Using more than one app to Plan and Travel

Does the HEMA device use the same Etoppo maps ?

We have the CAMPS 12 Spiral bound book as well... Good to browse and plan at the table.

Looks like you can do pass through charging if your iPad uses a usb c port, otherwise a Bluetooth gps.

Mark B68,

I do not believe so.

Warren H,

The iPad uses a USB-B cable/port, so will not allow “pass through” charging, I already tried that, but thanks for the suggestion.

I might also add here that whilst I like to plan my trips using maps etc. unless we have a specific need to be in a particular place at a particular time, we do not stick to a specific schedule. Planning using maps gives me a general idea where I might be at a particular time or day on the trip. We do quite often deviate from the plan, and then adjust as necessary.

When I start the motor I like to follow the assumption that if I don't know where I'm going any road will get me there.

We give heavy preference to any road we have not used previously.
But we do not plan with any detail. We would not have a clue where we might spend the second night, for instance.
Cheers,

To each his own of course, but from home we generally pointed the Troopy in a somewhat westerly direction and drove. Made it up as we went along. Only time we planned routes was when we needed to be somewhere at a certain time and even then just nominated waypoints to be sure we did not fall behind. We enjoyed many pleasant surprises that way.
And we do not like maps (paper or digital) that are adorned with "Places of Interest" and other information. If we missed anything then we were never aware of it so it didn't matter anyway. Ahhh, the carefree life.
So sorry David & Michelle, Traveller is not for us.

I use a sense of direction. Seems to work ok so far. If in unfamiliar country I might then turn on a NAVIGATING system to look see where I am and possibly where to head to next. This driving along trying to look at a screen instead of the road is not for me. Use a map too if daylight. My vehicle has brakes and so can stop sometimes and turn ON and check a nav system if required.

With a basic GPS at around 10pm in high country I turned it ON and then took a turn to a hut I had never been to before. Turn was around 150m from where it indicated but ok. Just how many turn offs are where you want to go? I would NEVER see any point in having a head unit in a vehicle changed to something different. Just totally unwarranted for me!
I sort of know if driving for a while, that 50km away turn off, will be getting closer and so look out for it. Unless you have covered the distance looking at a map screen constantly is useless.

Having been in the ARMY don't you have an ability to know where you are and then find it? And with the IT experience you mentioned it would be very simple for you to use any map program to suit your needs! Are you devoid of these skills?

As we drive along, I find the info on a topographic map interesting and often ask the navigator what the name of a feature is. Mostly I have a good look at the planned route for the day and tootle off as it were. If I was going to be away for 6+ months I'd be more of a happy wanderer rather than a planner. Each to their own method of discovering the places and meeting the people.
