Hema 1:150K or even 1:50K maps?

Hi Salty Dog

Not sure about what maps you are using, and the area that you will be travelling.

The Hema 150K and the EOTopo 150K and very similar, but I prefer the colour shading on the EOTopo over the Hema.

Both are great maps, but when it come to say local areas around South Australia, I then switch over to the SA Topo Maps put out by the Government of SA.

Depending on the areas selected, the scale can be as low as 20K which is perfect for finding those very special spots that you will never find on the other Maps.

I only use OziExplorer on laptops, but the same map files work perfectly on my Hema HN7, but with the newer HX1, you are locked in with Hema only maps, which I feel is a backward move, as you can see there is no substitute for detailed maps when you can get them. So seeing that the maps work on the HN7, you should have no reason why they would not work with OziExplorer on your Android.

Where are some examples :

Spatial Vision do very detailed maps for all of Vic.

Hi Salty Dog,

Have you asked Hema, why and if they intend to replace these maps?

I believe Hema, as a buisness, has been sold to a media group, can any confirm that please?
