Here's some numbers to give you a ballpark idea. The Nat Geo set for Colorado is on 7 CD's - and I think it can fit on 1 DVD. So 4-8 Gigs. They are compressed and not super hight resolution. The original geotiff files I think run about 13 Gigs (again, for colorado). I asked about the...

Does look nice. Also check out the clearance section of the apple store. iPad 1 is on a decent discount, and refurb prices reflect this too. Has anyone tried mapbox for the iPad? I made some tiles but wondering how they perform on the iPad. (I dont have one). I can make some topo maps for...

Where is local?

You might also take a look at Garmins mac software - it has come a long way. I'm not sure any of them does live tracking. I'm thinking a gps enabled iPad is the best way to go, though I've thought a bit about the other solution mentioned here - mac mini with USB touch screen. Though ultimately...

Here's a site with a good list of iOS apps that might be relevant to you. http://www.gisuser.com/content/view/22267/28/

I'm not sure what maps gaia uses for South America. I guess it depends on what you want for international. The ArcGIS for iOS has a world topo map that's nice, but offline access isnt there (I think). Another app might be the pdf maps app, which can display geopdfs you download either...

I kind of doubt they will release early (It would be nice since I'm waiting for gen 2 before I think about getting one). I don't think they deviate from their release cycles much. They don't seem to compare themselves to others - they don't necessarily want huge market share. I read this...

My question is, not to get anyone riled up... If you are using a topo maps app, which has a resolution of 4-8 feet per pixel, how does the more accuracy of the gps help? I mean, part of the point of using a tablet is to be able to see more map and get better context of the area so you can make...

Google did reveal they have a tablet in the works. I think Motorola was making the hardware and google said that it would run android 3. Supposed to be out middle of 2011. http://www.pcworld.com/article/212725/google_demos_motorola_tablet_running_android_30.html Of course, not much info.

Any updates on this gps?

I have this jacket. I live in Colorado, it hasn't rained since I got it. But I wanted a jacket that wasnt as heavy as my 11 year old NF Kitchatna and much simpler. I like the construction and it works for me. My wife uses a cloudveil rain jacket and it's still going strong after 4 years or so...

Looks like Audodesk is headed for iOS https://butterfly.autodesk.com/mobile/ as well as mac too, but this is more of an iOS thread. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?siteID=123112&id=15421056

Yeah, several people produce these. Smittybilt makes bolt on ones. This site has several http://www.4wd.com/ There's some more out there, but I'm not sure how to find them.

I remember some really cool Creek* crossing videos from the last frontier fourwheeling club in Alaska. Basically Jeeps crossing fast moving water and sometimes getting carried a little by the current. Their site used to be http://www.northern4x4.com/jeepnfool/ and then it moved a few times...
