Yep, been using DMD and DMD2 for almost five years now. Nothing better out there.

[@kee7678]

I bought the new Samsung Active5 tablet..loaded Gaia and other apps on it, but now trying to figure out how to mount the dang thing on my Tiger 900...without vibrating, without impeding the windscreen....and without it "falling/tilting" down off road. Spent 6 mths and still figuring it out....bought mounts, Evotech, Raid, Ram as well as the tablet holder also..... geeeshshs.

[@AdvTechMoto]

One big perk with the dmd is the mounts that come with the package. Be curious how the active 5 does.

[@stompingplatypus]

I have the lockable mount from Proclip for my active5 [non powered] with a 5 Inch Universal Pedestal Mount which is metal and can be cinched down tightly in any position... bulky but pretty solid

[@kee7678]

@@stompingplatypus That's exactly what I have too. But have not mounted it yet. How is it. I would LOVE to see any pics/videos you have or anything as I'm really needing to figure something out asap. I can send you my email !

[@RW4x4van]

Would really like to see a comparison with the Garmin XT/XT2 and DMD2 software [Basecamp is a nightmare]

[@AdvTechMoto]

I don't touch Basecamp. I've always used ridewithgps for cycling and kept using it for gpx creation. DMD has a basic gpx creator on their website, but has plans to make it better I believe.

@@AdvTechMoto I have a Garmin 276C that I've been using for 18 years on my motorcycles while creating routes in Mapsource, nothing could be simpler. Also have a Garmin XT and can't figure out what Garmin was thinking with Basecamp that I'm not happy with.....I tried DMD2 on a tablet, but the tablet is not bright enough. I like DMD2 and I'm looking into either the phone or tablet

[@robnye5927]

30 minutes on hardware and part two for the interface?

[@AdvTechMoto]

Yeah, may end up being 3 parts depending on how I break up the inferfaces
