Anyone used both? Hema detail look a little clearer or have they just spent more dollars on the video?
Going to the cape and thought it would be a good idea to get either of these for the for the trip. Just can't decide

I bough Memory Map for $1.29. That is what we used on our recent 6,000k trip to S.A.

I am not sure if you have narrowed it down to two. I am in the same position for scouting what maps to use.(also the unit to install). The most knowledgeable salesman that I have come across from a specialist communication company was recommending Ozi Explorer and said they have workshop days that can be attended to get the most out of the unit. That kind of backup from the distributor that could then clearly differentiate between units carried a bit of weight with me and I am leaning that way at the moment. Most distributors know little more than the price.
I will be interested in others findings/ experiences like others on this thread as it is a reasonable outlay and I would like to get it right.
Hi,
I run Ozi, and have just upgraded from CE to Android.
What an improvement in the interface with the new hardware.
I installed the Hema App a few days ago, and am still playing with it.
Hema allows a browser interface to an online gallery area where tracks/routes/waypoints/photos/trip reports can be stored (private or shared)
Hema is limited to two maps covering Australia, 1:250k and 1:M. They are good maps, and Google maps/satellite and OSM can be overlayed with transparency adjustment. For off line use, selections of Google can be downloaded.
Hema can synchronise your tablet with routes/waypoints you create on the pc browser interface - very nice. If you have internet of course.
Ozi can do this off line by copying files from pc to tablet on a usb cable or bluetooth.
Ozi files can be accessed, Hema is a bit obscure - not sure where they are yet.
Ozi lets you scan and calibrate your own maps, and there is a wide range of maps around to 'share'.
I will probably run both as each has unique areas of usefulness. Of the two, I think Hema would be easier to learn to use, but Ozi has so much more versatility.
Cheers
Hi,
Yes, there is a selection of 4wd maps available which are not network dependent, as are the 2 base maps of Australia.
Cheers
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Mudmaps stitched up their customers by killing off Mudmaps HD when they bought out Mudmaps 2.
That was $140 down the drain after two years.
Who's to say they won't do it again and bring out Mudmaps 3 and want you to pay all over again.
Don't touch them I say.
Go Hema
Hi, I bought a Navman MY450LMT and bought the 4wd maps for 49.45 and installed them. I haven't used it yet but seems to have a very comprehensive listing of maps and destinations as well as heaps of 4wd POI's. Just for ur information.
Cheers Rod
Interesting little experiment at the weekend when out with the BIL in his 80 in the hills behind Lismore (the Defender was at home in Brisbane, but I'm sure it would have gone everywhere the 80 did, probably with less revving too).
He has an iPad with Hema maps, and he also has a collection of the old Forestry paper maps of the same area, so we had them both out.
While the Hema showed the main tracks, the old forestry maps had many other tracks, often disused.
I believe Forestry has itself just gone over to GPS maps and is not using its paper maps any more. They are definitely more detailed, so I recommend grabbing them as soon as possible before they disappear. I saw a collection in Bookworld in Lismore the other day and they are available at other places. Maybe Forestry still sells them.
The Hema has advantages of showing your movement and setting way points and so on, but for really detailed knowledge, it seems the old forestry paper maps are the way to go as a backup.
