We have one and find it very easy to use. The Camps Australia wide is very good especially when used in conjunction with the book. No more looking for signs that may not be there'

When in big towns and want to find a shop or doctor or such the custom search function is very handy

We have done two trips around Australia using the hema and could not be happier with the way it is set up

the good thing about the hema is you don't have to buy more maps etc all you do is update for free rod

very happy with my HN5I

very handy to be able to search Camps 7 nearby or along route or switch to 4WD tracks display which i use quite often. This mode gives map detail instead of just a orange route line through the screen (in the bush) you can see water courses, places of interest nearby etc.

4WD map mode also leaves a trail of your route, which i have found very handy along the murray river. poking around campsite tracks you can retrace you steps instead of trying to find you way back out.

There is a bit of discussion on the HN6 on the 4WDaction website you might want to check out.. just google Hn5i and it should pop up.

We have the Hema Hn5i and love it. Great for off road and helps us to navigate towns that we don't know and for finding a business you may need - like we did when the batteries in the camper gave up. Looked up the local business and the navigator told us how to find them. Hema in our experience have been great to deal with in our experience

Cheers
