| I have just converted all of my maps to work on Android devices. The Android App is called BackCountry Navigator (BCN). I cannot say enough about how much better they look than on any Garmin GPS. The POI icons are gorgeous and show on all levels. I use them on an 8” tablet in my RZR. The maps are many times more clear since Android devices have much better screens than GPS units. BCN is a full fledged GPS that tracks, etc. You can pre-download maps for where you will be riding since you most likely will not have cell service. You don’t need to activate the tablet since you can use it’s WiFi at home to download files and maps. The file linked to below will includes the track/maps for The Paiute, Moab, Taylor Park, and West Virginia. It also has instructions and tips on how to load the maps and download maps along with which maps look the best. http://www.mediafire.com/download/zz5t0tof64fxmc9/BCN_Files_and_Instructions-2014_version-All_Maps.zip | |

| Check out the Ram Mounts for the tablet you have. You may also want to get a waterproof case. All the guys I ride with got Pantech Element 4100 8" tablets that are waterproof. | |
