Downloaded HEMA North America and will try it out. Seems not to have been updated since its introduction though, and not very much information to be had on how the North American app is progressing in terms of development and future plans.

The OP's post has opened my eyes in terms of FWC's ability to provide a comfortable camping experience in other than a warm, dry environment. Although though having researched the crap out of the Granby, and knowing condensation was a reality, the amount of condensation highlighted in sg1's post...

You download them directly into the app. It's the app that's doing the downloading, after you steer it to what you want to download. You don't seem to be able to separate the map tiles (at least the ones I've downloaded, which include Google Maps) from the app itself.

Downloading some of the advanced MotionX maps can literally take days. Planning a lengthy road trip can mean you're downloading maps for weeks. It's the biggest design flaw in an otherwise excellent app.

This is actually a very small community, one built primarily on trust and honest communication. I'm not sure your blaming this all on an "outside marketing company" really carries any (or enough) weight to outdo the damage that the dishonesty has done to your company. You may wish to address...

Check out the (new and used) truck and camper prices for B.C. here to start: http://www.usedvictoria.com/ https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/search/rva Your budget might not accommodate a truck and camper purchase in B.C. Two popular hard-side brands (both made in B.C.) are Bigfoot and Northern...

That would suck, as it's probably one of the most useful features in MotionX (even though it's not really considered an "approved" use of the download function).

Winter season at or above the 44th or 45th parallel can make it almost impossible to depend on solar. With only 8 hours of the day when the sun is even above the horizon, it can be nearly impossible to get more than a couple of hours where the typical PNW campsite has any sun at all on it.

My Cleanwaste set up isn't really for me, most of the places I set up shop just require a shovel, a hole under the stars, and excellent balance. Even the Strap'n'Crap noted above is seriously over-kit for my solo camping trips :) My accompanied camping trips demand something like the...

robgendreau, I thought the rafting guys used these for durability?: http://partnersteel.com/LG33.htm

The finger pinching description I agree with - I use a pair of needle nose pliers to close mine up, and keep my fingers away from the latches. But "single use"? - Unless it's #2, I use my Wag Bags multiple times (especially during the night), and tie it all up in the morning. They just keep on...

The Cleanwaste "Wag Bag" is 100% odor proof. It's a two bag system, which helps. Also, the first bag is quite thick, and the second bag is at least twice as thick as the first bag. You tie the first bag up, and the second bag has a very heavy "zip lock" type seal system. Of course, with the...

After reading this entire thread more than a few times, I'm unclear on what the compelling reason would be to purchase the "new" HEMA Explorer app over the "mature" GAIA app? Probably an easy question to answer when speaking of two completely different apps, but from what I can deduce reading...

The only real downside to a portable chem toilet is that, despite the sliding shutter between the toilet bowl and the holding tank, that lack of an effective seal on that shutter guarantees that if the holding tank starts to stink, the inside of your camping equipment will stink as well. BUT...

There's nothing wrong with a properly designed "bag" toilet. I'd rather use one of those than use a small chemical toilet that not only has to be constantly doused with chemicals, but also has to be constantly emptied and cleaned (probably by you!). The nice thing about a "bag" toilet is that...

Pictures don't really demonstrate how much interior space (compared to the exterior dimensions) is available in a typical roto-molded pro-audio road case. If these types of cases are something you'd like to pursue, I'd be tempted to go to the Seattle Guitar Center on Westlake Ave. and take an...

Not a good choice IMO. Most road cases as used in pro audio and lighting are either armored cases made out of wood and a laminate (Anvil Cases) and are extremely heavy, OR are of the roto-molded variety and have a rabbits warren of assorted buttresses, braces, and other stiffening "bits" molded...

As much as I love cooking with wood, sometimes propane is just easier (like when it's raining), and I've found this little BBQ is manufactured to the absolute highest quality, is the smallest gas BBQ I've ever seen, and is generally considered the Rolls Royce of marine BBQ's - which most always...

HUGE fan of the Larry-Chair from Travelchair. This thing really comes into its own when you lean it right back. It gives you that living room recliner feel! http://travelchair.com/products/larry-chair-model-169

Because no truck tailgates completely seal, they always let a lot of dust into the box. After 8 hours on a dusty road, wouldn't everything inside that shell being covered with dust?
