Snow on the Roof
I'm planning a 6-8 day ROF trip through northwest Montana. Most days I am trying to keep the mileage low, 40-60 miles/day. A few will be close to 80 miles, some of which is asphalt. The area covered will be going north from St Regis to the Canadian border, then east to Eureka, finally ending up on the west side of Glacier NP. That is a big chunk of country.
I want to use Gaia on my new 6th gen Apple iPad with 128 gigs of memory, cellular, and wifi. I know I'll need to download a lot of maps. Anyone with experience out there to let me know if the tablet will handle this, and if Gaia is good for long distance, multiday trips like this? My expected maps source for the iPad will be the USFS 2016 topos.
My standby is a Garmin Zumo 665 linked to a 13" Apple notebook with Basecamp and Garmin's northcentral topos. That setup up works O.K., but my eyes are going and would like a bigger screen that the new iPad will provide over the Zumo. I will be using Basecamp to create the routes we'll be following on either GPS system.
Thanks in advance.
