For a really long time I was looking for a way to combine proper offline navigation and iOverlander data in one way or another.
iOverlander2 at least gets to the point of offline data and maps, but there is no navigation, the app is phone only (I use an iPad). Maps.me doesn't properly import...
So, navigation is also sorted. Offline maps for Maps.me downloaded for the upcoming trip, OsmAnd offline maps downloaded and iOverlander data in the categories that interest us converted and imported.
This is a zoomed out view of a part of our travel area.
And when zooming in, it shows more...
I think that chatgpt might not have up-to-date information. At least in the free version, it seems the last update was in 2022 or 2021. This means it might send you to a place that is currently unavailable. So, I prefer to double-check on the same forums...
I'm selling my DJI Mini 4 Pro Drone Fly More Combo Plus & RC 2 Remote (Excellent Condition).
• INCLUDES TRANSFERABLE 2 YEAR DJI CARE REFRESH!
I already used one of the 4 replacements, rookie move!! Something I'd rather not talk about, hehehe!! ;)
• Immaculate condition, gently used with...
My inReach is connected to my Android tablet which I also use for navigation. It comes in more handy to type messages on the tablet and sent it via the inReach instead of typing them on the supertiny device.
Hi. I have the Garmin inReach Explorer®+
Satellite Communicator with Maps and Sensors. It connects to the iPhone but works also very well standalone. My experience is that the signal is better when closer to the windscreen instead of when mounted on the car dashboard. The only downside is that...
Chat GPT is not so great for trip planning. The training data is very diverse and as a result, does not get updated frequently. So that campsite that may have been there in 2021, might not be now.
It's all good, enjoy the outdoors the way you like. Different tools for different folks are a good thing. I like to explore without maps and navigation and get lost. Others find that crazy and can't get out of the driveway without a map. As long as we get out, enjoy ourselves, stay safe...
Just to thought some more oil on the fire, below are the top 10 ways that ChatGPT-4 may enhance overlanding, according to ChatGPT:
ChatGPT can be a valuable tool for overlanding enthusiasts, offering a range of services and information that can enhance the experience. Here are the top 10 ways...
this is great advice.
The biggest issues i have seen with others is being unprepared for the basics.
Not all areas have Phone reception
Having basic tools and the knowledge in how to use them (Change a tire?)
Having basic Firstaid and the kit to support
The first few times anyone goes I...
That's a fair point.
the problem is, there's not a great place to send folks where they'll get good info without all the "you must have xyz" to really have fun. Hell I even find myself influencing that unintentionally... I like gadgets, and I like to make my wife comfortable (so she comes out...
Simple (updated lol)
how about, Invest in good gear (expensive doesn't always mean good), invest in knowledge (tread lightly, mapping/navigation, first aid\safety, recovery) and find a group of like minded folks (or go solo if that's your speed) and then GO! lol.
you'll learn what you need vs...
...storage, but will accept SD cards. My only complaint about the tablet is it's startup speed, but once it has booted up I can run 2-3 navigationapps concurrently. I only use the tablet for mapping apps and Earthmate for my old InReach. It flawlessly recorded 6,000 miles of GPX tracks on my...
Some updates.
I adjusted the front coils to around 3ish inches. Snagged a body armor 270 awning when they were on sale. Replaced a third row seat with a harbor freight pelican case to use as a tool box. Finished my hatch table and installed lights on the hatch door.
I also did some creature...
