Anybody test this yet? Is it organically in Uconnect or only through Android Auto?

It works through android auto, I used it a bit the last couple weeks driving some trails. It's not nearly as useful as the actually android app, but it's kind of nice having a slightly larger screen without breaking out the tablet.

I'm not a beta tester nor do I have an account and it was on my Android auto screen this weekend. I opened it and looked around but didn't try any routing

There is another new app made by BFG called OnTrail.

Works similar to Gaia but is more 4x4 oriented. Same pricing model as well. I don't think it works in Android auto though.

Now OnX needs to get their rear in gear and do the same.....

This is what I ended up doing. iPad Mini, 256 gig, cell (GPS), with Gaia GPS Premium and mounted. I read somewhere that the Gaia will only display on your screen and all operations would be done on the phone, so I just went ahead and got the iPad Mini. Some people claimed Gaia worked better on Apple then on Android which swayed me to Apple. If I was to do it over I would try a cheaper Android tablet without GPS and less storage, then get something like a Garmin Inreach to Bluetooth location to the tablet. That would be more versatile and saved me a little cash. All in all I'm very happy with the setup.

Id go with that Garmin Overloand Hand-held if it wasn't, well, just a Hand-held. Hard to justify the price tag on that thing. I think you did it right. Still have some versatility

Finally got the chance to at least look at it. Although this obviously isn't in my Gladiator
