iPad Mapping setup

[Nissan Kid]

I recently picked an iPad, 32 Gb 3G and i thought i would share a little bit about how it can be used for 4 wheel driving.

One of the apps that i have bought is the Memory Map app, Although it was $39 i think it was well worth it. After buying this app i was then able to add all the maps that already had.....

Memory Map Topo which Covers Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, New Zealand in 1:25000 or 1:50000
Memory Map Tour is used to cover all states in 1:250000 as well as all Hema's Digital Maps
Memory Map Rooftop is used to cover Victoria and New South Wales as an alternative to the other maps (Very Useful Off Road)

So i installed all this to my iPad and invested in some velcrow and came out with this



250k Maps


50k Maps


Maps in the same area


All maps on device


Stats screen


Routes, tracks and points


I got hard case off ebay for $11 to put the velcrow on so i did not have to stick it to the ipad.




Any questions just ask.

Thats great because of the big screen. I have a quick questions if you dont mind.

Ive read a lot of your posts and you have a lot of great gizmos in your cabin. Are you concerned about people breaking in or do you simply just don't leave it on the street?

I have a quick question mate.

Not sure if you mentioned this in another thread but where does that cord go to.

have you got it wired up to feed power from the car battery or an inverter?

How long would the battery last for anyway?

Looks good. I was mucking around with my mates iPad and we loaded memory map onto it but couldn't get the split screen on it. I have it loaded on my laptop and the split screen feature is great.
Do you know if the iPad version has the split screen or it it only on the windows version? I can't find any info
Also, do you know if there is a converter to convert oziexplorer map(.map or. oz2f) to memory map? I have heaps of topo maps for oziexplorer
Which maps are you running?

Thanks in advance
Cheers

Yeah that cord is just an audio cord to the sound system.

Yeah i also have a power feed just not plugged in, Its a 12v power supply from an ipod or iphone.

They reckon it will last ten hours, not bad?

now that there are gps antenas would it be possible to conect one to the ipad and have a gps app to work with it like you can do on laptops?

Digging this thread up again..

I think I'll buy an iPad 3 this week and I'm going to look at using it for 4WD GPS (and ordinary gps). Might check out the HEMA maps as from what I've seen on you tube, they are great.
The only thing that I haven't figured out yet is how to mount it. There's a bunch of mounts out now of different types so I guess I'll just have to buy the iPad then try and figure out the best place to mount it where I can easily take it out of the car for normal use.

Anyone else using an iPad for 4WD'ing lately?
