STORAGE FOR MAPS
Map files are quite large and , depending on how many state and territory maps you want to keep with you at all times , the larger the memory storage you will need on your notepad . The Lenovo came standard with 32Gb of internal storage , which I estimated wouldn ’ t be quite enough for my needs .
Fortunately , the prices for memory cards have come down significantly over the years . I was able to purchase a 64Gb SD memory card for the Lenovo for just $ 15 . This offered sufficient storage for my needs with plenty of room to spare .
DOWNLOADING MAPS AND SETTING UP
Downloading the offline maps for HERE WeGo was very straightforward as it is handled in the setup of the app itself . You just select what maps you want and where to download them , and the app does the rest . In use , select ‘ Offline Maps ’ on the home screen once you start the app .
Doing the same thing for OziExplorer is a little more complex . You can put the memory card into your notepad and download the maps directly to it , but I found that to be a bit awkward and time-consuming . Instead , I put the memory card into my laptop and downloaded the maps that way .
Both OziExplorer and GetLost Maps have instructions on how to set-up the memory card . In a nutshell , you need to create a folder called ‘ Maps ’ on the memory card and ensure you download your maps to this folder . You can create multiple subfolders for each state if you like . It does help with managing the files and ensuring you have what you need . Once you have done this , you can transfer the memory card back to your notepad .
