About Your NAVIGATOR
So, what IS the NAVIGATOR? What makes it different to other car GPS devices?
Most in-vehicle GPS systems are designed for use around town and on suburban
streets. They use a mapping system called vector mapping, and they can tell you how
to get from A to B by guiding you with on-screen directions and (usually) spoken
instructions as well. There are many other features which may or may not be
included, depending on the make and model.
A typical street only GPS will quite happily create routes between points within the
same suburb, city, state, or even across the country.
Once you leave the main highway, however, and venture into more remote locations,
these types of GPS systems are generally not quite as useful.
This is where the Hema HN6 NAVIGATOR steps in.
The Hema HN6 NAVIGATOR is equipped with iGo Primo 2 which performs the
same functions as a typical street-only vehicle GPS. It has several unique features
including:
 Camps Australia Wide 6 POIs
 Caravan Parks Aust Wide POIs.
 Dump Point (effluent) POIs
see the section in this guide Using your NAVIGATOR with the CAMPS 6 and
Caravan Parks Australia Wide Books
The 4WD navigation system features OziExplorer software, which is what makes the
Hema HN6 NAVIGATOR different. It does not work in the same way as the usual
"street only" GPS units and software.
The basic concept is that you have an electronic map image, which is almost identical
to the existing paper maps published by Hema. These maps are known as "raster
maps".
OziExplorer knows the geographical area which is covered by the electronic
map, and therefore, once it knows your vehicle's position, can identify and display
your vehicle's location on the map.
It also has some other useful features, including:
 Adding waypoints at any location. A waypoint is a "marker" on the map, which
you might use so that you can find your way back to a specific location at a future
time (such as a good fishing spot, a nice camping area, etc.)
 Recording the path your vehicle follows as you travel in bush areas. This is known
as a
Track Log or Breadcrumb Trail . This can be a very handy tool if you are in
an area where there are indistinct tracks to follow. While the screen shows
where you are now on the map displayed, it also shows how you got there .
 Searching for named locations such as "Ayers Rock", or "Fog Bay" etc. The Name
Search Database contains just under 80000 locations. Once a location is found by
searching, you can show it on a map, add a waypoint for it, or just go directly to
it.
OziExplorer is not designed for use within towns and suburbs, and it does not
provide Turn-By-Turn Navigation (create a route from point A to point B
automatically), that is what the
iGo software is there for.
The fact that the NAVIGATOR includes additional features means that to get the most
out of it, you may need to spend a bit more time reading the User Guides and
