Good evening everyone,
So after doing some reading, I've decided I want to install a dedicated navigation system into my Tacoma. I'm not the most tech savvy person, but can figure most things out through research, just don't ask me to some coding. I really like the idea of the tablet/GPS antenna idea.
Here is were I'm sure I'm missing something. In my head, this seams like a good idea, but I don't understand a lot of the technical aspects to GPS and Wifi. The more I read the less I know.
As you can see from my attached diagram I have found all the cables and adapters to connect everything together. Will all this work, probably. Will it work well, that I don't know.
Let me start with the antenna. I'd like to spend a little more here to get something that will function properly and receive the best signal for my devices. This is the Antenna Plus MIMO/LTE. I like the style of this antenna and am not scared to put a hole in my roof if it truly is the best option. It will provide signal to my Nighthawk M1 and to this USB GPS Module Antenna.
What I have right now on hand are the M1 and a Samsung tablet. I'm currently deployed and am waiting on the tablet model to ensure it is what I need and is compatible with Navigation apps. I have seen some pretty mediocre reviews on this device, so I'm not completely committed to it. I have access to Netgear M2s as well, Just haven't seen how well they do in the states.
I want these items to allow for seamless navigation while in the back country, and the best wifi signal I can get when out traveling as well. I don't need the wifi to stream video games, but it need to do basic internet functions for work related tasks. Navigation will be through one or two apps (Turn by turn and Overlanding) to get me to where I want to go.
Thank you in advance. Hope this spawns some good conversation.
