[QUOTE="AllOut, post: 2246983, member: 12099"] I've been looking at big GPS units for the last few months for our place in Mexico. Seeing how there are no "roads" on our place I needed to be able to track and save my own. What I found is that I needed a really expensive chart plotter, up to $2000!!!! BUT, I was very happy to hear that there is an app for IPhone/Ipad called "MotionX". It's a $5 app and will chart and save roads, waypoints etc and I can have it on a 10" touch screen Ipad for under $400!!! After a bit of research I've come to find out that a lot of desert racers have ditched their expensiive chart plotters and when this route. So I down loaded the app to my IPhone. It's great, speed is spot on, free unlimited down loads of any maps in the world, recorded and charted a few roads to test.... Plus the GPS function on it works great! If you don't want a 10" screen you can get the Ipad mini and have a 7" HD touch screen GPS. Get the 3G/4G and not the wifi ones though. The 3G/4G have a satilite reciever built in and will still work without cell/data service. Which we don't have in Mexico. [/QUOTE]
