you are the one who called me a liar, you are the one who tells me its possible by adding things on to a tablet, now you are saying I am confusing people and telling them to spend money, wtf? i never recommended a device, i only said wifi wont triangulate when there are no known hotspots, do...

you are comparing flying to off roading, two completely different subjects, you need faster and better accuracy, off road you need to be within 10 meters

it does not matter, the point is its possible, let alone it still works this is what I do for a living, I better know what I am talking about

check this out, you do not need a gps receiver, there are hundred of articles like this and apps that share location info between the devices https://www.wired.com/2011/03/does-tethered-iphone-send-gps-to-wi-fi-ipad/

thank you for proving my point, a stock tablet cannot generally use gps, it can use the wifi card in populated areas, but since there will be no wifi, he cannot rely on the triangulation

you should be able to by linking the phone to the tablet since they are from the same mfr they should expose the service

you are talking about adding a device, stock tablets generally do not have a gps chip, out in the woods you cannot rely on wifi, simply put I am still correct

actually I am not wrong, in a ms environment, where I do all of my work I am quite correct. as I stated, I am not well versed in apple and also android. I did mention it makes sense that a mfr would expose services between its devices and what I was referring to is if you are using your wifi...

apple to apple may be different, I work and play in a ms environment cell phones have agps, or assisted gps. it uses signals from measured locations, along with gps. it would make sense using one manufacturers devices that extra features are shared (in this case gps) to make you use their...

if you are going through all of that why not just run off your phone? the phone will not expose its gps to other connected devices. I am sure some phones can, but as a rule you cannot just connect to a phone and run gps on another device. if you for example had a cellular modem in the truck...

just to be clear, a stock tablet will work for GPS, it will triangulate off the wifi card. if you go off road, there is no wifi. without a local wifi to triangulate to (actually 3 or more), there will be no gps. a gps chip should get you to within 10 meters, wifi triangulating in a remote...

I do stuff like this for a living, I have a mobile app that runs on a tablet... you will need a gps chip in the tablet, while it can use wifi to triangulate, since you are going to be in the woods, if you even have a wifi signal, the location may not be well known (your phone will use the wifi...

this is available from power trays now, I have one going in on 2/26. I am going to use one breaker for the fuse box and right now the other breaker will be doing nothing. just throwing this out as an option...

I am not a mechanic, but my old Tacoma had a similar issue, I would put in in 4wd and it would not come on for a while, the dealer told me nothing was wrong. I had them go to another truck and try that to see the difference then they admitted there was a problem. after many many hours on the...

if you look at my other posts on the new powertray, it has two breakers on it, so you could run a winch off of it sorry if they came across as a lecture, but I would hate to see you do any harm
