Androzic – OziExplorer Maps for Android

Androzic is a Brilliant Navigation client for Android devices that uses OziExplorer maps (ozf2, ozfx3).

Great for hiking, geocaching, off-roading, sailing, boating and other outdoor activities. You are expected to be aware of OziExplorer or at least of where to get its maps. Maps also can be created by yourself, but with some afford. Can work without maps as a simple navigator.
