hema maps on i phone

For those with i phones hema maps should be avail around june 2010 for down load says managing director of hema maps pty ltd would be a good back up if your other nav system failed . It should work without access to a network as does navigon and sygic does on my phone.

Re: hema maps on i phone

As a back up this may well work OK. Just be aware that the iPhone GPS receiver isn't particularly sensitive. Not so much of a problem in 'open country', but could be a major issue (i.e. not work at all) in mountaneous and tree covered terrain. Tom Tom have an iPhone app (mainly for street navigation), but they also sell an iPhone mount with a built-in GPS receiver/booster to overcome the iPhone's own receiver's limitations. I have no idea if this would work with third party maps, such as HEMA, but food for thought all the same.

No maps yet from hema but a australian web site has a good gps program for street nav , it has all the features tts, lane assit, speed alert etc etc free map updates, all for $24.99 i paid $80 & $90 for sygic and navigon this metro view is i think better.If you have a iphone check out www.metroviewaustralia.com.au or check it out on itunes apps , read others comments.

I started a thread about iPhone apps a little while back where people can update on good apps they find viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9258&p=122905&hilit=iphone&sid =404c4bd25015b90824500e936daf6ee7#p122905.

I have had and used the metoview app for some time now and recommend it. Not as flashy visually as things like the tom tom app but gets you where u want to got with voice assist. Accuracy is quite good and will adjust on the move. I use it in conjuction with this arkon mount http://www.calculatorking.com.au/arkon- ... mount.html set up in landscape view, also highly recommended. I paid about $35 delivered for the mount.
