Here is a quick tutorial on the Custom Maps feature - video to follow http://tlcfaq.com/main/2013/08/motion-x-custom-maps/

If you have a map server URL you can point to you can use USFS maps. I'll be doing a write up and short video of how to do it. Here are some I have in MotionX

Motion x GPS HD v21 has a custom map option. You can get anything Gaia has.

Lets be clear about v21... There is a custom map option, in app purchase, for $5. This will give you all the maps you want by simply entering the map server URL (readily available) I have ESRI Usgs Topo, bing sat, google terrain and hybrid all downloadable. Regarding the lure of the earlier...

There's no right answer for people's preferences. I have two issues with Gaia. It crashes with large data sets. The user interface is not suitable for use while in motion. The map problem with motion x is that FullPower (makers or motion x) are following the TCs from Google and others...

I've tested the add-on for custom maps and a single URL can bring in the entire map set. I've only looked at the sample usgs topo Basemaps and mapquest sats, both work as suggested. We need to get source URLs for historical topos but all I've seen are single maps rather than tiled sets...

Motion X is by far my favorite in terms of usability relative to user interface. The challenge has been map selection. Mx has caching on all map types it supports. Caching is different than offline/downloadable as it stores only recently used map tiles versus premeditated map tile selection...

This version doesn't restore the downloadable Bing maps. V21 does get Google maps back as cacheable not downloadable. There is a cosmetic make over which I think improves usability. Waypoint storage increased from 500 to 2500. An interesting new feature is an in App purchase for $4.99 that...

I literally have no extra time right now to hunt down a box, package, weigh and setup a pickup for UPS. Not trying to difficult. We can prob work it out in a few weeks. Do you want springs and torsion bars? Where am I sending them?

I use a repurposed cell phone holder with double stick tape to the dash and Otterbox defender cover for the mount. This is for my iPad mini. My original iPad mount can be seen in this article. Look mid page for the video. The mount concept is the same as above with slightly different parts...

Sorry I guess I should have been clear. I'm too busy to ship and likely too lazy. :)

I have stock LC torsions and rear springs in San Jose CA if anyone wants to test this.

I agree with Mike and others on the Exped MegaMats. We ditched out inflatable mattress and bought 2 of them for our queen size sleeping bag. Awesome comfort. And with awesome comfort comes an awesome price tag of $450 (pair). Worth it. I have an open cell mat like the cabelas link above - not...

to be clear my recommendation for iPad as offroad nav is for vehicle use where a 7 or 10 inch screen is useable. for hiking or hand held use i would defer to a 62 or the like.

You can run multiple apps at the same time and that said, likewise I've never had a failure hardware (3 different iPads) or software Motion X GPSHD. Trimble app = suck. Unfortunately you found out. My earlier point - a developer can come along and build the killer app for nav and you can add it...

Bill I've been using the iPad for nav since May of 2010. I have used all of the available nav apps - seriously like 25+. It's unfortunate that MotionX is no longer offering the map selection it once had though the original open cycle maps it had at v1 still work well. They may bring them back...
