few moments, I had a position fix. TrackRanger had worked out exactly where we were, and I was able to show them our exact position on the screen with pinpoint accuracy."

CV, Kew, Vic

"To drive the whole rig I have installed the TrackRanger GPS Navigation System. I did a fair amount of research before deciding on this program to meet my needs of Australia wide travel. It auto links to the 250K CD series plus other maps available on CD and you can install any map into the system either using CD or scanned maps. After sales service is excellent and Australian company that wrote it periodically upgrade the system and add enhancements."

F.P. - Holder, ACT

"There is no doubt about TrackRanger. It is the best 'realtime' locating device for the expert and the geographically embarrassed. I will never venture into the bush in a vehicle without it. Thanks a million for the generous after sales service and support. I will be recommending it to all my colleagues in outdoor pursuits."


"My colleague in the lead vehicle took a wrong turn when we got into the scrub. TrackRanger showed we should have turned left at a certain point in order to head off to location which was approx 45Kms due west of our present position. Anyhow, I radioed the lead vehicle, advised him of the errant turn and let TrackRanger do the navigating, it got us back on track. From that point, we kept in radio contact and talked each other through the rest of the journey for 40Kms. The calibration of the maps was so accurate, we found our required location in pitch darkness. Everyone was impressed."

Chris, Melbourne. Vic

"I am once again indebted to you and re-iterate what I said previously "Thank you for being so prompt with your reply, this level of service is Exceptional and good to receive " I look forward to a long and mutually enjoyable association with Advantech Design."

K.W. Seaford, Vic

Far better than any of those new tiny screen things I see in car magazines, and can do so much more too."

K.A. Vic

"Towing a large caravan, we cannot afford to take a wrong turn. We use TrackRanger to keep us informed of our location. Being alerted to turnoffs in advance really helps us prepare for turns, and lets us move into the correct lane in plenty of time. For us, TrackRanger is a travel necessity!"
