Wow, that is nice, well done 👏, Hendrix
Checking it out now-- I've never seen it before and this thing looks amazing. Because it's Android does that mean you use 3rd party GPS apps, like Google Maps or Apple Maps or does it have its own mapping software? I seriously dig the Play Store option for apps I like instead of having to separately mount or use my phone.Thanks! The gps is the Carpe Iter, an specific tablet for adventure bikes. You got gps, roadbook, phone, and every android program you want install. You have a handlebar control as you can see closed to the left grip
The waterproof and impact proof charging connector is another major selling point for me. I think I might go this route instead of the Zumo-- I don't have time tonight but I need to look at how the thing mounts and connects to make sure it's something I can DIY. Thank you so much for posting this-- I'm not sure why this solution doesn't come up on adv GPS searches other than that Garmin probably pays for the high search results.Both, you can use google maps, wikiloc, all android apps and it has its own gps with world maps including offroad
What bags are those? Is the one under the seat the LoneRider Frame Bag for the BMW?Thanks!!!

The conection of the tablet is the same as the gps. Easy access just removing wind screen.The waterproof and impact proof charging connector is another major selling point for me.

Outstanding, many thanks. I was able to watch a bunch of youtube demos/reviews/installs. I'm really liking this idea.That one with the 11mm clamp for the ducati gps mount
It covers most of it. The pad + holder is 8.66 inches wide by 5.6" tall, and given where the DX dash is located and oriented, the corners of the Carpe Iter tab actually protrude past the edges of the upper portion of the windscreen. You can run the exact same software on a smaller android tablet. I'm in the research phase of how I want to do GPS on the DX myself and I don't really like the idea of the tablet taking direct wind-- the Carpe tab would handle it fine (based on their specs) but I'd be concerned about weird wind buffeting or sound at highway speeds since the windscreen can't block all of it. Then again, I like the idea of a 7" display since I wince looking at a phone regardless of where it's mounted, so, more research!It looks from the pic that the Carpe Iter covers a large portion of the Desert X screen. Is that just the angle of the pic or does it really do that?
Thanks.
