GPS/ Mapping software list compiling.

Yep. Normally via SD card

I'm still yet to decide on which way to go. I was going to get MM but after seeing BA having issues with his up at Tallarook I might give it a miss. So now I'm back to where I started. Lol.

The high country maps were great... I did not buy the full version but I have also not seen Hema so do not know what thats like??

I'm still lurking on this one to see the outcome. I used to use Ozi on an old touchscreen Netbook, but it's so dated now and painfully slow to do stuff with. Was expensive in it's day (about 6 years ago). Ozi was good, but it was complicated to use, especially the full PC version on a touch screen. Now I think it would be good to do something on the Android. If the interface is designed for the smaller touch screen a bit better I hope it would make it easier. Just waiting to get a better consensus on what is the easiest and good access to maps or can at least use the scanned maps as well. Guess I'll wait for any conclusion to shortlist, then have to try a bit for myself as well.

I've used memory map a bit, it works really well but my lenovo tablet is about as old as the ones Moses brought down from the mountain so it chews through its battery. The maps are the hema topo ones and they have great detail on them. Biggest problem I have is mounting the tablet, the mount I have for mine is pants. Might have to make a custom one with a dock built in.

Drew, any chance of you posting a pic of your tablet mount?

I just downloaded the memory map 25 too maps. You can get it for a 10 day trial. First thing I noticed is how slow it is to load the map. Dunno why my tablet isn't the issue I know that. Maybe the location of the files on the tablet? I think I will need to get a hold of BA's tablet and see what mud map is like now.

Mark,
There is a truck to getting the whole topo map files rather than downloading "tiles".
Pete,
I'll post up a pic tomorrow. I use a Ram mount screwed to the console where my clock would be (I don't have a clock).

Wierd it says that I have downloaded the package though.

If it's the VicMap 25k topo for MemoryMap, the file is about 2GB in size and you have to go through a rabbit warren of pages to find the link to the complete file.
