    Need opinions on this setup, please.

    I have the iPad Pro 11" and the Inreach Mini, running the exact combination you're describing. Since the iPad uses the Inreach Mini for gps, I got the wifi only version of the iPad and saved myself some $. The inreach mini is also nice, because you can set it up to upload your location every 5...

    Me too... I am a heavy Gaia user and would love to have it on Carplay in my Wrangler.

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I think it's worth it too. The map selection and the ability to layer them on top of each other makes the upgrade a very very good value.

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    Using my iPad Pro 11, Seems like somewhat frequently, if I'm adding and removing layers, changing opacity, GAIA seems to hang and nothing displays except my own waypoints, tracks, etc over a blank canvas. Does this happen to anyone else?

    MVUM trails vs USFS roads

    Dude, this is a great question and one that routinely frustrates me as well. The short answer is, 801 is a road maintained by Colorado's Park County. So the USFS doesn't include it in their MVUM. I think the maps would be way more useful if they identified all the roads contained within the...

    This is AWESOME!!!

    My thoughts, take them with a grain of salt... Looks like it will need a lot of data bandwidth and processor. Which isn't necessarily a problem. Based on the preview the video, a lot of functionality is still going to require a data connection to your mobile provider (Verizon, AT&T, etc)...

    Kayaks - Inflatable, Rigid, Folding. . . whaddya have and how do ya like it?

    I went with an inflatable Advanced Elements kayak last month. I set it up for solo use and I'm loving it; it tracks straight and glides really nicely. I have the backbone / spine bar for it... I see that as a necessity. I like not having to worry about fastening it to a roof rack...

    To the artic circle and beyond

    I'm picking up a Skycamp later this month. How do you like it? Do all 4 of you sleep in it comfortably? How did it go traveling with your dog on a long distance trip?

    Anyone around the St. Louis area got suggestions?

    I'm in O'Fallon MO. I have an Outback as well, and a Wrangler on order that should be arriving within the next 2 weeks. My favorite places nearby are Lost Creek Road (as mentioned) and Massas Creek Roads. Farther out, I love the Glade Top Trail south of Ava, MO. The sights & scenery along...
