Apple "Activation Lock" = iPAD trashed

Group: Forum Members Posts: 22, Visits: 91	I bought an iPAD 32GB Donkey's years ago and used it on and off, but I recognized the benefits of using it for Sky Demon. So later I bought an iPAD Mini and together with a Yoke mount I bought for my Piper Arrow III, had some really good use of it with Sky Demon on many flights of which some have been well into Europe. But just recently, Apple have applied an "Activation lock" that has deprived me of the use of either of these devices. Even though I bought them with my own money many years ago, they will not lift the Activation lock unless I can produce the receipts of purchase, which after a number of house moves are no more. So I am left with having to buy another tablet to run my Sky Demon on. I will never have another Apple product ever again, so it's going to have to be an Android. So here is the question... Please, can anyone suggest to me a good Android device that I can run Sky Demon on, that is about the same size as the iPAD Mini (so it will fit in my existing yoke mount) and has it's own internal GPS? Many thanks.
