Downloading Treks into a Navman

Thanks for the input. I thought it may have been the case but was hoping there was a way around it.

Have previously looked into a HN6 but believe the Navman would have better and more accurate city and main road coverage??

Just purchased the Hema app for iPad so will give that a go first.

Lester,
The Hema HN6 has very capable on road as well as off road capability. they are separate apps that you switch between. I've used iGO street navigation and it compares very well to Tom tom and Garmin so that would not be a disadvantage. The same applies to the VMS unit.

remember that you need the appropriate maps for the Hema 4WD Maps app. I think perhaps they may come bundled with the app. Good luck.

Yes for $39 I was able to download Navman's 4WD Tracks (from Hema) which has quite a few tracks in it. Haven't used it to great extent yet though.

I was more wanting to load pre planned trips and the treks from ExplorOz. So apart from the HN6 and VMS are there any other alternatives?

There are alternatives.
Tablets running on Android OS can take the Oziexplorer for Android app. It would be better to get a 7" tablet as the 10.1 inch type may be too big to mount properly. This app enbles the maps used in the Oziexplorer PC version to be run (NATMAP, Hema, VICMap etc). With this setup you can also purchase the Tom Tom app for Android. There are probably other apps that I don't know about .

You can purchase a Chinese 7" GPS on Ebay that runs on Windows CE and use OziExplorer CE . Again you can load the Tom Tom app or Igo Primo for street navigation. Many have iGO preloaded. This is my setup and it works very well but when this unit dies I'll be going down the 7" android Tablet road.

As I understand it, the Hema 4WD app has proprietary maps and cannot use the existing Hema maps normally used with OziExplorer. I'm happy to be corrected and enlightened on this matter though.
