Laptop GPS
JR:
Cool options. Used just my phone this last weekend and it was OK, but I like a bigger screen when driving.
Some of us don't have the in dash, but I do have 10in Samsung andriod based that would be nice to use. Doubt it has built in GPS though.

Well, as long as it operates in a GPS mode without the use of towers for remote locations, I guess, why not?? One thing I do like about that is the ability to just connect the thing to the onboard multi function dash mounted display and use that device's larger screen.
On thing, though. Last year Duane used the Delorme app with his device (Phone) which showed his location 24/7. I flight followed with him so that someone always had his location. I'd call him and tell him there was a ravine ahead of him or something like that because I could zoom in and look ahead and see actual overhead photos of where he was... Was nice.

I agree will all of the above that Nate, Wyo, but the phone limits on the size of what can be seen, for most of my off network travels I have been using LeadNav app on an Ipad just much easier to see. There are several good ones(apps), some free some you have to buy and then you will have to down load the maps for areas you think you will go when you are off network, if you go the ipad route buy a REALLY GOOD mount so it dose not fall off all the time.
Laptops are so 90's

I do believe there is aftermarket support for IPAD mounts for your suv. Just mount that in place, larger screen, multiple other uses, has its own data plan, can grab and go for a hike, can sink with your current iPhone,
