    It won't fit in the case !! I'm going to put it on the outside of the cover . We have down loaded some apps and are going to try it out in the boat today .

    O.K Lets get this stuff of course the Best GPS

    Yep it ain't the Tablet or Phone

    I know, because I have both

    The problems with Tablets and phone is most of em are not water-proof, shock-proof

    They are so complex that it will take you years to figure it all out on what they are capable of

    I am getting older and do not have as much time to waste figuring out a freaking phone or tablet

    Getting one of those gadgets is like going to a Mexican place to order Chinese food

    Get a unit that is made to be a GPS not a phone or tablet

    My Navi has all the topo maps and trails in-stalled, Its Water-proof, shock- proof and I can-not say enough good things about it

    Sure I love the tablet, for surfing inter-web, watching Video, music, karaoke, e-mail and so forth

    How-ever that is what is was made to do

    So the Best GPS is one that is made to be a GPS

    The Garmin Nuvi is a Piece of Cake to operate as a GPS,

    So there you have the Best GPS IMO

Ram mounts are used and battery life is long, and the option of powering it up with a USB cord is popular also.....by using a TOPO app like BCNP and also downloading Forest Service MVUM's, and leaving both programs active on your tablet, you can navigate with a TOPO map and see which of the FS's service roads and trails are "open"......


    I took fast phils advice and purchased a 7" tablet !! Finally got to try it out this last weekend and I'm very happy with how it works . I did purchase Backcountry Navigator Pro ! there is a free one but purchased the better one for $12 .
