Purchase OziExplorer for Android

By popular request of users the software can now be purchased even though it is not complete - for now it is offered at a special price of $25.00 USD. Early purchasers will of course be able to download the later versions for free.

Important - Before purchasing OziExplorer MUST be installed on your android device. The Trial version will display the Device ID during program startup and on the "About" dialog. This "Device ID" is required to purchase OziExplorer for Android.

These are the only limitations of the trial version.

• Moving map mode (communication with the GPS) will only remain active for 15 mins each time. At the end of these times a dialog will be displayed and GPS Tracking will be deactivated and must be reactivated by pressing the GPS Tracking button.
• A watermark using the text "TRIAL" is drawn onto the map.

Other than for the restrictions mentioned above, the trial version works exactly the same as the purchased version.
