Hema iPad app - imported GPX file issue

Mark
I have been able to load GPX files I downloaded from this site OK.

It was awhile ago but believe I did the same thing as you, via itumes.

Not sure if this works but try mailing it to yourself as an attachment then open it in the IPAD, it will try and copy it to Hema maps.

Also try and load yours into say google earth, to see if it is OK

If you are happy to send me the file i will try it.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the help, I tried it this morning and it worked a treat!

For anyone else trying to do this, this is what I did. I copied the GPX files from the desktop on my computer (Mac) into an email and sent to myself. I then opened this email on my iPad. On the iPad when the file opened I got a full screen of code, which I wasn't expecting.

However touching the top of the screen, this opened a menu across the top, which had "done" on the right hand side and an icon of a square with an upward pointing arrow on the left. Touching this icon a window opened, and in that was the Hema app icon and the option to copy the file to Hema maps.

I also emailed the GPX file from my computer to my sons iPad, he uses outlook, when I went to open the file it simply asked if I wanted it copied to 4WD maps.

In both cases when I asked to open the file in Hema, my iPad went straight to the Hema app and showed the mark on the map. Happy days! :-)

Cheers,

Mark

Take a look here The Hema Map is actually Memory Map. That page shows how to transfer from the PC but contains info on how to import to the IPAD.

Thanks again Richard.

Interestingly, I tried it through dropbox and found it required as many steps as for email?
Anyway, good to know I have a couple of ways of moving files about. :-)

Cheers,

Mark

Hopefully not imagining it again


But when you see the gpx file in the mail hold your finger on it for awhile instead of tapping it

That way a selection of apps to use pop up and hema should be one of them

It worked for email this time

Hope it works for you

Richard
