Can I use the maps on my Apple Mac computer?
We have successfully used both memory Map Navigator and OziExplorer within a Virtual windows XP environment running on a Mac. You need to use software such as Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion to achieve this. If you would like to talk to us about this, please drop us an email at sales@maptrax.com.au as we have plenty of experience with this.
Some of our mapping (BSB and ECW maps) will load into native Mac GPS applications, but we have not heavily tested these applications for compatibility across our range. If you have one of these mapping applications and are interested in using our maps, please feel free to drop us an email, and we can provide you with a trial map to confirm inter-operability.

How do I get the maps to work?
The maps are geo-referenced. You will need software that reads map file such as OziExplorer, Memory-Map, Fugawi, these products generally allow you to have a moving map by using signals from a serial or USB GPS connected to your PC.

What are BSB and ECW formats?
BSB format maps produced by MapTrax are an older format of digital raster map originally developed by Map Tech in the USA. The version of BSB we produce is 2.0-3.0. Please note that some newer mapping products are not compatible.
ECW format maps produced by MapTrax are based on a standard developed by ER Mapper, and most modern mapping software can load maps produced in this format.

The Hema Navigator can accept up to a 16GB SDHC Memory Card.
The Navway M470 can accept up to a 4GB Standard SD Memory Card (SDHC cards are not supported)

How does the Memory-Map licensing work on the Navway M470?
The SD memory card that ships with the Navway M470 contains the Memory-Map license for the unit, and the bonus maps of the Brisway, Melway and Sydway from the Ausway group. We recommend not erasing this card or drastically altering the contents of the card, as this can cause problems for the Memory-Map license.
If you decide to purchase a seperate Memory-Map map pack product, you can use the Memory-Map software to transfer your new maps onto a blank SD Memory Card, and activate a license on this card to alow the Navway M470 to use the maps.
