    Following also! Just curious is the Eld 50 linked with the RM tablets? Also drive with a 2 truck fleet and looking at options!

    Yes it should link to the RM tablets according to what I have read so far. It says most newer Android devices as well.
    I will be testing it with a Samsung Galaxy tablet and might see if it will connect to my Garmin GPS that has bluetooth and E-log built into it, so not sure that the Garmin will work.

    Waiting on a load so I can hit a Loves and pick one up...On sale for 140 right now.
    Online they are around 175..

    In the mean time I'm enjoying my vacation day off!...:D

    ELD 50 connects via a App on the electronic device.. so another GPS will not work. It must be able to have the App installed.

    The app should install fine on my Samsung tablet....It is free in the google app store.
    I would rather have it on my tablet instead of my Android phone.

    I can use the phone as a wifi hotspot and email logs to the office......At least I hope it will work that way.
    From what I have read the app puts your logs in PDF files so that should work out fine.
    It also has a web portal for PC.

    I Just bought the RM 740 So I would liked to pair it with the ELD50. I had hoped to see some feed back from actual users. I guess I jump in to the deep also! Can you also pair it they a ap with your iPad?
