Hello Phil
Rod refers to Android as this is likely to be the operating system found on a "gps tablet" not Windows (XP, Vista, 7 ect) as found on PCs, laptops and netbooks. As Chris and
Ross point out they were a bit undecided as to if they should buy the PC version of OziExplorer if it wouldnt work on a "gps tablet" because of this possible different operating system. As Rod points out there is an Android version of OziExplorer and this is what would be required for an Android gps tablet.
Bottom line is you will probably need both the PC version and the Android version of OziExplorer if you get an Android device as many functions needed for map calibration and trip planning (for example) are not available on the Android version (i.e. do trip planning etc on PC first the load data to tablet and hit the road..when you get
home save, edit, share data on PC if need be).
Android version only costs $25 so getting the PC version first and then the Android version later (if need be) is not a bad course of action anyway (IMHO) assuming you also have a PC/laptop/netbook of some sort.
Can't comment on what would be best for in car. I am not familar with "tablets" or Android Ozi. I just use Hema Navigator (or Two Nav Aventura) as I prefer the minimalist approach (netbook packed away in the back).
Cheers
Greg
