I’ve been using a iPad mini with the MotionX-GPS app for a while now. And a Dual Bluetooth GPS receiver.

But if I’m local in WI, now I just use google maps on the 8.4 radio display with CarPlay. If you’re going to be out of cell phone coverage just download the area on google maps app for offline use.

How in the hell do you get your antenna to hook up with the Ipad???
It’s not. When I’m using the iPad I use the the dual GPS receiver which connects by Bluetooth.
And when I use CarPlay on the radio display it pulls from my iPhone.

I meant the GPS antenna/receiver. Mines on the bluetooh but doesn't seem to want to talk to the ipad

Okay, neither Gaia or Backcountry Navigator are available on Windows, so it looks like I'll give up my Surface Go wishes.
I do use an iPhone and it looks like Gaia will support CarPlay early in 2019 (or so they say) which means I should be able to view the app/maps from my in-dash screen, which means I won't even need a tablet.
If I do want to do more than what I can do on CarPlay, I can use my phone, a laptop using a browser (with downloaded maps), or my son's iPad.
Thanks for the advice!
Edit: meant to say that I'll also try out downloaded Google maps. If I decide I really like Gaia, I'll probably do a membership.
