In this video Mike walks through his tablet setup on his 2022 Ski-Doo Mach Z. Instead of using the Garmin Zumo 590 he had run in past seasons, he decided to make a mount on the glovebox extrension for his 8" Samsung Galaxy Tab.

I ran my tablet in a modified, by me, neoprene case on the handlebars this past season. You will have to 100% have a heat source. I also used a rubber band around the usb c cord to keep tension on the cord. Unfortunately the usb is a somewhat fragile charging system for offroad use. Being able to run different apps to access different maps and data were invaluable in navigating. Especially since we focus on getting off trail. The biggest downside is viewing the screen in sunlight. I ended up creating a visit of sorts out of duct tape. As a proof of concept a huge success. I will refine the system for this coming season.

@sledaddicz 2 года назад

Wow! Thanks for letting us know Chris! That's really useful info. Keep us updated as you continue to refine it. Cheers, Jesse

I'm looking at doing the same thing with a 10 inch , I never saw a follow up . How did you like it I see you have gone back to a GPS now is there any reason you ditched the tablet

@mattie3595 2 года назад

Great Sled videos - watch them all. This one struck me funny tho.....I'm doing my best to be less 'connected' while away & sledding. The last thing I want to see is more apps, contacts, playlists, etc. We all have GPS on our phones & carry paper maps anyway. (when available) All I need from the sled is fuel guage, temp guage & odometer. Keep it up fellas.

@sledaddicz 2 года назад

Thanks Mattie! We appreciate the support and complete understand your perspective. For us, we love the tech. We enjoy listening to tunes, love having mapping so we always know where we are, how far to get somewhere, gas etc. and even can chat with the wife for anything while moving. Some like it and some prefer to be disconnected. We get it and its not for everyone! Cheers, Mike

@1Kurgan1 11 месяцев назад

I see this opinion around a lot, and I get it to an extent. But as the person who almost always is elected to lead my group... I just want to ride. I don't want to stop at every intersection to look at a trail map, or pull my phone out. I just glance down at my mounted GPS as I'm riding, pick my next turn, and keep riding. People think that technology takes away from the ride. But realistically, it just allows me to put on more miles in a day with less down time. It's not like we are just staring at the GPS, it is a glance to know where the next intersection could take you, and then that is it.

@northwash 2 года назад

Interested to see how it does in the cold. May need to add a heating element behind it. Tuned YamaCat guys have used iPad minis. Some needed heat, so not. Also might want to source an anti-glare screen cover for those bright days. Nice job.

@sledaddicz 2 года назад

Hey buddy! You are right. Below -20 it doesn't really work. We are looking at adding some sort of heating element so that it can withstand the -25 or below days. Cheers, Jesse

@sledaddicz 2 года назад

Hey Rob! It works great.. but below -20 it freezes. Trying to wire some form of heat up to the tablet and we will test it out soon. Cheers, Jesse

@EhFokes 10 месяцев назад

Amazon seat heater for cars. Pads will likely be similar size to the table and maybe find a way to incase in from water damage. Easy 12v source to heat the tablet.

@EhFokes 10 месяцев назад

I'm going to add a separate comment to a reply I left as well for anyone curious about heating options for a tablet. Simple solution would be to buy a seat heater pad pack off amazing (the pads themselves not seat heated "covers") With the pads you'll need to incase them to protect from water damage but the benefit to seat heating pads is the option to control exactly how much heat is going to the pad, therefore not heating the tablet too much in some cases, Most will come with a switch and easy 12v hookup. I think it may be a game changer having a tablet for a dash if we can keep them on in -30° weather !

@sledaddicz 10 месяцев назад

Hey dude! Thanks for your comment. Sorry I didn't notice your reply. We tried with heating elements in the tablet case and the tablet would still freeze and turn off below -20. After a season of trying different things it just didn't work and wasn't reliable for us so we reverted back to our garmin gps's. Cheers, Jesse

@sledaddicz Год назад

WTF? I'm sorry but if you look at the comments you will see that we responded to others. The short story is when it gets below -20C the tablet freezes. We tried everything and it just doesn't work well. We are back to using garmin gps's which we absolutely love. Mine has 50,000 kms on it from sledding over the years and has never let me down, whether it was -40C or +10C. Cheers, Jesse

@sledaddicz Год назад

Hey Tom! Sorry for the delayed response. Yup boom mic is still the recommendation with the mask. I have been using the mask the past few of our big trips with the boom mic and it has been flawless. In terms of the mounting base I don't remember to be honest, if that looks like it would work you could do that. Cheers, Mike

@barbier.family Год назад

wonder if you could repurpose some handlebar warmers or similar, with the warming element flat on the back of the mount. Just thinking something to help keep it a bit warmer. Cool idea, will definietly keep watching for an update on how it worked.

@sledaddicz Год назад

That's what I ended up doing but it wasn't enough heat and it died pretty quickly. Unfortunately, just doesn't seem like a viable solution right now until they make these things good for the cold. Cheers, Mike

If you want it to work in the cold get a Samsung tab active, they have extended temp capabilities.

That could be. We love our garmins and they are definitely more practical and reliable then tablets so I think we are gonna stick with that. This was just an experiment more then anything. Cheers, Jesse

What RAM Holder is that? Part number? Also, how is the tablet locked in? Seems like a bumpy trail would rattle the tablet loose.

@spaceiabox4685 Год назад

Hi, interesting idea. Now that you have run it for a year or so - any update video with thoughts and conclusions? Thanx in advance!

@sledaddicz Год назад

Yup. Unfortunately it is not a practical solution. Below -15C the tablet would freeze. We even tried adding a heated element to keep the tablet warm but it still didnt work. We ended up going back to our Garmin Zumo XT setup (we have a full video on it) and haven't had any issues. The garmins are meant for all temperatures and have never failed us. Cheers, Jesse

Compare Polaris Ride Command to BRP Go App????

@sledaddicz 2 года назад

I plan on doing that soon! Some insight I can give at this point is that BRP GO is miles ahead. It shows accurate trail data, while ride command uses crowd sourced data and has trails that don't exist and is missing trails that do exist. My pick is BRP GO. Cheers, Jesse

Hey Linda! Unfortunately not. Below around -20 it would freeze. I even added a heater and it still froze. Gps is still the better option. Cheers, Mike

@scottf9044 Год назад

Does a tablet require some sort of plan to just use the GPS and apps? My hope is that I an use my wifi to download apps (Polaris Ride Command) and then use satellite (no cell service) for GPS...so no data plan at all. Thoughts? Also, I see below that it didn't work well in the cold. So, the it still died while being plugged in? I would think the battery would be bypassed altogther (or maybe just charging) while receiving power.

@sledaddicz Год назад

Unfortunately it simply won't work. The cold keeps it from running so I had to go back to a regular GARMIN GPS. Cheers, Mike

I've been loving my extended glove box with the phone holder so far but I really hope OFSC makes it so my position stays in the center of the screen like every other gps. That's the only annoying part is either having to be zoomed out very far to see everything or constantly moving it myself.

@sledaddicz 2 года назад

Hey Smalltown. That is because the OFSC GSO app is not a navigation app. I would suggest using BRP GO! for that purpose - it works great and will follow you like you are describing. Cheers, Jesse

@121xc 2 года назад

Hey guys. Any updates in the last few weeks? We tried running an iPhone Plus the same way this week as an easy test and it worked okay. We had it in a case to keep it isolated. It seemed that with the case and running on power it kept it warm enough. But going to a tablet would be a much nicer experience. Also curious on whether you have tried any other apps for tracking the route while riding. Tried the OFSC mobile app, but that is obviously not designed as a true GPS in the same way. Too many limits with the ability to zoom out but keep you centered in the screen so you can retain situational awareness at a larger scale. Anyways, interested to hear your experiences.

@sledaddicz 2 года назад

Yes. No luck with the tablet in super cold temperatures. We even rigged up a few heated grip elements to put behind the tablet and it wasn't enough to keep the battery from dying. We are back to square 1 and using Garmins or the new phone holder. It's too bad because I love the tablet idea. Cheers, Mike
