| Welcome to "absoluteoverland.com"
a website that will provide you with useful
information to plan your overland trip. Based on our
own experiences, the idea of this website was born
on a lazy day somewhere in Kenya while waiting on
our new shock absorbers.
Nowadays, with internet available on every corner,
planning your overland trip is a lot easier than in
the past. Almost all the information you need can be
found on the internet. Personally I surfed countless
hours on the web and copy-pasted all useful
information into files so that, once on the road, I
would have the information to hand even if I was not
online. Handy but a hell of a job.
Once on the road I noticed that
all overlanders have more or less the same demand
for information and they all spend their own
time on the world wide web as there is no website
where all this information is gathered. How easy
would it be if you could just download a list with
all available waypoints instead of gathering them
yourself from numerous websites and how easy would
it be to have an updated list of fuel prices so that
you can fill up your tanks in the best spots.
The goal of this website is to
provide an easily accessible and easy to use database
of this kind of overland data. We will start by
gathering the information that is most in
demand. This information will consist of waypoints,
fuel prices, visa and taxes and links.
So if you support this idea and
would like to help extend this list and make it an
interactive up to date overview of data gathered by
overlanders and available for overlanders please
send me your overland data. Under the information
chapters you can find information about the format
of the data and under contact you can find details
on how to contact us.
