Is anyone using Ozi on a Android Tablet yet? Was wandering how easy is it to load the new Ozi soft ware for the Android? I have all the other Ozi soft ware.
I have been looking at a 10.2" screen, but am worried about the size sitting on the dash, you can buy a car mount holder for them.

Still to buy jLAU, have picked out a couple on E.Bay for around $240. The only thing is to choose from a 7" or 10.2" the screen res on the 7" is pretty good, (checked a mates out) so the 10.2" should be better.

Do what I did.

Go to a Hardly Normal store, they have the Tablets connected to the internet and the sales guys leave you alone after a few minutes. Then down load it. You can try it for yourself.

I did it a while ago on a previous verson which didn't suport tablets and it looked terrible. Haven't tried it lately. Take a map with you on a micro SD card, or know where you can download one easily too.

I bought a telstra t touch tab from officeworks for $99 and have been running oziexplorer android for approximately a month with no dramas.
It has a 7" screen, plus the added bonus of being a next g phone for calls, texts and internet.

Yep, running Ok on Motorola Xoom so far. Just ditched the laptop.

(To use with android need to convert maps to OFZX3 files useing their converter program)
