Samsung Galaxy Tab Active2 vs. Galaxy Tab Active5 for motorbike use

Two years have passed since the first consideration of Android-based rallying devices.

While the minimum solution may be an old smartphone and any bluetooth button pad, the maximum in our opinion is a Samsung Galaxy Tab Active tablet mounted on a RAM cradle, with a Joymap bluetooth button pad from 7SOLID and Navirally, the app we officially use at our events.

Mounting on the bike obviously depends on the bike to bike, but we believe that the RAM cradle (RAM-HOL-SAM60PU) is the truly optimal solution in terms of robustness and taking advantage of the power supply via the Pogo connector.
