Anyone use a mounted GPS in your UTV? Doing the research has led me to the Garmin Tread and VV Mapping. I want something that will show all the legal roads in Wis since I need them to connect to different trail systems and basically get anywhere far away from the cabin.
Why not just use the GPS from your boat? Shouldnt that suffice?

I have no boat with GPS or any GPS devices that apply.
Ah, that makes sense then. Well I dont have any real ideas for you other than maybe use your smartphone and get the onx tread app or whatever its called.
Polaris makes a pretty cool phone app for off road and snow users with trail maps as well . Free if I remember right .
Polaris Ride Command and OnX Offroad are the best I’ve found in the MN/WI area for roads and trails. And being on your phone is a plus as well. I ride with mine on my ATV handlebars. Works great.
VVmapping very good for the midwest orv and snowmobile owner has great customer service. I prefer garmin for snowmobile and orv.
I use the same setup on my snowmobiles as I do the SXS.

If it’s mostly summer riding and you have a full windshield unit, I’d just get a real sturdy phone mount and not reinvent the wheel or waste more money.
I have one phone and it supports two jobs. No way I use that. A dedicated device, built for outdoors, that doesn’t rely on cellular is what I am interested in.
I searched the internet to see what others were using/recommended. I went with a dedicated tablet for my SXS. There are several options on Amazon for non-brand tablets that are cheap. I went with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 from Best Buy for around $100 and it has GPS. You need to make sure the tablet you are buying is GPS enabled. I have loaded Polaris Ride Command app and also Avenza app and loaded maps from several counties in WI that I ride. Like I said haven’t used it a lot but I liked the Avenza app with the maps better so far than the Polaris Ride Command app. I purchased it only a couple months ago and changed SXS since then, and working on getting all the accessories on my new SXS. I hate trying to look at the phone when driving and this works great on a cheap RAM mount off Amazon.
