The Droid gaydardetector is waterproof to 4ft of H2o pressure, tested that on accident several times on the jetskiis this past summer. The downfall is now the battery is sealed and you can't pull it like on the previous older (non waterproof) droids. I guess a fair trade especially in this instance.What happens when it rains?
Could be a problem maybe?, so far on 2 trips with it (in my truck), never touched it after I configured where I wanted to go. The Droid phone was on the bike last year and if I pressed hard enough (with my glove fingertip) it took the press, not perfectly every time, sometimes I had to double n even triple tap it. So I'm thinking the tab will be about the same. Time will tell.What about operating the Tab screen with the gloves?
What apps / hardware are you using for radar detection with Droid?The Droid gaydardetector is waterproof to 4ft of H2o pressure, tested that on accident several times on the jetskiis this past summer.
I got a couple apps that work (just OK) but not as good as the iSmart one I have from Escort. I mounted the sensor (pretty small) box just under the headlights, back in a bit and you never notice it (hidden?). Kinda nice as it works wireless (BT) to your iPhone or Droid. Downfall? Pricey like all Escort prods.What apps / hardware are you using for radar detection with Droid?The Droid gaydardetector is waterproof to 4ft of H2o pressure, tested that on accident several times on the jetskiis this past summer.
Good input and thanks ...I agree with your assessment.I installed Co-Pilot Live on my Nexus 7 last week and have used it a few times in my wife's Honda Civic. I love the large screen and the graphics are so much better than my Garmin Zumo 665 but Co-Pilot lacks some of the data info the Garmin gives you.
For motorcycle use it was mentioned above if you are going to ride more than two hours you will want USB connections. Since I can't for the life of me figure out why I would need a GPS if I'm only going to ride no more than a hour away from home it would seem USB connections would be a no brainer requirement for whenever GPS use was needed.
Co-Pilot Live does not auto zoom when coming into town like the Garmin. Also I can't figure out how you can use the menu or zoom the map if it is enclosed in a waterproof case. Sometimes the screen blacks out and I can't get Co-Pilot Live to display itself again unless I go into the Nexus 7 Settings/Apps/Co-Pilot Live and press the Force Stop button and then restart the program.
But I do like using Co-Pilot Live in the car.
While riding my M/C I can only see using Co-Pilot Live on the Nexus 7 only when stopped by the side of the road. When moving I will only use the Garmin.
You won't need the Sprint (3G or 4G) connectivity (tether) of course as maps are pre-downloaded, and more info on the mount I made is yours, what ya need? The Tab2 with the dual processor handles the Co-Pilot fast & flawlessly. It acquires the birds (satellites) faster than any stand alone GPS currently out there. As said there are some big pluses, maybe I/we can tweak n fine tune it enough to bring it to our sport.I am LOVING this idea!
I thought of buying a Tab for this also, And using my Sprint Galaxy S2 Wifi Tether for mobile connectivity. I have been a mobile internet user for almost 10 years with my laptop off the cellular towers, And the tech in the new Tabs make it even better.
More info on that mount would be all i need to start my own project.
Thanks for the great topic!
Well hang on to your cash, we're still in master-beta mode on thisThis is just the excuse I need to buy a Tablet
As said, there is waterproof covers and bags for the Tab2, multiple listings on fleabay. Being*BUMP*
Any news on how things are going?
How about a link to where you bought the cradles for each device?and more info on the mount I made is yours, what ya need?
SlipGrip Mounts. They have all cradles for every make and model you may have. They're are on fleabay as well, easy search there with your make/model with the added "ram mount" should do the trick. The rails that hold the 2 mounts to the stem mount was homemade as in orig postings.and more info on the mount I made is yours, what ya need?

I saw those, they're on fleabay as well for 14.99 shipped and excellent find, Thank you!. Your Wally link is a lil cheaper, not sure on ship + tax. It looks like the hanger-clips will go right over the unit and the cradle. I just may have to add this to my projectWould this sun shade be any use for the glare?https://www.walmart.com/ip/Arkon-SGT-7SS-Sun-Shade-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab/16480596
