I want to be able to use my tablet while traveling in the car. Is this all I need, &amp; will it work on the road like a cell would if cell had data servi

This device is all you need for 4G coverage moving or stopped. My wife uses ours to stay connected from our RV while we are traveling. It has worked reliably since we began using it. Hope this helps you.

You don't need internet to use GPS. Just download TomTom GO for $20. That's what I'm using. It worked perfectly without internet.

Yes the GO uses my existing smartphone to gather traffic data to let me know where the traffic jams are and route me around them. Previously I had to pay for a second data service to get real time traffic... and it cost quite a bit of money! I already pay for a data plan on my phone so this makes perfect sense to me. Also the traffic quality of a real time data version is much better than the traffic over the radio type (the old way). I thought it would use a lot of data too but looking at my phone it looks like 4 MB was used last month which is really low (lower than I expected)

Yes it does. My husband has in his truck 24/7. When we take car to visit for vacation he takes and places in car. Works great! Beware you HAVE to update on a monthly basis. Only problem. Plus it is not the best at keeping past route information.

I do not know about the iphone. Yes, you will need service for the wifi as you are driving. There is a port on a daugle to plug it in.

It works great on my cell phone . I us it all the time when I am traveling . I have an older cell phone so there is a place for it to connect .

For me, it is to serve as a GPS when I am abroad and have my cell only on Wi-fi or bluetooth, not the cellular connection. It then works with my GPS programs as well as mapping programs. It is excellent.

You need a standard USB port on your tablet to connect the hub. If you want internet, it has to be an Ethernet connection (hard wired land line; I doubt you will find that when you camp). The three USB connections work anywhere anytime.

We used it on the road with my laptop. I would suggest you talk to Verizon to see if the connection is compatible.

I'm not sure what you're asking. It's a lap desk. There's very little storage, just a pocket. The only way you could use it is if you weren't the driver. Of course the bumps of driving may cause the tablet to fall off the lap desk.

This is like an oven, you need car's electricity to use. Just plug in your car's cigarette plug and it does all the work for you. You should have one if you spend alot of time on the road.

Kenichi, I don't know about the remote for the in-dash. Like I said, the Parrot technology is amazing so, even with my bad experience with the tablet, I'm considering the Smart model because there's really nothing else like it that I know if unless you buy a new car.

No service is necessary. WeMo is wifi only, your car start is cell phone so it would require some kind of carrier.

The receiver works. It's actually located in the auto charger plug, so you must have that plugged in to receive traffic. Also, the traffic info is supplied by a third-party, and Tom-Tom can't guarantee that it will be provided. I've had mine for over a year and at one point their was no traffic info in my area for about 3 weeks due to a problem from the third problem. When it works, it's great. Will alert you to problems, suggest a faster route, and let's you select the route you want. My local provider (Tampa Bay, FL area gives good info for highways and major roads, but not the smaller ones.

GeroCzan - The micro USB port can be used to charge the GPS but only when not in use. Were you able to use a car charger to charge the GPS while using it for navigation? I tried but the display changes to a picture showing the GPS connected to a computer. GPS becomes unusable if connected to micro USB. Would be great to know how you did it! I don't care as much for the traffic information if I can use a car charger with micro USB port.

Yep it will work just fine. I personally have an android, but I have a co-worker with an Iphone and her Roadster works great with it.

In the case of the usb you are able to add some storage space. I infact have a Sunpak 72 in 1 high-speed car readers. I got a cord USB to a small 5 pin. This will allow you to transfer data too and from the tablet. By using this feature it allows the tablet owner to install some apps without consuming large amounts of internal space.
