Garmin vrs Tablet?
Help!!
I need to purchase a new Garmin, to be located on my Wr250, so before purchased had a few questions.. I had a hand held Garmin 60c that I would transfer files from my PC that I had build using Mapsource, that was a few years ago. I would also download from the Garmin to the PC. Have things changed with all the Tablets? Can a tablet run Mapsource so I can get rid of my PC? Can a tablet take the place of a Garmin? Don't need color on my next unit but would like a little larger screen if possible.. thoughts? appreciate it |

I don't think you can hook a Garmin to a tablet, but I may be wrong.
Tablets and phones as GPS's are generally limited by the screen. Most wash-out in direct sunlight.

You could probably buy 3 Garmin Montanas for the cost of one of those.

thanks[/QUOTE If you buy a new Map62 it wont run mapsoure. It uses basecamp. The new GPS and software is not as user friendly. I would have bought a new map60c and stuck with the old software if they still sold it. Cheers
