I am using Memory Map with the Hema 4wd raster map collection on an iPad 1 3g.
I have used it for the last 18 mths with no problems. You have to download through itunes store the Memory Map app then use the raster maps from the Hema disc.
I find it much easier to see the details of the map on the ipad than the smaller GPS units. I use a RAM mount to hold the ipad which bolts down to the front passenger
seat mount. It has a long flexible arm that allows a good amount of adjustment.

I'm using the MudMap HD App (formally VMS) on my IPad.
Like everything it's not 100% perfect. I've noticed that sometimes when on trips with other people with various different mapping software between us at times I won't have a track that others have and visa versa.
All in all though I'm happy with it. Pretty simple to operate and extra maps aren't too expensive to purchase compared with some.
Cheers

Craig, I have the VMS previous version and it had the itopo maps which were pretty useless as they didn't show even major fire
trails. I notice they have dropped them in favour of the Westprint maps. What area do they cover, or do you use mostly the 250k maps? Cheers

Hi Mike,
I use a combination of maps dependingon where I am and what I need.
I have Westprint, ITopo, 250K and area specific maps. Between them I don't seem to have any problems.
