HEMA Maps

so i got a spare att ipad mini that i was thinking using for my mapping software for overlanding, was curious if anyone here uses HEMA for USA and if thats worth the investment and how good are maps, i tried default nav and found out that alot of times its off and wont even show some of the trails which i expect is normal. anyone have feedback? was also curious why usa/canada version is only 20 bucks while australia is 70 any pro's cons of the software any suggestions etc.

 

I use Gia GPS and it works very well. Maps are awesome you can select which source you want and allows easy offline downloading.

 

wow guess no one uses them? did i waste my money on this thing lol

 

I just got the HEMA maps a couple weeks ago. I really haven't spent much time on them. So far though, I will say the interface is nice and the ability to use differant maps all in one app is good.

 

Hi
I've been working with Hema Maps for a couple of years, so I can answer questions if you have them =)

You can read about the app here: http://hema.li/explorer

Here are a few videos we put together:

I can be reached directly at shane@hemamaps.com for questions & ideas. If you have a specific issue it’s best to submit a support ticket from within the app.

 

Thanks Shane! I should have some time to kill this week so I can take a closer look at them. Thanks for the videos!

I've had Hema maps on a "new" iPad (3rd gen I think) for 10 months or so. In that time, I've only gotten to use it a few times.

Downloading maps is great when you remember to do it.

My iPad is starting to get SLOW. pretty sure it's just age related. Good news is, the app is paid for and I can just upgrade my iPad.

I end up using it more to plan routes and look where I went. It's great in a pinch if you lose a trail too.

 

Sub'd. OP keep us posted on your take with the maps, this looks like something I want to have on the rig, especially this summer
