FAQ

Here are some common questions we recieve

Will it be bright enough in sunlight?

YES

The Rally Tab is sufficiently bright in daylight for rally use.

While it is a tablet, and there will be a certain amount of glare, we feel our screen brightness is what sets us apart from any other digital roadbook out there.

What do I do in a race if I crash and the tablet is broken?

We have not yet had a client have such a big crash as to destroy the roadbook. It is purpose built to be rugged and tough for rally racing. However, should such a catastrophic crash occur, if you had a paper roadbook holder, that would also be destroyed. The notion that a crash will only destroy a digital roadbook and not a paper roadbook is false.

Furthermore, the digital roadbook is mounted in such a way that it is unlikely to get damaged in a crash unless you cartwheel.

The benefit of a digital roadbook is that you can pre-load the route on your phone, and thus, should a catastrophic crash occur, you can use your phone to access the roadbook.

Thus a digital roadbook provides more redundancy than a normal paper roadbook.

Can the device work without cell reception (GPRS) or wi-fi?

Yes.

The Rally Tab does not need a cell or WIFI signal to operate. However, you do need cell or wi-fi access in order to download or upload routes.

You do not need a cell or WIFI signal to use the GPS or roadbook (once loaded).

How do I advance the roadbook?

You can operate the roadbook by using a thumb switch, similar (in some cases the same) as the multiswitch used to control conventional roadbooks and odometers, that mounts to your handlebars.

We offer an in-house bluetooth thumb switch solution with our bundle package, but there are some independent producers of bluetooth switches that are also compatible with the tablet.

There are also options for using your standard rally multiswitch and connecting it to a bluetooth box.

How stable is the bluetooth connection to the tablet, and will it not be lost/dropped all the time?

The Bluetooth connection is very stable, and connection issues are rare.

Can I use the touch screen with gloves?

Yes 

The Rally Tab is fully responsive even with gloves on. 

Is this also a tracking device?

At the moment it is not a purpose built tracking device, but if you use the correct apps, it can function as a tracking device, as long as you have cell (GPRS) reception.

Is this also a tracking device?

Yes

Can the Rally Tablet be used on bikes and in cars?

Yes
