OUTBACK NAVIGATION INFORMATION SYSTEM
OUTBACK NAVIGATION INFORMATION SYSTEM
The Outback Navigation Information System (ONIS) consists of a software suite that we install onto the customer supplied device (Personal Navigation Device abbreviated as PND).
GPSIS can not purchase the PND as under Australian consumer law, we would then also become solely responsible for the existing PND software (which we do not have licensing agreements) when we update the PND and then sell the ONIS.
We do provide warranty and consumer guarantees for our suite of apps and products (SD card with maps) that we supply, in compliance with Australian laws.
The PND can be purchased on EBAY or directly from the manufacture in China using alibaba (refer to link below):
The ONIS suite of apps has been developed specifically for Android version 6 to integrate with the Android security requirements.
NOTE: Even though Android version 6 is not current, we add a VPN firewall for security to ensure that only our apps will allow internet traffic when the ONIS user is updating apps or data.
GPSIS licenses the OziExplorer and kiosk apps and supplies the external SD card containing the OSM and Topographic 250k GPSIS produced maps used in OziExplorer.
The ONIS suite has three modes of operation and purchase:
Fleet Owner Mode.
This mode allows the business owner to collect, import, export and configure geofence, waypoint and tracklog data in addition to "Fleet User Mode" functionality.
The "Owner Mode" is used to deploy configuration and settings to "Fleet User Mode" devices ensuring that all users are presented with a secured consistent user experience.
Fleet User Mode.
This mode allows the user to operate the ONIS with all features that have been configured by the business owner.
Even though the user need only power the ONIS and use the standard features, the user can also also create and load temporary waypoints, tracklogs and routes.
Personal Mode.
This mode is tailored for the non fleet user and removes features that are not typically required for personal use.
Even though the user need only power the ONIS and use the standard features, the user can also also create , save, delete and load waypoints, tracklogs and routes.
NOTE: for fleet mode and larger numbers of units, we recommend purchasing an initial smaller quantity of PND's to ensure compatibility with out app suite and then purchasing the remaining units from the same manufactured batch.
The PND comes with a selection of mounting options and brackets including a windscreen suction cap mount, adjustable ball joint extension arm and a handlebar option.
A 12V cigarette lighter power supply and a fixed wiring option, are also supplied.
The PND device is rated IPX7 (protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes) allowing it to be used in wet conditions such as hiking, motor cycles or quad bikes.
The customer can purchase the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) kit which comes with 4 wheel sensors.
The TPMS sensors can be purchased on EBAY or directly from the manufacture in China using alibaba (refer to link below):
The customer has the option of purchasing the Neutrino Element+ module providing Bluetooth relays.
The relay module can be purchased from an Australian supplier (refer to link below):

The image above is an example of how the ONIS can be robustly mounted using the "ball joint" system, and fixed to the vehicle using an existing "grab rail" mounting bolt and a custom bracket.
This installed ONIS is connected to the 12V cigarette power socket in the center console, with the power cable running under the dash mat.
