How did you mount your iPAD, Nexus 7, other Android Tablet ect? (PICTURES!!!)
Hi,
I am wondering how did you all mount your iPAD, Nexus 7, other Android Tablet ect in a 3rd Gen?
So far I have seen two valid examples. One is how RickAshey did which is using an arm that connects to a seat mount and the other is using a mount from ProClips..
I am really interested on advice and pictures of how it is mounted. Links for purchase / model numbers would be great as well.
The ProClips mounts are expensive but I am considering getting one.
Proclipusa.com ---> *ProClipUsa.com Car Mounts for Mobile Phones, Tablet, and Handheld Devices
Piece #1 ($50)
Google Nexus 7 (Asus) - Holder with Tilt Swivel*-*ProClip Car Mounts for Mobile Phones, Tablet, and Handheld Devices
Piece #2 ($20)
ProClip Center Mount*-*ProClip Car Mounts for Mobile Phones, Tablet, and Handheld Devices
This is ABLMs mount.

RAM Mounts http://www.rammount.com makes some really nice mounts for just about everything you can think of. I used it for my Garmin GPS and my SPOT locator. I could easily mount a small tablet to it with the right adapters.
Speaking of tablets, I just picked up a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) that i'm going to use for navigation out in the woods. I bought the Backcountry Navigator app for $10, and upgraded to the AccuTerra map set for another $25. I thought about installing a dedicated mount in the 4Runner for it, but I decided against it. I have a pretty good idea where I'm going for the most part, and I will mainly use it to see where side trails/forks in the road go, and where exactly I am on a given trail. I decided to just get a nice leather case for it instead.

Do the tablets you guys use have GPS capabilities?
My Nexus 7 doesn't. It can still show me maps, but I lose the navigation and route tracking abilities. Maybe I can use these same apps with my android phone.
I was checking out the "backcountry navigation" one that
@ Dirtco
suggested, seems really useful.

Not a 4Runner.... but my buddy made an in-dash setup for the I-pad in his CRV! He still needs to relocate his temp controls... but has a plan for this, and should be done soon!
Turned out pretty sick! He uses his as a Head Unit, and has it hooked up to his subs and amp.

I'm pretty sure the N7 has navigation functionality as long as you have WiFi either through a hotspot modem or teathering via 3G/4G.

Yeah but with my limited data plan I can't use the mobile hotspot thing very long. I think I'm still gonna get that maps pack though. Just want the summer needs.

I know with my Android phone, I can download maps for offline use with the stock Maps app, and I don't need a data connection to navigate or use the maps then. I would think this would also be an option for the Nexus 7, as long as you're on the latest version of Android?
Edit: Although the link that jrm gave up there seems to indicate that you would still need to have connection to start the navigation, so sounds like that backcountry navigation app is probably still your best shot.

My Samsung Tab 2 10.1 has GPS. I use BCN and cache the maps so I don't need internet in the field.

For offroad mapping software, download GAIA. It's amazing. Just enable the USFS topo maps and many of the forest service roads are shown too.
I use this as my temporary map holder - only when out on 'adventures'. Otherwise it stays out of the way. It was only 11 when I bought it last september, but its stout and holds well.
