ExGo

ExGo is a dedicated off-road GPS navigation app designed for explorers who venture beyond the pavement. This powerful tool replaces the need for unreliable internet connections with pre-downloaded offline maps, allowing you to track, record, and share your journeys across Australia's most remote landscapes. Whether you're driving a 4x4, biking, hiking, or horse riding, ExGo provides essential data and navigation to ensure a safe and documented adventure.

Planning and Navigating Off-Road Routes

Users begin by selecting a destination or area of interest within the ExGo application. The app provides access to various map layers, including satellite, topographic, and standard outdoor views, which are crucial for identifying terrain features. You plot your course directly on these offline maps, with ExGo calculating approximate distance and elevation changes. During navigation, the app functions as a robust GPS tracker, providing your real-time location and direction on the pre-planned route, ensuring you stay on course even in the complete absence of cellular service.

Recording Detailed Trip Metrics and Statistics

Once a journey begins, ExGo automatically starts recording. It continuously logs key performance indicators throughout your entire trip. Upon completion, the app presents a comprehensive summary of your activity. This data includes total distance covered, average moving speed, total duration, and a detailed elevation profile chart. This feature of ExGo allows adventurers to analyze their performance over time, track fitness progress on hikes or rides, and accurately log the scope of their explorations.

Placing Custom Markers with Photos and Notes

A core function of ExGo is the ability to create custom waypoints, or markers, at any location on your map. When you discover a compelling campsite, a difficult obstacle, or a stunning viewpoint, you simply tap to place a pin. ExGo then allows you to augment this marker with a photograph taken on the spot and add descriptive text notes. This creates a rich, personalized log of your trip, turning a simple GPS track into a detailed digital journal filled with visual and written memories.

Exploring and Importing Community-Shared Tracks

The ExGo platform includes a social layer where users can share their recorded routes publicly. You can browse this library to discover new trails explored by other off-road enthusiasts. Finding a suitable route allows you to import it directly into your own ExGo library for navigation. This is invaluable for discovering proven paths through challenging terrain, finding new fishing spots, or planning a group trip with a pre-vetted track, all facilitated by the ExGo community.

Sharing Your Adventures Directly from the App

After completing and reviewing your recorded trip, ExGo offers seamless sharing options. You can export your entire route, including your placed markers and collected data, into standard GPX or KML file formats. This lets you share the file directly with friends via messaging apps or email for them to import into their own devices. Furthermore, you can publish your adventure to the public ExGo feed, inviting others to experience your route and contribute their own comments and ratings.

Synchronizing Data Across Multiple Devices

For users who operate across a phone and a tablet, ExGo provides automatic synchronization capabilities. Your saved maps, planned routes, recorded tracks, and personal markers are all stored in your account cloud. This means you can plan a detailed expedition on a larger tablet screen at home and have it instantly available on your phone-mounted device when you are in your vehicle. This synchronization ensures a seamless ExGo experience across your entire ecosystem.
