Finally got the Hema 150k and maps upgrade done and have now been looking at the maps. This what I have noticed so far.
The numbers in brackets (1205) appear to be the year/month that the map was produced.
Australia: 150k. A new colour scheme, but not too bad, but not sure there is any benefit over the 250k. A lot of tracks around Norseman to Peak Charles to Lake King to Cave Hill are missing from the 150k. The 150k still shows the Dunns* Track (Peak Charles towards Ravensthorpe) is still shown although the track is realigned along "Cleared Lines" and the Track is no longer accessible.
Kimberley: Has two maps one in the new style (1406) with a map date of 2014 and one in the old style (1205) with a map date 2012.
Brisbane to Carins (1406) : 2014 Map Scale 1:1,500,000
Cairns to Broome East (1405) :
Cairns to Broome West (1405) :
Goldfields Esperance (0912): Does not appear to have changed
I will add more as I check them.
My thought on doing the update a this stage:
Hema HN7: Maybe only the 150k Map
Hema HN6: Brought after 2012, Maybe only the 150k Map
Hema HN6: Brought before 2012: 150k Map and 4wD Maps
My Hema HN6 was brought in 2013 and I am undecided if the 150k Map and 4wd Maps update at $75.00 is really worth it. Maybe the 150k Map only would have been better or maybe I just wasted $75.00.
Edit*: Typed Mundale when it should have been Dunns
