Stable and very intuitive complements paper Hema maps very well. ### 1/5 — 4wd Maps *2026-04-21, version 2.4.2* Absolutely awful compared to the old Hema Explorer. Just about unusable, so disappointed. One star because it wouldn’t accept no stars. ### 4/5 — Paper maps with gps *2026-04-10* I find the Hema maps app great. I’ve used it from the VIC High Country to Cape York. I can sit at home and look at areas I want to visit, zoom in and out and follow tracks without having to find the next page the map joins up to. I plan routes and save as gpx files and when I’m out and about I can see exactly where I am on the map with GPS accuracy. I can save my favourite camps or points of interest and send them to friends. Yes the app is a bit clunky and takes awhile to learn, but so are paper maps. ### 3/5 — Review *2026-03-29, version 2.4.2* HEMA Maps offer solid and reliable mapping, especially for regional and outback travel. The detail is generally good, though coverage could be expanded in some areas. A handy resource overall, but still worth cross-checking with other sources at times. ### 4/5 — CarPlay? *2026-03-07, version 2.4.2* The app would be excellent with CarPlay. Especially now that there is wireless CarPlay your navigator/partner could be programming while you are driving ### 1/5 — NOT MY PICK *2026-02-27, version 2.4.2* This was my original app that I used as a 4x4 I found if difficult clunky impossible to understand unintuitive and frustrating I have tried a lot since. THEY GET A ONE STAR FOR THE ONLY DECENT THING IT DOES AND THAT IS A ONE OFF PRICE ENJOY ### 5/5 — Blessed are the map makers *2026-02-16, version 2.4.2* Hema have always strived to make their maps excellent for both 4WD and road trips. Let us hope they stay in business and google don’t devour them ### 4/5 — Great *2026-01-12, version 2.4.2* It’s a great app we use it all the time for our trips. It would be great to see it available for apple/android car play. ### 1/5 — Zero stars for this app. *2026-01-11* This used to be a very good 4wd mapping app before their mapping system was corrupted and taken over by memory maps! Now the Hemma mapping app is rubbish - just electronic copies of paper topo maps that don’t show any detail at zoom and no clear signage. You pay top dollar for the “new” version of Hemma mapping app and the maps that they supply and the ones you can download are useless, particularly if you plan on any four wheel driving or adventuring. Not even sure you can use an external gps connected to your iPad to show your exact location. Memory maps that are supplied are also useless. A complete waste of money ## Frequently asked questions about 4WD Maps ### What does 4WD Maps do? This app provides offline topographic and 4x4 GPS navigation.
