    GPS/ Mapping software list compiling.

    Hey all. I want to compile a list of the different brands of software available as I have just bought myself a Galaxy Note 10.1 and want to get some sort of mapping for it but have really NFI when it comes to this stuff.
    All that I can think of off the top of my head is :
    • Mudmap
    • Hema
    • Ozi Explorer
    • Memory map


    I'd also like to know what you have and what you think of it. And if you had to start again. Would you buy this software again? Or buy another brand and why?
    This stuff ain't real cheap so I want to know as much as I can before I take the plunge.

    Cheers.

    Hemi explorer is just a map. I was a bit disappointed about it and the fact it also requires a min of 2gb download which it doesn't state. It also state that it will stop the screen from going to sleep but they haven't fixed that problem yet.

    I have Memory Map and Mud Map HD. I prefer Memory Map because I have some detailed high country maps on it thanks to another member and it traces a line from where you have driven. Mud Map is great for touring I reckon, places you won't have maps for as it has just one huge map of Australia with the tracks on it and even has all campsites on it too.

    Another vote for memory map good for recording past trips and plotting a trip and can point you to your next destination or reference point

    There is predominantly two types of "mapping" Raster and Vector.

    "Raster" is OziExplorer, Trackranger etc.
    They work by having a geocoded picture IE a map, scroll around the screen depending on your position.
    The software doesn't know what features are on the picture just where abouts on the picture you are.
    You can make them turn by turn by plotting in your waypoints.

    "Vector" is Igo, Navman etc
    They work on vectors in that some dude sits down with the coords of all the streets and intersections and turns them into vectors.
    You tell it where you want to go and the software joins the vectors and comes up with the turns you need.
    That is why the maps are so expensive. The manhours/computer hours are huge.

    By definition of 4WD "turn by turn" you would need someone to have compiled all the vectors for all the fire trails, tracks, goat paths etc which would be a monumental undertaking
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
