Has anyone tried or using Lifetime Trail Maps out in Northern Nevada. Thinking about which navigation system works best
Yep, that's what I'm doing. BTW, don't use an Amazon Fire tablet to do this. They don't have a GPS sensor.Had a hand held Garmin, now an trying a Magellan. Their has to be something better. Maybe a rugged tablet and GIA GPS.
If you do an apple tablet it has to be a cellular tablet to have the gps chip enabled. You don’t have to have cellular turned on but it has to be a tablet that original was sold with cellular. Wifi only Apple tablets need a Bluetooth gps dongle. Just an FYI.OK, thanks for the information. I think I need more than Garmin or Magellan.
I’m not a Samsung guy. I just bought a cheap used tablet off eBay. 🤷🏻♂️I am currently a Samsung Phone dude, any specific tablets to recommend.

I'm with ya on the Samsung, GW. Been scoping out the S5e as a replacement, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. The Active series seems a little pricey when you could throw on a decent case and be fine, IMO.Anyone looked at these?

Well damn, just downloaded the a new Lifetime sub onto my Tab A 8.0. How does one use Gaia and and whats Mud Con?I have a Samsung tablet with lifetime trail maps and Gaia on it. I got in with lifetime when they were new and cheaper. I don’t think it’s worth it. I prefer the Gaia interface and have moved most of my stuff over. You can find almost all the same maps lifetime uses from mud con online and load into whatever platform you like. 👍🏻
I use Gaia exclusively now. Mudcon is the guy/online server where lifetime trail maps got all his maps to start from. Now he can get all your maps backfed through the tablet since you use his program. That guy is not looked upon as a nice guy in our industry and he has a lot of enemies.Well damn, just downloaded the a new Lifetime sub onto my Tab A 8.0. How does one use Gaia and and whats Mud Con?
Reading Google play reviews just now. I'm pretty much am idiot when it comes to these things and bought this because someone on a ride I was on a couple of weeks ago was using it. Does using Gaia required high functioning computing skills to operate it?I use Gaia exclusively now. Mudcon is the guy/online server where lifetime trail maps got all his maps to start from.
