Hema Navigator and reversing camera

Some more info that I would like from members reading this thread...

I purchased the NATMAP 2008 for $99.00 thinking that it would be the high resolution map as shown here on the EO trips and tracks iMap.

It is not :-(

It is the same as the preloaded maps on the Hema 5. (waste of $99.00 ?)

How do I get the EO 'digital map' onto my Hema 5 ?

Derek

"How do I get the EO 'digital map' onto my Hema 5 ? "

There is no way to get the whole lot in one go. When you select a specific trek to download you can also download a "Map" - which is an oziexplorer calibrated image of the area involved. You will receive a 2000x2000 pixel map image (.gif) and the OziExplorer geo-referenced .map file. I'm not sure it would be any more detailed than the 250K raster map in most respects as it is based on the same info. The image is supplied in gif format so you will need to convert it to ozf3 (or ecw, plus a few others - jpg, png and bmp if image not too big) for use on the HN5.

Thanks Greg

I just purchased the Cape York one and received a 2000x2000 png file that is very poor resolution.

The hema Cape York map is better in this case.

The reason I was looking was I would like a detailed map of the road from Daintree to Cooktown as it is quite vague on all the maps I have.

I would llike this detail on my Hema.

Hi Derek
This is a Qld 50k map, that could be used with Ozi Exp.

Thanks Derek and others. I have a Hema Navigator on the way. I did in fact ask Hema a question about the reversing camera and never received a reply which is disappointing. I hesitated in buying one because of this but decided eventually it was the only one that fitted most of my criteria.

Yes their service is not the best and I have had a few problems that they could not explain and I had to fix myself, one of which was the R66 update that crashed my whole application, they now have a warning on the site about this so don't do the upgrade right away. I also bought additional downloads that are locked and I can't open ;-(

If I had the choice again I might give it a skip and buy a basic system and then do my own application install as others have already suggested in other threads.

That being said it will do what I want it to do once I get more detailed maps.

Note: The Natmap 2008 is basically what is preloaded so don't buy that.

Thanks guys for the help with the maps that have been offered by PM.

I got mine from Johnny Appleseed in Salisbury, Brisbane, Qld and glad I did. They know the product and told me the trick of inverting the camera to get the correct horizantal picture. Easy to do and works magic.

RockyOne - I have a Hema Navigator and would like to fit the camera. I was thinking of mounting it right in the centre of the rear number plate (ie cut a hole when the little black diamond is in my NSW plates). I'm trying to visualise where you have your camera and thinking under the tailgate latch....do you have a pic of your installation you could upload?
Thanks

Hi P22, Steady! I suggest you not tamper with your rego plate as 'they' can find enough things on most rigs to ticket us if they are having a 'bad hair day' Only reason I have not posted a pic of my magic setup is the camera & latch handle are all black so the camera just is not visible in a photo. However, this arvo, when I get home, I will put some thin strips of masking tape on the square corners of the camera or on the latch handle base area to make the camera stand out. Will post pic on Wed 165th.Main reason I got the camera (apart from the fact I love gadgets-be honest old son) is I have a personalised number plate with glass over it and want to be able to see the tow ball when reversing onto the caravan or trailer without smashing anything. My cam clearly shows the tow ball and everything else of interest. Would have thought that a cam viewing through a small hole like you appear to suggest on a vertical plane as the rego plate is, would only provide an elevated view at about the same level as the rear view mirrors. Hold off 'till I post the pic. Have fun Brian (not Brain;-)

Thanks look forward to the pic

Reverse camera fitted to Nissan Navara d/cab tailgate Bit new at loading pix to this site so here goes guys. I should maybe show a photo of the screen when the reverse picture automaticaly appears on selecting reverse. Clever stuff.

Thanks for the photo RockyOne... given me some ideas for installing reversing camera in father-in-laws Prado which has the spare wheel in the way.

Thanks RockyOne - certainly an innovative approach.
