Which versions of Hema and Natmap are you using?
If you want some good Victorian maps for Ozi, I can highly recommend GetLost's maps.
Back in the really early days, a group of us came across some freely downloadable 25K Vic Firemaps that were legal to use(just not distribute).
Problem was they were all individual sheets, so in Ozi(moving map) there was the issue of map boundary(as opposed to sheet boundary) ..
We all edited the maps so that boundaries were at the map extents rather than edges of sheet.
Made moving maps a lot more usable.
These maps were pretty much the bees knees for 4WDing too.
That I know of, HEMA don't have high resolution maps for Ozi(maybe 150K) which is fine for touring main places, but not enough track details on the whole.
This is what the old Firemaps gave.
I ended up turning the 1000+ Firemaps into two sheets to cover East Vic and West Vic myself(took forever).
Anyhow, I had what I kind'a needed, and as I found old/new detail, Ozi allows you to edit maps as you require too.
The hard part was finding new detailed maps that don't cost the earth.
This is where GetLost comes in.
Have a look for them, if you want super high(for 4WDing) detail in Vic, these are the best so far(I've seen) for Ozi.
GetLost also has some other states if required.
Note that the the entire state is a huge download too. eg. Vic East and Vic West are a tad over 8Gb download.
I now run Ozi on an oldish Lenovo M10 .. not huge specced tablet, but these 8Gb OZF4s run fine for panning and scanning.
Very highly recommended for Ozi if you don't already have them. (if you do get them, go for the East/West sheets, not the individual maps).
NatMaps don't change all that much over the years(if you are referring to the 250K series).
