Tablet as GPS

**Pedro_The_Swift** · 18th February 2018, 10:33 AM

I recently acquired a Galaxy Tab A. Its the 7" model.
As Navbitch finally carked it I'd like to use this for GPS purposes.

Any advice on
A : software
B : mounting bracket.

I would like it to sit up on top of the dash.

Will I need a shroud if its up there?

Pedro a Ram seat rail bracket, long flexible arm and Tough Tray 2 universal tray is the go. I have used mine off road many times with an IPad 2. I like memory map and the maps they use.

Cheers

My set up has tablet top just above dash...so not as high as you might like. Cheers

M8 it's the best gear. I like the TT2 because it holds the tablet tight but also will take any sort.

I also use RAM in the boat
