Kurt, being the gps master and tweaker you are what would be your recommended Android device? Maybe a couple specific makes and models to save folks the trouble of trying to figure it out.
Sure thing, Mark. Basically, one wants an Android tablet that has a moderately large amount of memory, at least 32 gigabytes. Some devices have a microSD memory card and as long as you can put applications on the microSD card and run them, you should be ok even if the device only has smaller amounts of memory such as 4 or 8 gigabytes. (As is seen on some phones)
If one can "tether" Internet data from their iPhones, a wifi only tablet that has an onboard GPS chipset is fine. The OOP Nexus 7's wifi only would work in this fashion with Rocket Track.
With wifi live internet, Rocket Track is viable for field work tehered off a phone. Otherwise, any Android tablet that has a GPS, wifi and data sim is viable.
The basic requirement is onboard GPS chipset, as much memory as possible and one is good to go. Getting the data Into the device is the next major step. Wifi or live internet through the cell service.
Again, GPS Rocket Locator can cache maps and be used without internet access. I did a recovery with no maps one time. Just made two dots come together.. Early version of GPSRL couldn't cache maps and I
took a wifi only Nexus 7 2013 out in the field. North is up on the screen and I just walked towards the rocket on the screen. This is nice because some apps won't work without live map access. If GPSRL loses a map link,
one can just make the dots come together remembering North is up on the screen. Nice back up but doesn't warn one of intervening obstructions/pitfalls. Kurt (sorry about misspellings. voice app and sitting on the pot is not the
best place to compose replies.)
