2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid

I just ordered a RAM mount and an iPad for navigation. I know of Hema maps, which is really popular in Australia, does anyone know if they are any good in North America? Any other recommendations for off road maps?

Gaia is probably the most widely used. I use that for navigation and ScenicMap when I'm exploring.

Thanks for the tip about Gaia @Wawa Skittletits . Do you recommend paying for a subscription or just stay as a free member?

I got my Ram Mount installed today. It looks nice and I can't wait to get my iPad to go with it. Little by little my overland rig will come together. It was a little tricky to get the mount installed on my passenger side site as the mounting point for the seat is setup differently then how the mount is designed for, but I made it work.

Can't wait to see this build. I love the way these look with a lift and some A/T's. Definitely a unique trail rig.

Thank you herooftheday. I am excited about this build too. It is just going to take awhile to get it finished. I don't make that much money. Next step is to install two small flood spot lights. I just need to figure out the best way/place to mount them.

Thats ok if it takes a while. Than means you have plenty of time to make this a very thoughtful build. Projects like this always turn out better for me when I have more time to think about it, rather than just throw money at it and end up just re-doing it later on.

@herooftheday good point. I do like having to time to design the build. I am able to get look at my rig and really find the best place for all the upgrades.

I've been going through this thread on one tab with amazon open in another tab just adding gear to the wish list. Can't wait to see your rig done

 

[Tyler Higgins]

Thank you @THEpoorguy. I know how you feel, when I first found this group I was going the same thing. I just ordered a hotspot for my rig and will be installing a USB charging port in the back soon, I will add pictures. I am also a computer tech and want to add some IT gear to my rig as well.

Newest addition to my rig, a mobile HotSpot so everyone in my rig will have good internet. There is an antenna on my roof that I hope will give me a good signal in most places.
