Some corrections: -When you press the exit button it does STOP the app completely, only when it is the default launcher it will keep running. Android does keep it in memory (recents) but it is stopped. -The temperature next to the battery is the BATTERY temperature. It is important to know because batteries do not charge above 45'C. Also noticed some UI elements (backgrounds) are missing in the app, either the screen recording software was messing up or you have your tablet setup for high contrast. Also in the map view you probably would enjoy the TOPO map style which you can change in the Map view left menu > Map Type. Another thing you should make sure you have is the screen rotation locked to prevent the screen from rotating while riding. Whats missing in the app development: Route Calculation, GPX Recorder, POI search, File Sync and Manager (for GPX files and Saved Locations/POI/Waypoints) to sync among various devices and to manage them in the website, Friends Riding List where you can see everyone on the map while riding, the OBD view is like at 10% only, and many other things.... Thank you for your video!

G'day Mark, that is a bloody awesome set-up you have going on right there, great information & detail & fantastic screen size for us rider with fading eye sight

Glad to see this review. I run this on my 690 Enduro, Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 in a RAM mount that is powered to charge the tablet. I put a couple mapping programs on it (GAIA, Earthmate, of course Google Maps and a few others). You can use the tablet to move files off of SD cards and onto a back-up drive, if you are taking multi-day trips. ALSO... DeWalt and others make safety glasses that have readers built into them (tinted and clear). So I can ride, day or night, visor up, visor down with or without goggles still have eye protection and still be able to read the map! WIN!

Hey. What holder did you use? I'm having a terrible time looking for a good solution for the 701. I'm not keen to spend 700 on the carpe

Thank you Mark, you have has cleared up a lot of points I was thinking about. Can't wait for the 25 Jan to come around. Cheers.

I use this on a Samsung Tab Active 3. Yes, it's a bit more expensive than your tablet, but it's *-proof. Water,- dust, heat, cold-proof. It's built to militairy spec, so it should be able to function even in desert temps without a glitch. Also, the touchscreen works with gloves (not big fat wintergloves), and also has a pen, if you want to draw or use with your big fat wintergloves. On the bike it will get a lot of what's bad for a tablet: vibrations, heat, cold, wet, so I thought a rugged tablet would be a better choice. And since Samsung markets this tablet as an enterprise device, you get 4 years of upgrades guaranteed. I'm very happy with it.

Love your enthusiasm. I've just now learned about this. Will be shopping for a tough tablet (if that exists). Great presentation.

Thanks for this video. March 2023 and just started to use Dmd2 with OIKITEL RT3 tablet in winter below zero celsius and works fine.

Great video! Just what I was looking for. My 1st all motorcycle trip this July and Ive been trying to figure out a cheap GPS. I've got an older tablet and can't wait to try it out. Thanks for all your work.

Wow! What a great video. This has really got me thinking about using my Samsung Galaxy tablet in a similar way to yourself. I have been considering buying the Carpe Iter tablet from Thork Racing but was unsure about how it might work for me. This video shows that there are a lot of options open to me and I am now giving serious thought to buying the Caper tablet. Without this video I doubt I would have been brave enough (it's expensive). I would really love to see an update to this video when you have more information AND when you find a better waterproof case and a better mount for the tablet. Many thanks for this. Cheers, Phil.

Great info and lots of laughs to boot! Thank you!

Samsung Tab active3 is your best 8 inch tablet option. Gamechanger. Waterproof IP68. Military spec tough (MIL-STD-810H) designed for gloves. An accessible battery that can be swapped. Buttons on the bezel. 3.5mm jack. S-pen. Wifi and or 4g. Comes with its own toughcase. The 64gb wifi version can be had for less than 600. Team it up with the active3 Ram tab-tite holder and ram mount and you have the perfect adventure bike navigation/ communication setup. Especially when you install the drive mode dashboard. They have done a great job. The 4g version is designed to be used as a phone where necessary. Strange thing that Samsung have not done much to promote it. It was launched here early last year and I've never seen one in JB or HN. They are very popular in industry due to their toughness

I did a similar thing with a tablet to control my drone from my bike. I cot a proper case and put a universal quad mount on the back. Fantastic, works really good. The universal quad lock is the 3m stick on mount for phones etc that don't have a quad lock case. You can then use a quad lock handlebar or stem mount etc. Solid and stable.

Strongly recommend the Samsung Tab Active3 for this. Rugged, so you don't need a case, and it copes with heat, vibrations, dust and water. Better screen for gloves too. Plenty of rugged mounts for it, I use a lockable Brodit/WunderLINQ combo that allows me to lock it into the BMW GPS cradle, and control the tablet with the scroll wheel. (Think BMW Connected Cradle, but without the size and app limitations.) Som Aussie company makes a really nice (and expensive) one as well. Youcan also just make a flat mount and fix it with that heavy duty 3M velcro thingie, works well off road.

There is an adhesive protector. It is anti-glare but also serves to protect the device from scratches. Surely there is one in full size that you can cut to size, or even one specific to your device. I don't know if it will work perfectly, although I'm sure it will be able to greatly mitigate the discomfort caused by glare.

Why do I have to choose between, knowing where I am, or knowing how fast I´m going. Its passable to have this Split Screen with the Roadbook. But why not with the normal Map?
