Hmmm. Maybe that's the way to go...seems strange to me but if it works it works.

I have an old S4 that I could use in a mount and wire it direct

Its not that strange, really. That's how all mapping software that doesn't require a cell signal to operate works basically. In AlpineQuest you can pick your basemaps and vary the transparency of the layers.
You can try the free version. I make maps for all sorts of things. My wife ran the Milwaukee Marathon so i found a GPX track of the route, saved the area, created waypoints etc. It was great.

Wow. Thats pretty damn impressive. You're married??!


Hahah. No but seriously. ..she ran a marathon? ??


No really...the maps thing is awesome. I'm gonna do that. I don't mind paying for a good app. Especially since the device is free.
