Sky Demon Compatible Tablet Recommendations

r Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 0	Hi guys, I'm trying to find a suitable, good quality tablet with built-in GPS to run Sky Demon and looking for recommendations. I've tried a Dragon Touch V10 but ended up having to send 3 of them back as they packed in within a week or were DOA. I've previously used a Google Nexus 7 but it's showing its age now and the software is too sluggish. Amazon list some Samsung Galaxy Tabs which have the letters GPS in their titles but don't list GPS as a feature so I'm not convinced they actually have it and firm details are thin on the ground. Looking to spend a maximum of £250. Thanks

SD doesn't need a working internet connection while you are flying. I think you may be confused regarding some Apple devices as, I believe, some only come with an internal GPS if they are the cellular equipped model. Tony Thanks Tony, I've managed to clarify this now and you are quite right, I had been misled by a moron in PC world. I have ordered a Huawei Mediapad T3 7inch. I spoke to Huawei and they assured me it had an internal GPS chip so would work with SD ok.
