Reminder that our meetup is tonight 7/21 at 6PM at the Clearman’s Galley in Rosemead!

I think it works because in the absence of a GPS chip the wi-fi iPad will use the location information from the wi-fi spot it connects with. In this case the iPhone which has updated GPS info.

I just use my iPhone as a hotspot and select that as the wi-fi source for my iPad. GPS then woks fine on the iPad. I can switch to Gaia or Apple Maps on my iPad and see my current location reflected on the map.

Option #3. If you have an iPhone you can pair that to your wi-fi iPad and then have GPS for the tablet.

I also have a Rubicon and really don’t use my tablet for navigation. I have the stereo with the 7” screen and I just run Gaia on my iPhone and use Car Play to display it on the Jeep’s dash screen. If you have the same unit in your Rubicon and have an Apple or Android phone you can try that too.

I love my iPad Pro but I have the wi-fi only version which has no built-in GPS. When it connects to my iPhone it will be able to relay GPS coordinates to Gaia and that’s great but for what you pay for the Apple tablets all models really should have built-in GPS. The recommendation I always...

I just finished up a two week trip where I was having issues with my solar setup and the standard MC-4 connectors in particular. I have two panels mounted on top of separate aluminum boxes which in turn are secured to my rooftop rack. After each trip or if I happen to stay in a hotel in an...

Perhaps another feature could be an Alert Check where you can select one or multiple routes and OB1 will flag any alerts on those routes such as road closures, bad weather, permit required, private property, tribal land, etc. A layer of areas where there are permit requirements would be useful...

Thanks for the info this made my day better!

Right now our SGV OB group is communicating the various bits of info on a trip we will be all going on through Utah, Moab, and Colorado, etc for the next two weeks in a discussion thread between group members which also includes some file attachments or external links to videos/info, etc. I...

I liked the Gaia feature where you could select multiple map layers and specify a stack order and visual transparency level for each. I could then do things like view current satellite over the topo map add cell coverage for a quick check, etc. For some reason they removed this functionality...

Perhaps just airing down your tires prior to boarding would get you well within the limits.

I’ve been to all 10. My guesses for their top dangers: 1. Grand Canyon National Park = Tourists especially in the summer months that easily hike down to the river or it’s overlook on Bright Angel Trail and don’t bring enough water and/or underestimate the effort required to hike back up. 2...

I have the non-heated version. A quick JetBoil of water plus non-heated water to the fill line gives a good temperature. The concept of washing with the scrub pads and low volume water did work initially however the control valve is flimsy and after a few uses it leaks and shoots water...

I have the new 12.9 Pro with 256GB of storage. The 256GB option was only $100 more and seemed like a good upgrade given the small incremental cost. After loading my most used apps including Gaia and all of my maps/routes/etc. there is more than enough storage left over. The new model is...

It all depends on what you want/need. Will you be running larger tires that won’t fit on the standard carrier and perhaps require reinforcement for your tailgate door? I had purchased the tire carrier from Rusty’s Off Road. It may seem expensive at $780 but if you are running larger tires you...

I had recalled that the notarubicon guy did a video about an area close by that was good for just practicing 4x4 skills, etc. I located it here:

I think that would be a great idea. I have (most of) the recovery gear needed but have not used any of it in an actual recovery scenario yet. This could also serve as a readiness check for everyone aside from the knowledge to know what is needed or not as far as gear is concerned.

You can just stay in your vehicle with the windows shut and GRMS 18 us. It worked for the boy in the bubble.
