- We've tried several different ways not to get lost. Several GPS units tried. Avoid our mistakes. Here's what works really well and didn't cost a bundle
APP HERE...
play.google.co...
Waterproof case:
www.amazon.com...
lifetime trail maps has completely become the meta now!
is this an app?
@@CloutTrout yes it is. They also sell preloaded tablets, it’s the only way to go!
Holy smokes when i saw your toy in the water!! lol
how does the GPS work without internet?? and how does it keep track if you have no internet to it usually it requires a phone and then it triangulates the phone through your internet service
It has its own GPS chip. No internet required. If you're buying a tablet for gps then that's what you're looking for in the specs, many tabs require a cell signal
@@oneoffgarage ok that's new . I'm going to have to look into that
If your android device has GPS capability using a Garmin Glo 2 will act as wifi and your device will work.
@@jeffmendez9573 if the android device has gps it doesn't need anything else to work
That back country app do they charge u every month ?
Nope. It was just the first time you dl the app.
Are you still using this app ? Also do you still recommend it?
@@howardmiller4241 still using it, have in 2 of our machines. Works well. Really have no complaints.
Thank you for getting back to me I have the Tab A 10.1 but unable to get the case . If you know of somewhere else I could get one please let me know .
You could have gotten a waterproof Lifetime Trail Maps system twice over with all of that...
Yep. That's why I'm sharing it, hopefully save people some money and give options
It seem that this tablet can't work whitout wi-fi,so not real GPS.
This Samsung Tab A works without wifi, has its own GPS chip. Works well
what mount do you use
Just the can am oem, works fine
Love your shirt, hell yeah brother

Very informative. Good vid!!
Cool. Thanks for checking it out
It helped me thanks.
Ffs 4:57, YOUR WELCOME EVERYBODY the uploaded did a poor job covering the name of the app so here I am doing it
Back country is the app, I'll add it the description. For those who miss it in the video
Good video. Hook up a Garmin Glo to it.
That Garmin is for hikers.
Do you need a garmin glo to use with the tablet? Or does the tablet not need anything to connect for gps without wifi.
That tab has an independent gps chip, no cell needed. Some have it, and some don't. I've since since upgraded to the active pro rugged tab, it has the gps chip as well
Lifetime Trail maps rocks...
I've not got the chance to try them yet but I've heard great things
Just the info I needed. Running a tabA 6 and wanting to go larger with the same x3 and mount with case. I take it that setup mounts just right with the tablet mount and water prof case?
Yep works great, recommended!
This dude rants but doesn’t tell anything about what app it is!
Back County is the app, I mention that in the video.
What is the exact Samsung tablet model? Thanks
That tab was the t580. 10.1 screen. Manufactured I believe in 2016. I've since moved up to the Samsung galaxy tab active pro. The waterproof case cracked after 3yrs of use. The active pro is a rugged tab. No case needed. I couldn't find the same case I used on the t580. Hope that helps.
I want to know what app guided you into that river? Hahaha. I want to avoid that one.
I believe he was using the Miller lite 2.0. 🤣
Are you still using this tablet or do you have another one you are suggesting?
Still going strong in 2 machines
what is the app that your using
Back Country. Works well
What size is your tablet and the case brand name? Thanks!
Samsung Tab A 10.1. I just looked up the case. It was made by Temdan but is currently unavailable
You need an galaxy active tab 3 bro
What's the benefit over the Tab A?
@@oneoffgarage Both do the same job but the active tab have military-grade protection and IP68 water and dust resistance
Can we get a link to the tablet and case please ?
Temdan was the make of the case, last I saw it was unavailable on Amazon. The tab is a Samsung Tab A. Just make sure it has the stand alone GPS. I believe it changed over the model years
@@oneoffgarage how do I check that
@@thatfreeamericantv923 usually found in the specs, ot Google tabs that don't require cell signal
How do you charge that tablet on the trail?
Using the 12v power supply on the dash of the x3, on others rigs that didn't have one we've just added a USB plug switch. I've also seen a guy bring a power bank as back up.
@@oneoffgarage But then it isn’t waterproof?
@@danlux4954 if your charging it I suppose you would leave an area open if you submerged it. It can only attest to that fact that while not being charged the case held up underwater some some time.
@@oneoffgarage that’s why I bought a Garmin Montana 750i with an extra battery. Cheaper than an iPad with a waterproof case. But I might go that way in my sxs to have a bigger screen.
Plug onto a tree and wait for the lightning.
Does the gps map work without service? I ride in and out of service?
No cell service needed, I ride in the same kinda stuff.
