Thread: Hema Navigator vs iPad / Android Hema app - is the actual software any different?

Also if you go tablet & apps, you can load the same apps and maps onto your phone as a backup system if the primary tablet fails. On my boat I run a nav app (Navionics) on the tablet with a duplicate on my phone for redunancy if required.

The other thing I like about using Memory Map in this situation - many of the map packs - including the hema maps, are licensed to be able to run them cross platform.

So I run an ipad mini 4, and Android phone and only had to buy the map once.... For many maps I can run 2 mobile devices and 2 pc/laptops all on the one purchase


Memory Map has very similar functionality to the Hema app too.

Overwhelmingly I think I'm seeing most people run tablets with the apps on them, so they can't be that much worse, if at all, than the dedicated devices.

I actually just learnt this morning that the new Hema dedicated HX-1 is in fact a locked Android tablet with the software on it, but with a better screen and memory etc. etc.

Too many options!
