Our Troopy Set-Up

Hi John

You mean the picture in the body of your description?
Not sure if you are aware that there are tablets better suited than others for the visibility issue in sunlight. If you have any interest I can send details. I am a geologist and we map in the desert, directly onto tablets - the Geological Survey of WA mapping geologists have investigated this in detail.

Regards

Martin

Hi Martin,

I was referring to the picture in the description. Doesn’t illustrate the mounting too well and I was hoping to add a few better pictures yesterday, but the camera’s playing up!

Time passes. We adopted OziExplorer early on and when I set our gps up there weren’t many options for an afforable 10” Windows capable tablet with a non-reflective screen. Since then lots of Windows tablets have appeared and OziExplorer has been released for Android which also broadens the choice. Unfortunately I’m not aware of any with a non-reflective screen, which is highly desirable if you want to see more than a reflection of your companion’s shirt!

I’d be very interested in anything you can offer regarding more suitable tablets. Please email me at johnandval@exemail.com.au and I’ll try to get some more useful pictures of our mounting system for you. It's not complicated to make, and is much less intrusive in the cab than any laptop stand.

Cheers

John
