What is CGC?
	It’s an interactive dataset of information collected by 4WDers for fellow 4WDers. Using an Australia-wide zoomable map as its base, camp sites, treks, lookouts, rest areas etc of interest to 4WDers are plotted and colour-coded so they can be viewed from very broad to detailed scales. Each site has its own page with detailed information on location, facilities, access etc.

The concept is straightforward

You don’t have to be an IT guru to operate CGC. Intuitive is the word. Use it at home to plan trips and access the many weblinks provided to get additional information. Take it with you on your laptop in case your plans change or if you decide to look at a few other sites along the way. External links will need an internet connection to access them. The other links are internal to the CD and will work off-line.

Background to CGC
	CGC is a new format developed by the Land Rover Club of the ACT in 2006 for providing extensive and detailed info on camping and 4WD touring destinations for users of 4WDs, SUVs and caravanners. Key features which distinguish it from traditional touring guides and maps are - · High quality information collected recently by site visits to every place; · Updated annually with new sites, and updates on selected existing sites; · Info collected by experienced 4WD people who know and value the bush; · CGC is easily transported and adaptable with your equipment – eg hard copy printouts, desktop PCs, laptops, PDA/Pocket PCs, with interfaces to OziExplorer and Google Earth.

	GeoScience Australia is the source of the base map data; the map data files are in OziExplorer format and we incorporate OziExplorer GPS data. CGC was conceived and developed by Paul Sheahan, Pete Smith, and Stewart Needham. Roger Quarterman and Mike Osborne do the quality checking. Many club colleagues and friends helped collect site and trek information and they are acknowledged on the info pages for the sites they visited. This product utilises Adobe SVG ^TM.

The way forward

If you visit any of the sites in CGC and the information needs updating – or if you are visiting a new site you think should be included – you can fill in the Recce Form and then submit it to us when you get home. This will enable us to keep the information up-to-date and release regular updates with more useful site and trek information to assist you with your future outback camping and touring! We invite your Feedback to ensure that CGC continues to develop to meet your needs.
