I know I have seen a pre programmed navigation tablet someone was selling on here but can't seem to find it. Doing mostly riding in eastern Kentucky. Or would it be better to just buy a tablet and buy the programs? What is everyone's recommendation.

I’d buy a tablet at Best Buy, Costco etc. Then find the software of your choice. Samsung tablet is popular. (That’s what I did)

Lifetime trail maps is the popular preprogrammed and regularly updated product.
There are a number of free solutions as well. The trail maps might not be current though.
It depends on what you’re truly looking for.

Samsung Tablet Suggestions
Looking for suggestions on what Samsung Tablet to get for mapping. Hoping to find a good deal on one during Prime Days. What model is the best bang for the buck? I really don't use for anything but loading maps on for riding. My old tablet took a crap last year after about 10 yrs of use...

P1000 - Gps and vvmapping
I am looking at getting either a tablet or garmin GPS unit to use with vvmapping software. Anyone have a similar setup? Show me where and how you have your GPS units (tab or dedicated gps) mounted. I am leaning more toward a tablet just because it provides more functionality than a dedicated gps...

Samsung tablets have the best built-in GPS chip.
Then, purchase and install Lifetime Trail Maps (or any other inferior navigation solution of choice).

I'm using GAIA GPS on my iPad and have been very happy with it. Being able to record my tracks 'forever' is much better than the dedicated GPS units with limited track storage capability.
Making new tracks is my SxS hobby. I have 16k miles on my Talon, this shows many of them.

There are tons of options for doing this. Sone are inexpensive and some more pricy. I purchased Lifetime Trail maps and found it too involved regarding realtime navigation at speed. If you have a co pilot maybe not? Google is your friend.

I used GAIA Pro, but my clients shifted to Avenza Maps - so I had to, too. Avenza has a bit of a learning curve, but it works well. It also has access to tons of free or cheap Govt. maps.

If i were doing it again ,I would purchase a quality Samsung tablet and install the Mapping software my self. There are MANY places you can get the tracks online.
