Moab

My friends and I are going to Moab in September for a week. Can anyone tell me which is the best RV park to stay at, that we can hit some really good trails from that RV park? We all have large size toyhaulers and all have RZR’s. Thanks

GPS with bluetooth

Hello all! Getting ready for this coming riding season in MI and am looking into a GPS unit that can connect to a sound bar via blue tooth. Any recommendations? We do not currently have a sound bar and will probably buy both together, so any help in that are would be awesome too.

We’d like a GPS with pre loaded maps or at least the ability to map and save our own trails. Thanks for the help!

Montana 680t ???

Hey, I had a Garmin etrex 30. I didn’t like it simply because I couldn’t read it. The camera we used got dust in it, kaput.
I’m looking at the Garmin Montana 680t. Will this satisfy my needs as far as far as screen size & a decent camera?
Thanks so much.

Lowrance early warning device?

The problem with working nights is that I occasionally have time to contemplate things that I would normally dismiss as superfluous. :rolleyes:

I received/bought a lowrance Elite 5 GPS with fish finder(?) for Christmas. My plan is to use this for my GPS unit on my 900 Trail. The discussion at work turned to the sonar device that will go unused. What would happen if I mounted it facing forward on my front grill? Would it act as an early warning device during night rides? Maybe it would work as a bat attraction device?:)
(maybe I should quit listening to my coworkers?)

Any thoughts from the brain trust of the forum members?

Download Speed

Does anyone have any tips or tricks. Both Backcountry Navigator and Oruxmaps take forever to download maps for offline use. I have gone to different locations that have good wifi with no difference in results. I have also tried reducing the size of the downloads and breaking them up into 2 – 4 groups without any difference.

Lowrance Elite 7 GPS dash mount

Guy’s, I own the Lowrance elite 7M GPS and would like to mount it above the grab bar on my 2015 RZR 1000. Anybody know of a vendor that makes them ,I’ve found the mount for the 5M, but not the 7M ?

Thanks
