On a weekend in the Victorian High Country, finding the turn-off is only part of the trip. You might also want to see how steep the next section looks or check which campground has the facilities you need. The 9-inch Alpine INE-AX809-H and 10-inch Alpine INE-AX809-10-H bring Hema Maps into the dash, giving you two screen sizes to consider for your touring setup.
From the highway to the tracks
The INE-AX809-H brings turn-by-turn guidance and Hema Explorer topographic mapping together on a 9-inch laminated HD touchscreen. Follow road directions on the highway, then use the map to get a feel for the terrain as you approach the tracks. On Hema’s 3D Explorer maps, elevation lines show where a route climbs or follows a valley, while track difficulty information can help you decide which way to go.
Find a campsite that suits the trip
A quiet spot for a single night and a powered site for a family stay are two different stops. Hema’s campsite and points-of-interest database lets you check listed facilities, including power and laundry, before deciding where to pull up. Where a listing includes contact details, you can phone ahead to confirm availability.
Prefer a larger map? Meet the 10-inch INE-AX809-10-H
The Alpine INE-AX809-10-H pairs integrated Hema Maps with a larger 10-inch display. If you plan routes with a passenger, the extra screen area makes it easier to point out a junction or trace the next leg together while parked. Like the 9-inch model, it also offers Hi-Res Audio playback and Bluetooth for the drive between stops.
When choosing between the two, consider how the display will sit in your particular dash. An authorised Alpine dealer can help you compare fascia options and check the view from the driver’s seat. That’s especially useful if you’re deciding how much space you want the map to occupy alongside your vehicle’s vents and controls.
Keep your maps ready for the next trip
The 9-inch INE-AX809-H includes three years of free map updates. Before heading away, check for an online update so you have the latest available tracks and points of interest. If you’d like to expand your mapping options, the Hema 4WD Maps collection is available as a separate purchase.
