For those who might be using this program on their devices I have just noted the following on the Australian web site,
**Notice**
All Memory-Map
services have been suspended indefinitely.
Due to contractual difficulties. All
services have been withdrawn for both Memory-Map and Hema apps.
I noticed over the last few days that the Aus Topo 250 map would download only as black squares. After contacting Memory Map Help I was informed as follows
''The reseller who provided that map is no longer associated with Memory-Map".
Fortunately my previously downloaded Hema Maps and various Topo maps still seem to function. Nevertheless I have contacted Memory Map again endeavouring to determine what might be happening. Obviously this is of concern for users of Memory Map and the Hema App.

It doesn;t look great.does it?
I contacted Hema and Memory Map US. Apparently the franchisee in NZ is no longer involved.
Hema said that the maps would be transferred to a server and the service will be restored over the weekend.
They said the notice on the website is misleading.
I hope it comes good.
The Austopo 250 map is one of the best around.

I just asked them as
well - they pointed me to

Are Memory-Map
Services "Suspended Indefinitely"?
No. Rest assured that all Memory-Map
services are working 100%.
You may have seen a puzzling message on what appears to be a Memory-Map website. However, the .au and .nz websites are controlled by a reseller who is no longer with Memory-Map. There are a few maps that have been discontinued as a result but the majority of products are not affected.
All mapping content in Australia and NZ has been or soon will be replaced with updated editions. If you are having trouble downloading maps, please contact the US site for tech support. You may be eligible for a free update.

I got a mass email from them today:

Dear Customer,
You may have heard a rumor or read on the web that Memory-Map has "suspended services". Please rest assured this is not true.
The situation is, we have discontinued working with a certain re-seller, who is now putting out a false message on the Australian website. There are a few maps that we have discontinued selling, and some others that are no longer available for download. However, the Memory-Map online activation
services and most maps of Australia are not affected by the change.
We have recently released new edition maps for NSW, QLD and TAS, as
well as a new edition of the Hema 4WD Maps. We are working on replacements for other maps that may be affected. If you are having problems accessing your purchased maps or software, please contact us via our global support site
https://memory-map.com/Support.html. You may be eligible for a free update.
The bottom line is Memory-map is fully committed to the Australia/NZ market and we are looking after our customers in the region.
Regards,
Richard Stephens
President, Memory-Map Inc.

Got the same email this morning too, Peter. Sounds like there's not to much to worry about?

Get in touch with Memory-Map support via the USA website - they are still actively supporting the product. The issue seems to be their relationship with the AU/NZ distributor (who "owns" the Australian domain and who knows what else)
