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

ya but.... what if there is no cell phone signal? Some say you can down load maps. If that is the case, just d/l maps to start and never use your phone. Please explain. I like the idea of the DMD2 device, but it seems to have that serious short coming.

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.

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

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

If you have still no idea how to fit it onto your tiger have a look at „holder for bikers“, I also use it with the tab 3 on my 701, there are also heavy duty adapters specific for your bike if you need one.

Nice comparison, thanks. I just watched to learn about the DMD. Personally I can't imagine this day and age spending my money on the old school Garmin which can only do one thing, when the android phone or tablet can do the same thing and SO much more. I've been using an old android phone for years as navigation. But I can't see a dam thing on the screen if it's sunny so I just follow the voice guidance. Plus among other problems in the rain, I've melted a couple charging cables which left me with no navigation till I could go get another one. My old mount requires me to turn a thumbscrew to tighten it or loosen it every time I want to take the phone off to use it lol. Anyway I'm looking to upgrade after a season of fighting with this stupid old system.

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.

I would like to correct 2 things here from your video. 1) Garmin Zumo XT and XT2 can be used in portrait mode. 2) Garmin Zumo can be used with USB power, you don't need a cradle. You will loose some functionality like fuel tracking and such other than other it works well. Also, if Garmin Zumo units pair with Garmin Inreach devices, so you will have some functionality through Zumo. Most Important thing which not many people mention is Garmin devices doesn't need a cellular network for navigation.

You download offline maps onto the phone- done that on a cheap rugged Android phone. You don’t need cellular.

@@martyn_gThe video says adventure navigation, using a phone doesn’t come under adventure navigation. A dedicated GPS like Zumo or TomTom are built to work with satellite, whereas an app on the phone doesn’t do that.

@@PSANDEE Smartphones and Tablets without a built-in GPS interface are the exception nowadays, "an app on a phone" (that isn't ancient, or garbage-tier) absolutely can download maps beforehand and operate just fine without a data connection, just like a dedicated GPS device and actually do it with more up-to-date map/route datum and faster hardware.

@@erichlippert3433 Maybe it works for road users but not for adventure seekers. a dedicated GPS is something specifically designed to use in rough conditions and the level of GPS accuracy you get is next to none. Probably if you use it once, you wont go back to a smartphone.

@ It works fine and I can tell that you haven’t done this, so you haven’t the vaguest clue that it actually works. I only ride on the road to get to the dirt and I don’t even use my primary smartphone for nav, I use an old one that doesn’t even have a SIM card in it; still pans and routes faster than my Garmin handheld and the Raymarine chart plotter in my boat, since these are all just computers running software, but the 1-generation old smartphone hardware is still faster than the aforementioned devices and doesn’t have stale map datum from several years ago that I have to pay each time I want to update it.
