As part of my Extreme Northern Loop tour, I have upgraded my GPS Tracking system which will aid me on this journey.
from a small 3.2″ Alcatel to a 7″ Bad Ass!
Before:
After:
My new GPS is a 7″ ZTE Android Gingerbread tablet 3G phone with a 3700 mah battery capacity.
It currently carries Navitel (OSM), Navdroyd (online/offline) and Google Maps (online).
Gettin’ ready… and excited 😉

Hi what do you mean OSM on Navitel?
btw sir, how does your mounted 7incher do on high speeds? or slow speeds? makatal ba or may vibrations?
No issues at all. The bracket is secured by cable ties so it’s mounted very very tight.
The app is called Navitel, while the loaded maps are from OSM or Open Street Maps. 🙂
Sir, power source ba yang usb data cable na nakakabit?
It’ll be nice kung gawa ka ng article pa tungkol dyan sir.
I’m planning to have one too sa mc ko. Problema ko kasi battery drain ng phone ko pag nasa byahe at nka gps tracking. Pero di ko alam kung panu mag sisimula. 😀
Try mo yung OsmAnd (http://osmand.net/) sir.
hey bro! nice meeting you in Cebu. yes power source siya naka rekta sa battery. I mainly use it for my GPS so sakto yung charger para kahit walang patayan ok lang… only drawback is pag umulan. 🙂 I just bought a mobile charge power bank for emergency situations
Nice GPS setup, where did you get the cellphone mount? Planning to do a north loop myself but i’m having a hard time looking for a proper GPS/Cellphone mount for my R220
It’s just a generic cellphone holder with a little bit of DIY to mount it in such a way that you’d have lesser vibration.
