    could you tell me what you disliked about it? I just bought a cf-28 off ebay with gps. I plan to use this for mapping in my Jeep for Off Roading.

    I plan to setup overhead mounted on the rollbar and just flip the screen down to view. I wont be able to use the keyboard much hence the touchscreen. I am curious what all you can really do with the tablet edition, and if you had it on long enough to notice driver issues etc.

    If you are only going to be using the screen and having the keyboard tuck away then tablet edition will be perfect for you,
    but as i use mine alot its a bit anoying having the on-screen keyboard poping up, and if i just disable that, then there isnt much point me having tablet edition,
    am currently using vista home prem........ :cool:
