So, I found a mount to hold my tablet where I want it. Some of you recommended this app for my Android tablet on the Facebook page. The problem is, I can't figure out how to work the app? I thought I was fairly tech savvy. I just don't understand what the instructions are talking about? I think its written in Calculus? It seems to think I know whats going on in the world of TOPO maps? Any of you understand this thing?

I've found it great as a "you are here" with offline topo maps in very fine detail, but I've never invested the time to do a lot of route planning off-road with it.

Try the "Mapping, Navigation, GIS" subforum. Have you checked out the many "how to" vids on YouTube?

This is the mount I purchased:

That style mount is great on road... but if you are hauling down back roads it will be bouncing all over the place. I found my tablet required 2 points of contact to be functional while driving on rough roads.

Yep, I will be making some modifications. Just getting a mount for the location I wanted was the hardest part. The way it sits right now, the tablet rests against the dash and the "Oh ****" bar. I will secure it to that bar.
