Well this is certainly interesting, and unexpected. I thought the laptop was the go to plan, but seems as though the smart phone is it. 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 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, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hey, I have 3 Acers that work great, wife bought an apple and a chromebook for the kids.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
I would use your phone as a WiFi hotspot and connect either an iPad or Android tablet to it. The youngen's could also attach to it if they have devices. For trucking we almost exclusively use Ram mounts for in cab tablets. Rugged and lots of options. https://www.rammount.com/I have several Independent Contract truckers that use Delorme but mostly for the Heavy Class 8 routing. Not applicable to you and very expensive for what you get. ALK Co Pilot is very popular. https://copilotgps.com/en-gb/New guys on the block that are very good is here.com. They have both Android or iOS apps. https://wego.here.com/united-states/cincinnati/city-town-village/cincinnati--840dngym-422178d4722a460b8084b4f15e2464eb?map=39.10661,-84.50455,12,traffic&searchMode=1&msg=CincinnatiI have a Tom Tom that I never use. Just use my phone.
