Snobeeler Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Cant say I have ever seen so much Green and Yellow grooming on the map in 1 day. Enjoy everyone. We start our trip T minus 7 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLAYHARD Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 If you're cutting routes close for mileage planning, you might wanna add a few extra miles to the app or gps for getting in & out of town(s) for gas & stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a 6S so screen is big enough. I secured the grip warmer to back side of the aluminum flashing using 2 sided rug tape. That's a great idea, who cares about turn by turn directions anyways... you can't even hear them when you're moving at speed anyways. Not to mention the phone screen is almost twice the size of my 3.5" Garmin Nuvi 550 And you'll notice your notifications faster when you go through areas that actually have reception. Thanks again 👍 Snobeeler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shore1066 Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 We put together a couple GPS systems this year and it is great to know when a trail is coming up. Made a few decisions much easier. Ours are old garmin's with the trak map program. First day mine kept stopping and restarting. Next day on a full charge It lasted a couple hours. Anyway I bought some toe warmers for my feet in case they got cold. Well 1 toe warmer on the back of the unit seem to solve the problem. At the end of the day the battery still had over a half a charge in it and the toe warmer was still warm. Snobeeler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again 👍 I use it for turn by turn when desired. When you select start and end points on map it colors the path so when you come to a intersection its easy to see correct turn, especially when zoomed in.

viper2 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 The app is fairly close and like said above way better than signs but it almost always under estimates the mileage some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephane vallee Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I see some guys using tablet . How does this set up work ? Any tip on set up , do they use the imotoneige app ? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 My gf has imotoneige on her tablet that I have mounted above her gauges on a procross articcat 7000. It has worked in the coldest temps. Heat from the engine is vented out right there so the battery doesn't have any problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
