Thread: Off Road Maps for Android Devices

Been using ozie explorer for years have it on the galaxy now with the rasta and hema maps seems to work well and was cheap enough too.

I have a Samsung Galaxy SII with cradle and inductive coupling to a phone antenna, unfortunately I believe that the inductive antenna coupling is preventing satelite reception. When the phone is in the cradle I get an average of 1 or less satelites. OziExplorer works fine in your hand but then fringe reception on the phone is poor and battery life worse.

My tab has had no issues with satelite reception been very happy with it so far.

Thanks for the advice guys.
Where and how did you purchase and load the maps??

If you want to run hema maps on OziE the only (legal) way is to buy the complete collection on DVD at around $170.

If you only need a couple of regions covered by the Hema maps MemoryMap is probably a better option. The Hema 2012 updates were available as a free update from late December 2011 via Memory Map map store.

I find that OziE is probably the better program overall but the mapping options are slightly better on memory map.

I'd suggest trying a 10 day of demo some of the memory map mapping for your area before committing either way.

Cheers
Paul

Thanks Paul. Much appreciated.

Tried ozi and memory maps. Settled for memory maps, on my phone. Not tried a tablet

I don't know about availability of maps, but I have tried (not for any serious purpose) the Androzic app, which seems nice...

It was a while ago since I last tried it out, but I think it supports most of the standard map formats.
