GPS in race cars

[crazywatson]

Is there anyone using a tablet for there GPS in the race car or does everyone use Lowrance? What are the benefits of using a Lowrance over a tablet or visa versa? I'm looking to put in a Nice GPS in my recreation car and trying to figure out what is best.

Lots of racers using LeadNav and a Tablet.

We still use Lowrance in the race car. I have both in my Pick Up. Will put the tablet in the race cars someday.....

Seems to be a lot of people moving towards the tablet, awesome tech for sure and mob armor guys at SSSS told me they were coming out with their own navigation software... another advantage, you xould load your repair manual on the tablet in case you broke down on the trail, instant diagnostic help or maybebyour a music guy, load your music up too. Then if you need a camera to capture that one moment, bam, snap a pic...

I've been using a Lowrance for 9 years. It works fine, but is hard to learn and navigate through the menus when you don't ride every day or even every week. I put my iPad Air in my Rzr last season using the Leadnav app. Best off road accessory ever! I downloaded satellite imagery for all the places I ride. I can literally see alternate trails around me as I drive. I also have Californiatrailsmap loaded into the Leadnav app. I highly recommend it too. That's the second pic.

Sounds like I'm getting a tablet

Both Wayne and Kristin matlock exclusively use a tablet running LeadNav on it. I personally use LeadNav and Gaia for my nav requirements

I just installed an iPad and mob armor mount in my new build. I don't see ever running a Lowrance again. Between LeadNav and Motion X there is. I need for a GPS unit as long as you download maps.
