USE A TABLET or PHONE AS YOUR GPS UNIT ?

 

 

• Can a tablet be used as a navigation device on a motorcycle?
• Yes it can, but with some caveats.
• While it may not be the perfect solution, it is indeed a solution…and a pretty economical one at that.
• Screen size is just right, with lots of hi-res real estate for mapand info displays available with less scrolling required compared to standard GPS devices.

No Cell Connection Needed: Off-Line Motorcycle GPS

 

• This article entitled “Using a Tablet as a Motorcycle GPS” is pretty good.
• It details how you can use a smartphone or a relatively inexpensive tablet as a widescreen GPS device on your motorcycle, saving hundreds of dollars off the cost of a dedicated Garmin or GPS unit.
• In fact, the movement from dedicated GPS units to smartphone- or tablet-based GPS is picking up steam, although where it will all end is still to be determined.
