Hi
John
I currently own a HN7 and think it is great.
I have not seen or used the new HX1 and was a little spectical when it was released with the ability of not being able to add other Topo maps.
I have been following some of Hema's
blogs and now I know why you can not do it.....there is no need to.
One one of their latest bogs, you can go to there 150k map and then select an area where you want better detail. You then simply highlight the area and depending where it is, download for free all the extra very detailed maps, with some down to as low as 1:7k which is just unreal.
This feature alone will save you hundreds of dollars without the need to purchase more detailed maps.
I know Hema are doing super deals on the HN7, with free postage and free visor for $449.
Cheers
Stephen

I would now only use Hema maps if there was nothing else. Too many inaccuracies.
Have given them a good run - Navigator 5, Explorer on Android (with 150 topo, 4WD maps and HERE maps) and a bundle of paper maps.
Had high hopes of the new 150 Ks but having used them outback,
Vic high country and S coast NSW, it's become a grim comedy to compare them with Hema's other maps and those by Natmap, Vicmap, Westprint and Oztopo.
Yeah, I'm a map tragic.
No map is fully accurate. But Hema will get you in the poo quicker than the others. (That's if you use them for navigation where there are no signs.)
