ashyk36 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Im looking for a 7inch android tablet, not bothered about the make, to be honest the cheaper the better. The screen needs to be 7inch as I want it to go in my cubby. Has to have gps as I want to use google maps for navigation. Would need to run either honeycomb or ice cream sandwich as the device would only require one hardware button Not bothered about the condition of it as the casing will come off to enable it to fit Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoralGT Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi, Please check following link: http://chinagrabber.com/android-4.0.aspx I'm sure you will funnd something cheap! Please just double check the viewing angles because one of my friends got on 10.1" with Android 2.3 and the angles are not great to be honest! Some of them may be interesting like Ainolo Novo 7 - as far as I know there was 3 models on the market lately so please double check the Spec! Let me know about progress. My friend ordered tablet from above website so you can be sure you will recieve goods:) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashyk36 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 The problem with these tablets Ainolo Novo 7 included is they do not have gps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Would buying a TomTom et al not be a better/cheaper solution if you only want it for the sat-nav? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 If all you are bothered about is satnav then I can recommend the navman panoramic. 7" screen just need to wire up an on / off switch and power and your done. I thought about a tablet but unless you are going to run your iPod through it etc what actual use is it? Having google and aps etc is pretty pointless when you have a phone in your pocket... Anyway a navman panoramic is £149 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoralGT Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Probably you would find some: http://chinagrabber.com/g718-gps-androi ... d-8gb.aspx But need a bit of digging. I do not know anything about above one. It looks like they don't add GPS to the 7" ones with Android 4.0 yet. You can find lots of tablets with Android 2.3 and GPS on board. Check some forums for reviews. I was thinking about Ainol for myself but I will wait and see Ipad 3 and then decide:) But it is a cheap alternative so it just can't be as good as other ones like Ipad or Samsung ones.

ashyk36 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 The google apps do not bother me at all.. The only features i would use would be the maps/navigation and the media player. I already have the bose hack so I could leave the headphone jack connected and play all my tracks from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway a navman panoramic is £149 Did you solder the on/off button? And have you left the device in its casing or have you taken the casing off?

spursmaddave Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It came out of its case You can see the on / off is a slider so I got a small button and soldered it on, push turns it on / off push and hold resets it if you need to.... I put the button out of the way, you can just see it here - Speed cams cost me £20 for the year and I just got a live traffic adapter for it, £30 and no subscription works a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
