Good morning travellers.
I have stressfully installed a new head unit into my car and whilst I would like to install the Traveller maps to this unit, I can't due to technical issues (which are apparently being worked on).
For the interim, I have my old Hema maps on an old Samsung Tablet.
The new unit does have a GPS thingy in it?
Is it possible to take the maps off the Tablet and install them directly into the new head unit?
Maybe using a USB?
Is there an alternative/easier way?
I know next to nothing about computers or anything digital so any plain English help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
Deejay.

Hi Deejay,
Whilst you will get some answers on the
forum, you are better logging this question on the help desk. David or Michelle will be able to definitively answer your questions.

But I think he wants help using his Hema maps currently on his Samsung.

Hi David & Michelle,
That is not how I read this. He is having trouble installing the Traveller Maps to his new head unit. In the interim, he is using Hema Maps on an old Samsung tablet.

Perhaps Deejay can clarify… I read it that he has a hardware problem with the headunit that is being investigated by supplier hence he cant use Traveller on it til thats fixed. His question relates to using his Hema maps currently on his Samsung but he wants to use on the headunit. That is not an ExplorOz issue. But I may be misinterpreting it.

I thought I'd explained the problem pretty clearly but I'll try again.
I have an old Samsung Galaxy Tab Lite tablet with Hema maps on, which I want to retire.
I have recently installed a Vhedia head unit into my car.
It comes with Apple car play and Android.
To avoid having to buy new maps, I want to know if it's possible to transfer the Hema maps from the Tablet into the head unit
If it is, how do I do it?

Firstly the OP hasn't provided enough information to give an answer. Does the head unit run Android Auto or the full Android O/S. If only Android Auto then options are limited by the software that can be run. If full Android does it have an SD card slot, that would one way to transfer the Hema map files. The other option is to download them again, either from the original source or save the files to your Google drive and retrieve from there. You would have to load the Hema app as
well from the play store. Given DeeJay's stated lack of expertise I think a step by step guide through the process would be required and for this an exact description of the system is needed.
