Is there a huge difference in the lowrance baja units and there fishing chart plotters? I have a hds10, and 5 for my boat could I just throw a card in my fishing unit and use it for offroad? It already has tons of roads and highways on it? Just a thought.

 

[All The Way]

Search around you can get the 5m baja for $450... found one
LOWRANCE ELITE-5M BAJA

Thats where I got mine from.

There's an iPhone app too.

Definitely cheaper. Wait the iPad 3 doesn't have GPS antenna? Try the Google Maps app I suggested to Wilson. I can't remember which one I have since my company gave it to me...maybe a 4? Not a big fan of Apple

The iPad with just WIFI uses WIFI routers to triangulate your position...so in populated areas you might be ok but not in the sticks...plus I hear the accuracy is 5 to 10 meter off...so no joy on the WIFI only iPad...

But I think I will spend the $100 for a receiver:

- ELPH 1000
-Dual Electronics XGPS150A Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver for Portable Devices

Plus if I get a router in the truck...I can watch movies, surf, check emails from my laptop, iPad, PC etc...

Maybe I can put a big TV in the bed to watch some adult movies...circle up...

Well I found the iPad/NAV mount from Ram Mounts that I think will work best(especially if I don't have a co-pilot). Will test it out when I am Rausch on the 8th.

So you have to drill the console for that?

No, it mounts with the bolt that holds the seat to the floor.
