Don’t believe what you read as hearsay on the Hema, some people will just say anything.
They are the only company that spends mega dollars doing regular field trips, so their maps are the most accurate out on the market today….that’s a fact.
The biggest thing that many did not like, including me was when they went away from the OziExplorer base to their own on the HX1.
Some people had issues with the unit overheating, which was a software issue and a software upgrade fixed that issue.
The new HX2 is different again, a lot thinner and still the same great features that have been available in all the previous units.
Value for money, you can not go past the new HX2, as what other brand on the market has all those map sheets from around Australia, with all the latest up to date maps, more POI with full details and turn by turn navigation.
In the street mode, you can zoom right in, to see individual address numbers on the streets…what other navigation unit will do that?
I have contacted EO a number of times in the past, re very outdated road details. There are still many roads shown on the EO TOPO as dirt, where in fact they have been fully bitumen for over the past 20 years.
Then you mention WikiCamps,
well the HX2 has all these
places and more, from fuel outlets, hospitals, police stations, caravan parks,
free camping,etc, etc all in one easy to use unit.
For those that buy a tablet, you then have to buy a mapping system and then seperate maps, which will cost you more in the long run.
Credit where credit is due, some don’t like the Hema, just because of its name or what they have heard third hand in conversation.
