Hmmm, I said. I can 'hotspot' to my phone and have Google maps plus a decent WiFi device camping, hotel, whatever, and a hell of a GPS display on the bike. I found a Garmin quick release mount that fits perfectly and the pics tell the rest. Is BIG. Does not block the view of my console but.....
The tablet arrived today and actually was in totally new condition, not a mark on it and once connected to my home network, works amazingly fast, updated automatically to latest version of Android.
