GPS System

[Bellbirdweb]

If I get the VMS unit from this info I won't add Ozi to it, thanks for the info.

@Heidi at OziExplorer is a mapping application that can run on Windows or Android devices, but it doesn't come with maps, so it's a little misleading to say that a particular system had better definition maps than Ozi.

You can buy many different map sets to use with Ozi, and the accuracy and definition is therefore dependent on which maps you buy.

As a stand alone product it's very economical and allow you to run almost any map set you like.

The one thing it doesn't do is turn by turn navigation. This is the reason I run multiple applications, and I then use the one most appropriate to the task.

@Drover is correct saying you should avoid anything that solely relies on an internet connection for its maps, however the hybrid products such as hema explorer are a great comprise with the ability to both store maps on the device, and then further enhance them if you do have internet connectivity available.

If you just wanted to use an iPad, you could use a combination of hema explorer or hema 4WD with another app called Metroview and you would have a very powerful navigation suite for about $70 that did everything you need.

Even after a quick Google I'm none the wiser, assume the worst and let it go to the keeper. Just stick my tongue out at you anyway.

Well thanks, just had a good read, thats not very nice ! You actually watch that sort of crap ? Rest assured my comment referred to the fact that requiring an internet connection would render a device useless out bush possibly when you need it most..............I'm shocked that you would think of me as some head up bum redneck, .......................lol.

So, @bigcol ...... what do you have to say for yourself. (I was shocked too, by the way)

ps @Drover .... if your head was up your bum, your neck probably wouldnt be red. Happy to help:encouragement:

Phill Robertson - the Duck Commander
actually, for someone who acts pretty dumb, he is a very intelligent man............ anyone who can take an idea and turn it into a multi million dollar empire, aint that much of a "head up bum redneck"

or the fact that everyone of his kids, (and him himself) have College Degrees, not "Arts" degrees like you get here for wasting time at a Uni

and his homilies are very to the point............
Love your Family
Love your Country
do the best you can do to everyone

but I haven't watched it since last year, so I dont know just how bad it is being played up nowadays

Anything thats requires an internet connection to operate is a Yuppie Toy and should be avoided.

So, @bigcol ...... what do you have to say for yourself. (I was shocked too, by the way)

I stand by the accusation and flaunt it

I agree with the "Yuppie Toy" and hence the reference - (I never get lost, as someone ALWAYS tells me where to go................)

twas not meant as an insult (like saying Mexicans should stay south of the boarder) and I would never EVER say that
therefore I did not intend to offend

Don't quote me on this, but I'm told a regular iPad does not contain the GPS chip. You need a 3G iPad to run hema effectively. Tethering to a 3G device doesn't give you the GPS either.I just upgraded to an iPhone 6+ and figure the screen is plenty big enough to not worry about the iPad.

Yes thats correct, the wifi only version of the ipad does not have a GPS. You need the 3/4G version

y el camino, según normal, nos espera van awhiles que joden a las subvenciones a los otros Estados con el gobierno robando impuestos, porque tenemos minería - boohoo

 

[dagree]

I knew one of those words without needing the translator

 

[Drover]

If you went south of the border@bigcol you would drown, you most certainly wouldn't be speaking victorian.

y ya sabes, en el fondo quiere que un Jeep.
