I found this not so easy to use as it could be, a bit clunky. I downloaded this for use in Australia then touched the “my location button” which moved me to a another map of my home location in the U.K., it then took me 20minutes to get back to Australia map, had to go into system set up and choose a map. The zoom in function very clunky not smooth and certainly not slick.
I bought the app to plan future routes and trips for when we visit Oz. The app is fantastic!
This is a great app for finding your way around Australia. I love the tracking feature and the ability to add waymarks. We exported our route and looked at it on Google Earth so we could see exactly where we'd been. Great to have all Hema's maps in one hand app. It took a while to download all the maps, but it was worth it because there was no mobile coverage where we were driving, but the Hema app still works.
We travelled the east coast of Australia and bought Hema Maps to replace Mudmaps which we have used for years. We were disappointed that the maps are from 2018, and many of the maps are out of date. There have been major changes to the Pacific highway in the last 6 years, and we found ourselves at times 20km off the displayed route. Especially around McLean and Grafton vicinity where the Pacific highway has been rerouted. You would think for a $100 purchase you would be provided with up to date maps. The App is also glitchy when zooming and changing from one map to another.
it’s one of the best and easiest too news it does everything I wanted to do been using it for 20 years now
I have been using the Hema maps for a few years when ever I head out. Easy to use I have purchased the 1:25,000 as well ( it helps as well ) Its handy to use the tracking ( bread crumbs section ) so as you can see where you have been
If you want to simply run offline maps and log your vehicle track via GPS, this app is pretty straightforward. If you want to get more advanced and upload route plans to follow it gets a little trickier, but it can be done. I’m a GIS guy, so I plan and digitise routes and features in QGIS, then upload KML files to the app before I go remote. I replicate the data on my iPad and iPhone for redundancy, plus keep paper copies and backup maps in the vehicle. Uploading KML to the app has just become difficult with recent iOS updates. I can no longer simply “share” a KML file to the app. I hope the Developer can resolve that, because if I can’t upload my KML files I might have to look elsewhere.
Kinda a werid app. In some ways it’s a very primitive map system and clunky to use. The thing is when your in the outback and you have no signal and your lost you can normally get onto Hema maps which connects you to a satellite and bingo a map pops up with your location and you can find where you are. Even if your not on a road you can see where you are in relation to the road and move towards it. I only use it when the going gets tough and I am lost. Hema wi.l save you most likely
Wouldent downtown this if it was free
I use Gaia GPS for making routes but constantly refer to the Hema app to get a good overview of route options and terrain. A handy feature is the level of detail doesn’t constantly change as you zoom in or out - what you have is essentially a digital version of the Hema paper maps. It’s also very easy to load gpx files from other apps into Hema. You can also easily log your current route and save it when finished. Over the years it’s become my go-to app when I need to know where I am (😳) and options to get back on track. The specialised maps for key 4wd destinations are exceptional in their detail and accuracy. Overall, it’s a very practical and useful app for outback/remote travel.
