Re: Yes, you can have too much information

I add the weather channel temp forecasts, NOAA wind forecasts( thanks to Wolfe10), weather radar during the drive, all stays up on my iPad on its stand while driving and my vpms running on the dash hp stream11. Plus a old Garmin on a weighted base that shows the local speed limit and is never reset so it tracks the total trip mileage.
The VPMS setup I use so far has three separate trip screens. One is since my major mods and show 12k miles and 8.1 mpg and another is the total trip miles and fuel info and the third is the current fuel tanks info.
We are normally flexible so the wind and temp and rain and the Allstays campground info ahead can and has altered our route.
Adding to the electronic convenience is to use my EarPods and Apple phone to use the all stays generated phone numbers to call ahead for campsite availability.
Also use gas buddies phone number generating ability to double check the quoted prices on fuel.
If the tightness of the possible gas stop is a concern bringing up google earth and zooming in can show the exact layout.
