Iphone as wifi hotspot or a mifi card?

How is the Samsung tablet working for you as a GPS? I was wanting to do the same thing, but was not sure how well it works and the Verizon people I have talked to so far are worthless. They know how to ring you up, but that's about all they can figure out and I am not 100% sure on that since I did not buy it. How big of a data plan do you have with it?

Thanks for the info.

 

I use my moto xoom for my gps and works great. Not truck specific obviously, but that's not really my concern. You can do street view and everything.

 

I'm using a Galaxy Tab 7 with Sprint. Works descent enough with Copilot (car version) and Google navigation. I can't say what the data plan is because it's company issue (electronic log). But Copilot doesn't need data once installed.

Thanks Rookietrucker,
I did realize that you had mentioned your 3gb plan and I just read it for the 3 G network. I would like to use it for the same things you are using yours for. Having a back-up GPS, load planning and email. I like email since everything is in writing. If there are any questions I can pull up the email and it does not get to the you said and I said game. There are some good apps out there as well. Truck stop finder, cat scales and tons of other things. I realize that Verizon offers a no contract tablet as well. I hate contracts and just use their pre paid flip phone right know. It has unlimited calling, text and data for $50,00 and the phone cost $79.00. Unfortunately the web service and screen size suck. ence I am not using any data on that phone. I used to break at least one phone a year, but since I have a cheap one I am doing fine. Go figure. I will stop by my local Costco since they have some deals on tablets and a Verizon kiosk as well.

Thanks again for the help and have a nice fracking day
