mid april is traditionally new iPad season.

The GPS is independent of your network connectivity on a cellular equipped iPad. Read my FAQ on the topic. http://forum.tlcfaq.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=26

V20 of motion x GPS HD removed bing. If you've got v19 I'd stay there. I did. I have GPS kit and it has sat image maps. Nice app but interface not near as good as mx.

Motion x GPS HD is traditional navigation between waypoints. It's not designed for turn by turn. Motion x Drive HD has turn by turn. GPS HD relies on loading maps on the fly via network or pre caching them. MotionX GPS drive relies totally on network connectivity. So neither one of these...

I think the parts prices are very reasonable esp. coming from a German make. Here is a resource I created to compare 100 series vehicles equipment - might help you. http://forum.tlcfaq.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=162

Here is an upcoming storage build... it's interesting to me because of the dedicated storage racking above the drawer and fridge. It's for a Land Cruiser 100 http://forum.tlcfaq.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=204

If you plan to do GPS activities with an iPad you should just buy the Cellular version that includes the GPS chipsets - they are $129 premium over non cellular. Spending 80-120 on an external GPS puck seems pointless and annoying to have to fiddle with. I understand if you have an install that...

It's true that cellular equipped iPads have assisted GPS, your explanation is incorrect. Assisted GPS augments the normal GPS hardware by using cell site location to narrow position geography quickly and provides initial position error correction to the native GPS hardware. Basically it can...

There are a variety of wifi cameras on the market, typically in the security space.Google. They all require hacking for automotive use. Last summer valeo announced exactly what your looking for, Valeo Wireless Vue Wi-Fi Rear Camera. Hasn't seen market yet.

Wifi camera - ipad picks it up via app or browser.

OP - There are a few conflicts in your description. As mentioned if you bought a 4g model you don't need any extra hardware. If you bought wifi you will need GPS hardware. Take a look at my iPad Nav FAQ.

I love they way these things work for messaging as a nice-to-have but I'm not sure I would count on them for SAR. They are low power and attached to commercial networks. There is a difference between satellite messaging devices with 911 capability and a locator beacon.

If you want the real deal I would opt for an ACR PLB. It wont send text messages but it will summon help at least "60% of the time every time."

v20 Motion X currently has the original map sets from way back in v16. When I emailed them regarding the change it has to do with licensing. It was suggested the maps will be back in a future upgrade. These guys upgrade the app a lot. MotionX didn't have topo maps before, it had, and continues...

I've got 4 days off... sat-sun-mon-tue (29-1st)... GF said Death Valley. Any interest in that?

not natively possible... there are cameras that transmit over wifi via a built in web server but that wont have your automated functionality. I would look into a rear view mirror/monitor setup for the back up cam

Yep motion x HD will do that. If you haven't read my iPad stuff check the link in my sig and you can probably pick up some info to get you going.

The LTE Mini has the GPS hardware. You need a mapping application to use it. Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
