Yeah, I love the Tvan too. It has been to some pretty hairy
places without any drama.
Take a look at both HEMA and Memory Map. While they are effectively the same product, the licensing, and way you buy them are quite different.
With Hema you get it for the IPAD, the App and maps are bundled. It is sometimes on sale and you can get 25% off itunes cards at Kamrt etc at times. You can then buy other Memory Map maps, though I am not sure how this is done as I don't have this option. I don't believe there is a PC version in their licensing structure.
Memory Map on the other hand sell the App, or give away the PC program. You can buy various maps for PC only, Mobile device only or both.
If you have a PC create a login, download the program and create a login. You can download the maps incrementally or in bulk. Make sure you download the free topo 250K map and the height data for the PC so you can look at the maps in 3d and they show you the altitude.
I would recommend the Memory Map path if you intend to use a PC at any point. It has lots of extra
tools and it is easier to plan trips. You can then upload your routes and way points etc to the Ipad.
