I looked at the Yamaha Adventure Pro. Too much money for what it does. What’s everybody using? How is the gps signal? Mounts etc?

I took JIMBO's idea and ordered a Getac, 1 1/2" RAM mount, and roll bar mounts from eBay. Took it out today and was really impressed with how well the GPS tracked us. I downloaded the Polaris app and it seems to work great. I originally wanted the Owlshead app but something wasn't compatible with this device and the app. It wouldn't load all the way and made the tablet super slow. I almost sent the tablet back, buck decided to try a different app and I am happy with the Polaris app. First pic is taken from the driver side rear seat. Second is taken from my eye level looking up at tablet. Really glad I found this forum for ideas. I really like the tablet mounted up above also. I've been looking on here for a couple months now. I bought the X4 a couple months ago.

It has Android 4.1.1 is the latest and last update from Getac according to a guy there. When I was having issues I called their customer service and the guy basically said there will be no more updates for the Z710 and there is a slot for a memory card but you can't increase internal memory according to him. But I only want it for a GPS and it works fine for that. It still looks good in sunlight. I just upgraded to the better version of the Polaris waypoint app and should be going riding again Wed or Thurs so I'll keep you posted on it.

Thanks. We're having fun with it. Have had dirt bikes and quads most of my life. This is our first side by side so it's taken some getting used to.

I used these roll bar mounts. I'm pretty sure these were the ones you postedhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-1-5-Inch-Bull-Bar-Roll-Cage-Tube-Mount-Brackets-Clamp-LED-Light-Offroad-US/332841602598?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
Then I went with 1.5" ball mount because they said the 1" is good for up to 2 lbs. in heavy vibration applications and this tablet weighs 1.75 lbs. So I thought I'd go to the next size up just to be sure it wouldn't drop down when riding on rougher terrain.

This mount I had to drill 2 holes to match all four mounting holes on the back of the tablet.

Then this one I bolted to the 2 1.5" roll bar mounts
