I've been envisioning using it on a phone or tablet. Because I'm a cheapskate that doesn't pay much for data, it would need to be able to work offline. But the entire idea is that I'd put a GPX on there and it would only navigate me through that without changing the route (other than getting me back to the route if I stray from it), so that's not a big problem. Still, I've got some use cases that would involve data or wifi. For instance, creating my route at a hotel room (either on the phone or on a real comptuer and sending it to the phone), then navigating offline. That could work well with a tablet, which tend to have wifi but not mobile data in the lower end, anyway. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
