New Hema 4x4 Explorer App

[boobook]

Look at the memory map instructions for an Ipad. It tells you how to export and share overlays ( tracks and waypoints) and export them. Hema 4x4 is just a rebadged Memory Map. www.memory-map.com.au

I think you can log in to memory map, register your maps and then transfer them over too. There is also a section detailing how to deal with Hema 4x4.

Note if you have 4x4 Explorer that is a different product. I gave up on that.

@boobook thanks for that, I have the Hema 4WD app. In general I am happy with the Hema maps. I think I might get the Exporoz app as well to compliment it.

I tried airdrop but didn’t bring them over so created an account and shared the tracks, worked fine thanks

I bought the Exploroz app and high resolution maps. Not overly impressed.

The latest Hema maps and victopo25k are brilliant on Memory Map.

Now you have a memory map account download the program on Windows, it is free and the next level in planning, including 3d and importing things like rooftop and westprint maps if you take the time to learn

FYI, just came back from a 12,000 km trip through WA, mostly offline. I had Hema Explorer for years and transitioned to 4x4 Explorer. After two very long and patient years I am going to look for an alternative and hope not to come in contact with a Hema app ever agains again. Everyone who has done serious 4WDing seems to have the same impression: you keep "hoping they will fix the bugs soon and the updated version will finally work", but it is hopeless. Ironically, it only does a half-decent job with raster maps, the type 4x4 Explorer was goint to make obsolete... The list of things that are wrong would take hours to write. What a failure.

I've been mucking around with my programming skills and have converted the a digital Rooftop map from the Hema app into 1 giant image, so it's say 9216 x 6656 pixels (bloody massive!), What's a good app to import these into to use as a base layer? I know the coordinates of the boundaries of the picture.

What image format is it? Is it georeferenced?

You need to get it to 8 bit Tiff with LZF compression and calibrate it once imported, or it will import directly if it's geo Tiff.

I suspect that file is way too large for no reason. I use image converter plus to convert picture sizes and types, and Mapc2mapc to covert already georeferenced files like Ozi etc.


The first time you import, it will create a memory map file type, you need to move that from where the temproary maps are held, and put it in a more permanent file location. Then delete the imported TIFF
