Windows CE car GPS & Ozi

Broodie, as you have the soft ware the ebay specials would be the way to go. You will get one fr around $80.00 with bracket etc.


cheers

the CE 5 can take up to 8 or 16 gb cards but the andriod is a better option and you can do a lot more than the 7 in chinese gps

I started out with a 7" GPS that has served me well for over 3 years and going strong.Mine is capable of and does run a 32GB SD card.

Recently I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab2, 10.1 tablet. Out of pure curiosity, I purchased a beta version of OziExplorer for Android and loaded it. It works very well but is too big to mount of the front windscreen.

When my 7" GPS dies I will replace it with a 7" Samsung Tablet. It is much newer technology and far better resolution.

There are a few things to consider in your in the hunt for an Android Tablet.
- Make sure the tablet has a built in GPS. Some units only include a GPS if the unit also has 4G capability. Be aware of this.

- Make sure the tablet you buy has a micro SD card slot as this will enable you to load all the maps and photos etc you want without the drama of managing the storage capacity. I use a 32GB Micro SD card in mine.

- Don't expect to use an Apple Ipad to run Oziexplorer. It won't. You can use the Ipad as a navigation device with say the Hema app but I'll leave that to others to explain. Be aware that the Ipad only has a built in GPS. Also be aware that the Ipad does not have an external storage capacity (Micro SD card slot).

Sorry, that last paragraph should read"

I give up!!! Why isn't there an Edit option on this forum. I'm sure it would result in far fewer follow ups especially when I'm responding!

I mean 4G not $G

Annoying ain't it Warb.

Also be aware that the Samsung Tab 2 ( and most tablets claiming to only take 32G) will also take a 64G Micro SD. Get the Sandisk 64G which is about $65 from a decent computer shop and it will just slot in and work. I have tried it on the Tab 2, and Asus TF300.

Hi Wbs, I don't know if you are aware of this but this is how I use this reply part of the forum........... before submitting a response I go to spell check then to preview and if there are any errors or other material that I want to put into the conversation I go to return to edit and put in what needs to be put in, and then back to preview and spell check and then if all is correct then I will submit, like you it took me a while to get my head around how to use the site in my opinion properly. I hope this is of some help to you.

WBS This is way off top*** but if I remember I use word and then simply copy and paste it to this edit window. Doing it this way has the adavantage that I can still get to the whole thread while composing.
