    Starting to add more stuff to the taco. I'm looking to add a tablet into my truck as navigation. What tablet do y'all recommend that wont break the bank? Also if i get a wifi only tablet and download the maps on google maps offline will it still give me voice turn by turn directions?

    I believe you need a cellular enabled tablet to get the GPS functionality, you do not need to have it on an active line though

    exactly, any tablet will do as long as it can connect to one of the wireless carriers. From what I remember a wifi only tablet does not have GPS antennas
