[QUOTE="Yukon Joe, post: 998345, member: 2921"] Hey Mike, I use the Samsung tablet. I've used it to lead many runs, including GLRE'S Snoball for the past 3 years. The GPS signal has never been an issue in the truck once it acquires the GPS. A few things you will want to do before your road trip. 1. You want to find a good mount for your tablet. I personally like the RAM mount with suction cup. 2nd. You will want to be sure to have it powered at all times. The backcountry navigator app along with the GPS uses the battery. The USB port in the Raptor is not strong enough to charge the tablet. Therefore, you need to use either the cigarette lighter to charge it or buy an adapter for the USB port. 3rd. You will want to download the maps in the region you will be going to at the beginning of each day. Or download the whole area prior to your trip. You will want to download at a zoom level of 16. This can take several hours to download depending on your Wi-Fi connection. Best of luck, you may want to try out the tablet before your trip. And as always please post some pics when you get back.
