It only makes sense to take this route...why try to re-invent the wheel...

plenty of tablets on the market with a lot more power and flexability...any manufacturer would be glad to provide you with one as a platform for your software and a lot easier to update...

just need a good holder....

 

Man I hope you are wrong about a tablet. We will be back to the days of the dummies with a huge laptop screen on their dash. That laptop copilot was the stupidest thing to hit our industry. And there are still a few numbskulls running around using it.

 

Its in stores already. Wonder how dot will like a eight inch tablet mounted to the windshield

 

What is the difference between an 8 inch tablet and a 7 inch gps...just sayin the gps is technically a tablet and they do make smaller tablets

 

Not much but companies are moving to 8 and 9 inch tablets. And phones are creeping up to the 7 inch mark.

Well, this might not be a bad concept. I'd buy a 5-7 inch unit that had a camera plug in option. I've already played with my I phone as a dash cam but hated the fact that the camera could not be adjusted and also have the screen in a position I liked. As it stands I have a GPS, satellite radio, and soon to be dash cam. That is 3 power connections that could be reduced if it was powered from one unit.

 

Get a portable battery charger with multiple outlets to plug all your devices into then plug the charger into one 12 volt power supply

 

When do the map updates come out for the 520's ?
