Welcome
This guide is designed to assist you in getting started with your new HX-2+ so that you can explore ASAP.
Please note that the user guide you are currently reading may be updated periodically to reflect new features or changes in functionality within the HX-2+.
While we strive to ensure that the information contained herein is accurate and helpful, if you encounter any issues or feel that a topic requires further explanation, please do not hesitate to contact our Tech Support by submitting a ticket at https://kb.hemamaps.com/kb-tickets/new.
Hema Maps Cloud
The Hema Maps Cloud is a great complement to using the HX-2+. You can access the cloud at the following URL: http://cloud.hemamaps.com
You'll be asked to create a user account when you set up your device for the first time. You can log in to the Cloud using those details if you already have an account. If you still need to create an account, you can do so from the HX-2+ or directly on the Cloud site.
Why should you create a Cloud account?
- Well, for starters, it's free and extends the capabilities of the HX-2+. If you create an account and sign in from the app, your data, including waypoints, tracks, and trips, will be synced to the Cloud. This way, you'll always have a backup of your data if your device is lost or stolen
- Moreover, you're signed in to the same Cloud account if you use multiple devices, including the HX-2+ or a device running the Hema 4x4 Explorer App. In that case, your data will be synced automatically between devices.
- Lastly, you can share your data with friends and family members or make it public for the benefit of others if you so desire.

Switching the HX-2+ on and off
Switching on:
Press the power button for 2 seconds and release; an animation will display, followed by the main screen.
Switching off:
The HX-2+ can be completely switched off or put into Sleep Mode. Pressing the power button for 2 seconds will display a confirmation page asking you to “Power off” or “Restart”. Select “Power off” to completely switch the HX-2+ off.
1. Turning on the HX-2+
After starting the HX-2+, you will receive informative slides introducing the device's various features. Use the arrows or swipe to navigate through these slides.
Connecting to WiFi
One of the informative slides provides information about WiFi.
While the HX-2+ can navigate offline, connecting the device to WiFi during initial installation is essential. This ensures your HX-2+ is set up correctly and allows you to navigate confidently. It's also recommended to regularly connect your device to WiFi to check for software, map updates and data sync.
To connect to WiFi:
- Tap the "View WiFi Settings" button to open the WiFi page
- Tap your chosen WiFi network.
- Enter your password and tap "Connect".
- Check if the HX-2+ has successfully connected to the WiFi. If it has, tap the back arrow in the top left corner.
2. Signing In / Creating an Account
On the following slide, you will be prompted to register your device. Registering your device is vital for several reasons:
- It enables you to enjoy three years of gold membership, giving you exclusive benefits.
- It allows our dedicated technical support team to assist whenever needed. Also, it enables us to reach out to you in case your device is ever lost or stolen.
- Registration also lets you synchronise your data with the Hema Maps Cloud, ensuring your valuable information is securely stored and easily accessible whenever needed.
You will find two sections on the registration page: "Existing members" and "New members".
Existing Users
You can simply sign in using your existing login details if you have previously registered an account on the:
- HX-2
- 4x4 Explorer mobile application
- Hema Maps Cloud (2020)
If you have forgotten your username or password, you can easily recover it by tapping "Forgot username or password?". Just provide the email address you used when creating your account, and you will receive instructions to reset your password.
New Users
You must create a new account if this is your first Hema Maps digital product or you are transitioning from the:
- HX-1
- HN Series
- Hema Explorer mobile application
- 4WD Maps mobile application
This is because we have moved our Cloud service to a new platform to support our improved maps.
Tapping "Create new account" gives you a form to fill out. We recommend you use an easy-to-remember username and password and enter an email address you can always access. Submit this form by tapping "Register".
Afterwards, you'll be taken to the HX-2+ home screen.

System Settings
When you click on the System Settings icon it will load the System Settings page.
Software Updates
When you click on the Software Updates icon, the Software Updates page will load. This page checks and displays any system updates that are available for you HX-2+. If any of the items have Install to the right of them please click on Install to install the update. Once the update has been completed each item will say Updated [1].
Data synchronisation, or data-syncing, is a crucial feature of your HX-2+. It allows you to:
- Save and secure your tracks, trips, waypoints, and points of interest on the Hema Maps Cloud. Access various tools to edit and customise your saved data.
- Explore other users' shared trips and tracks and Hema Map's featured destinations to enhance your next adventure.
To access the Data-Sync Menu, tap the "Data Sync" button from the home screen, shown by the Cloud with two parallel arrows.
Once on the menu, you'll see two sections: "Synchronise my data with Hema Maps Cloud" and "Update Points of Interests, Maps and Settings".
Let's start with "Synchronise my data with HemaX Cloud". This step will upload all the data stored on the HX-2+ to your account, and download anything created or edited on Cloud to the device.
If you want the HX-2+ to automatically perform a data-sync whenever it detects a saved WiFi connection, turn on "Auto synchronize with HemaX Cloud when connected to WiFi".
We recommend doing this if you have enough WiFi data, as it helps take the burden off manually synchronising, lowering the risk of losing your saved items.

Raster Maps vs Vector Maps
The HX-2+ uses both Raster and Vector maps. Here is a brief explanation of the two types of maps.
Raster Map | Vector Map |
Raster or bitmap images are made of composed square pixels. | Vector images are made of points that form lines and shapes dictated by mathematical formulas. |
The disadvantage over vector is that raster images are relying on their set image resolution. When zooming into a raster image the image gets blurry and pixelated. | The advantage over raster is that graphics using a vector solution are always displayed crisp and sharp on any device's resolution. When zooming into a vector graphic the image is always nice and sharp. |
Depending on the image resolution raster images are bigger and take up more disk space. | Vector graphics are smaller in file size and take up less disk space. |
Sample Raster image | Sample Vector image |
The raster maps in the 4x4 Explorer app are images of selected Hema print products in a digital form. The POI and facilities are static and in the map file embedded. | The vector maps in 4x4 Explorer are highly interactive maps. While zooming and panning the map content changes depending on the zoom level. The POI and facilities are interactive and 'floating' on the map - they can be rated and updated within the app. |
Map Styles
The mapping content that is displayed on the main screen is set using the Map Styles menu. This is accessed from the Map Styles [1] button on the left hand side of the main map.
To apply the Map Style of your choice click on the map style so it has a tick in the box [2] the Done [3] button.
There are four different styles that can be chosen:
- Hema Premium
- Hema Explorer
- Satellite
- Hybrid Satellite
1. Hema Premium
These are our premium set of Vector maps.
2. Hema Explorer
This is the Raster, multilayered Hema Explorer Map from the HX-1, Hema Atlases and Maps.
3. Satellite
This is a Satellite map overlay. This is only available with a data connection.
4. Hybrid Satellite
This is a combination of the Hema Points of interest, road data and the satellite data. This is only available with a data connection.
Map Updates
It is important to note that your device comes with preloaded maps. Still, newer maps may be available during your setup.
To ensure you are navigating with the most up-to-date maps, you will receive popups whenever a new map is released. This will keep you informed and allow you to easily install the latest maps for your device.
To install new maps on your device, follow these steps:
- From the home screen, open "All Apps".
- Find and open "Check for Map Updates" in the application drawer's top left corner.
If there are any map updates available, a popup will appear. Tap "Update Mode" to start the installation process.
The HX-2+ will reboot into a new page, called "Map Update", with a popup appearing explaining that you will have to reinstall additional map packs is you have previously done so. Tap "OK".
Your map updates will now begin. Map updates are divided into two sections: On-road and Offroad, with Offroad being first, followed by On-road.
As with the first section, you can follow the progress of the sync with the:
- Progress bar
- Percentage counter
- Step number / descriptions.
Always double check you have enough data available to complete the update, and ensure you a have a strong, stable connection.
Once the downloads have completed, a popup will appear asking you to reboot. Tap "OK."
To ensure your maps have downloaded correctly, it is helpful to disconnect your device from Wi-Fi and check if the maps are loading properly. This allows you to verify that the maps have been successfully downloaded and are ready to use.
If your maps have been installed correctly, you will be able to view the entire map of Australia in full detail and create routes to any chosen destination.
No Map update Available
If you open the check for map update page and receive the following message.
This is typically indicative that there are no map updates available and your current set of installed maps are the latest available from hema.
Please double check that your HX2 is connected to a WiFi network first as you will also receive this message if you are checking for updates with no current internet connection.

Zoom All
The Adventure maps mode has a unique zoom feature that lets you reset the zoom level on the map you are viewing. Please note this is only available on the Hema Print maps and not the Hema Explorer Map as it is a seamless map.
All you need to do is zoom in to the desired level either using the Zoom In [10] or Zoom out [11] buttons
and then click the Zoom All [12] button to rest the zoom level.
Trips
In this section we will look at the Trip planning engine in your HX-2+. You can access this by going into the Main Menu [1].
and then click on Trips [2].

IMPORTANT PRODUCT INFORMATION
Safety notes and maintenance
1. Introduction
This section of the User Guide contains some general information and recommendations related to the use of your Hema HX-2+ (“the Product”).

2.1. External Influences
Do not: (i) allow objects to drop onto the Product from above; (ii) place objects on top of the Product or rub the screen with abrasive materials or objects such as car keys etc; (iii) drop the Product: (iv) use sharp or abrasive objects to operate the touch screen other than the stylus designed for this purpose: (v) carry/transport flammable liquids, gases or explosives in the same compartment as the Product and its accessories.
Avoid prolonged use in high vibration and high shock environments. Wireless Products can interfere with the reception of satellite signals causing unstable signal reception. Some car audio systems can cause interference with the Product.
2.2. GPS
This system uses GPS signals produced and monitored by the United States government, who are solely responsible for the availability and accuracy of the system.
GPS satellite signals do not penetrate solid objects (apart from glass) and, therefore will not operate from within a building unless an external re-radiating GPS antenna is fitted. GPS signal reception may be impaired by dense obstacles above the ground such as tall buildings, trees, or extremely bad weather.
In order to operate efficiently, the Product should be positioned with a view to the open sky (through glass is acceptable). Glass with a metallic film, as fitted on some vehicles, may impair the GPS signal. An external automotive re-radiating GPS antenna may be required.
2.3. Temperature
Do not leave the Product lying or mounted on your dashboard where it will be exposed to extreme temperature conditions which can result in malfunctions and/or dangerous situations. The Product may be operated in a temperature range of -10°C to- 60°C (excluding battery charging).
Keep the Product away from moisture and excessive dust. The Product should be used in an atmospheric humidity (non-condensed) of 45% - 80% and stored in an atmospheric humidity of 30% - 90%.
Do not expose the Product to sudden and extreme temperature fluctuations. This may result in condensation forming within the Product causing malfunction or failure.
3. Safety while Operating the Product
IMPORTANT: Failure to adhere to the following guidelines may result in potentially hazardous situations and may result in serious injury or even Death.
Never operate/interact with the Product while you are driving. Use voice prompts while driving in order to minimise the time spent viewing the Product.

The Product is a valuable aid for navigation. It should not be used as a replacement for hard-copy maps and other traditional navigational aids while travelling, especially in remote areas. Always ensure that you have adequate backup systems in place to ensure your personal safety.
Local conditions can change rapidly, therefore it is recommended to seek advice from local authorities and pay attention to all road signs, particularly where those signs advise of serious hazards, such as local flooding etc.
3.2. Battery
This product uses a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery which is not user serviceable and not user replaceable. Failing to adhere to these guidelines may reduce the life expectancy of the battery or present the risk of electrolyte leak, explosion and fire resulting in chemical burn, damage and/or Injury.
3.3 Cleaning the Unit
The Product casing can be cleaned using a cloth slightly dampened with water and a mild detergent and then wiped dry. Care must be taken not to let moisture into the speaker holes or any of the ports, jacks and slots on the Product.
The touch screen may be cleaned using lint free or microfiber cloths. Isopropyl alcohol or water may be applied to the cloth where required to gently wipe the touch screen only.
