Certain GPS models work as stand-alones paired directly to their ELD plug, and if you're in the market for a GPS and an ELD, it would make sense to buy one of those models. The Dēzl570 I had unfortunately isn't one of them, and I wasn't about to buy another GPS...so it required a phone or tablet. Since I wasn't going to use my phone, I bought a tablet...and keep mobile data and wifi turned off while going down the road...only bluetooth (to pair with the ELD) and location services (so the ELD knows where I'm at) stay on. Once that phone or tablet is paired with the ELD and the GPS, the GPS displays the hours until your next required break...which is nice, because you can shut off the screen on the phone or tablet to conserve the battery (even though it says to keep it plugged in while driving...which just seems like a great way to shorten battery life).
ELD apps for phones?
