Laptop use in vehicle?

[Drewboyaus]

yes i also run an ipad but with hema maps which i think leaves a bit to be desired, i would like to run ozi and probably will when they come out for the ipad.

Mate, I find Hema works quite well for me. I scan my own maps in too.
I also often run MudMap concurrently on the same iPad as a "second opinion".

Not weird at all.

I have done a lot of walking in my area, covers Cultana and El Alamein Army ranges as well as adjoining station properties.
The area has nice tree groupings where they obliterate all vision and and cover a few grid squares and more.
Was out once walking with a bunch who had their GPS and map. All experienced according to them. It was an interesting experience as I watched them get lost in one of the treed areas.
In the end I had had it and told them they were way off course. After a bit of heavy discussion they agreed to follow the route I gave them. Guided them out my way and back on track.

If you want weird, I only had a map and no I had not been there before.

How did I know where I was? Long complicated story.

How do you get maps into the Hema iPad app?

I can get maps into Ozi on the PC and my Hema HN6 but not the iPad app.

Being somewhat Android illiterate what is the best tablet to consider?
What I have looked at so far don't say they have a builtin GPS.

It does though sound a better option to the laptop.
Mounting seems cheaper than one for a laptop as well beside simpler.

Im running a Samsung tab 2 - 7 inch, I have mounted the table using a RAM mount

I have the oziexplorer andriod app for off road - with 1/25000 maps. Plus I run a point to point for road use

The tab 2 and latter tab 3's have internal gps.

I was about to mount a laptop with a 7 inch touch screen.

I have a silvan compass on top of the dash, and have used it for the last 15 yrs I suppose
and at the back of my mind I think I count how many minutes I travelled say,
north, and need to travel "X" minutes south to get home.
I'd love a Tablet maybe 10" but I have no one to read it when 4x4ing.

Mate just plot some points in and a bloody big arrow will point you where to go to get to the reference if you get side tracked it will adjust and still Guide you there.

Mount it on the dash infront/ beside you and your set to look at it yourself!

Hi mate,
Sorry I missed the question first time around.....
You need to import them using iTunes. I have done a tutorial here on how to scan and calibrate paper maps into the Hema app. I'm on the mobile so can't look for the link but if you search for it you should find it. It was either in navigation section or DIY, I can't remember.
I'm pretty sure I covered it in there.

Thanks. Found the thread. Getting the maps scanned is next problem. Working on that as were I live its not a simple issue.
