new android tablet

[Stropp]

I HAVE JUST CANCELLED THIS DUE TO THE FEEDBACK FROM YOU GUYS hi guys i just bought this
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10-1-10-Point-IPS-Sanei-N10-Quad-Core-Tablet-PC-RK3066-1-2-GHz-GPS-WI-FI-1G-4G-/281151316382?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:AU:3160

I have an ipad with hema on it but to be honest im a bit dissapointed with how many tracks are not on hema, a lot of the western patrol guys are running ozzie and have far more maps that i can access with hema so i had a look for a gps inbuilt android tablet and thought for the price if it works i cant go wrong, i will post up my findings when i receive it and give it a try, i will still take my ipad and log the tracks with hema just incase the cheapy tablet poops itself.

If you see something thats too good to be true, then it isn't. $18 for a tablet with free postage? Suss. the last three people who have bought one are all negative feedbacks. Awesome price if you don't get it though. Will be watching this thread to see results. As I'm in the market for a tablet. Will get a GoPro at the same time... Bought the missus a Galaxy Tab 2 and its pretty good. A bit slow but not bad for the price. So I reckon I will get the Galaxy note as this is the only tablet that is faster than the iPad. And I certainly won't be buying Crapple chit again.
So Hema isn't all that good then? I have NFI with GPS maps so I need to do some research first.
Good luck Stropp.

[Bloodyaussie]

Did you read the feedback....not looking good mate?

[Winnie]

Yeah I'm in the market for a tablet with gps too. I have an ipad but got the non gps one so I might sell that and try get a cheap 2nd hand ipad I think.

[Stropp]

bugger i must admit i dint read the feedback just looked at the score as i was doing something else at the same time but it was bought thru paypal so if it doesnt turn up i will get my money back.

Always and I mean always read the feedback, Anything under 100% check all feedback as a seller as to why there is a negative comment.

Even with 100% I check as to how many sales they have had............I'm pretty sure a member could have 100% feedback with no sales and if thats the case I would be on the cautious side buying something off them

Good luck Stropp, hope you get a bargain

[oncedisturbed]

Anything around 99.5% upwards you are pretty safe. I got your email bud and others have mentioned it does look to good to be true.

Let me know how you and will find 1 for you if this 1 doesnt work out.

You will pretty much never go wrong with the galaxy tab or similar like Asus etc but having said that there are sime pretty good cheapies out there


Never underestimate the power of the darkside, let the tap flow through you.

[Stropp]

yeh i have contacted paypal to say that on reading the feedback i think it is fraudulant and i want my money back, no big loss if i dont but its the lesson learnt there, there are others selling the same thing for $156 with 100% feedback i may look at one of those.

[oncedisturbed]

Before you do, let us know what you want out of the tablet and I will hunt 1 down for you

OD just the gps tracking so i can use ozzie explorer mate i will still use the ipad for the rest.

[oncedisturbed]

No probs, will have a look for you

If you get a good un, you'll never use you IPad again Hahahaha

[Bulbous]

Bought the missus a Galaxy Tab 2 and its pretty good. A bit slow but not bad for the price. So I reckon I will get the Galaxy note as this is the only tablet that is faster than the iPad. .

You can't go wrong with the Galaxy Note series. I've got the Note 10.1 and the Note II. Both of them rock. My daughter pestered me so much, I had to get her a Note 10.1 of her own so she'd leave mine alone.

OruxMaps is pretty good on it as well

[Clunk]

Yep missus has the Galaxy Note 10.1, very impressed with it, they're currently the ones in the Samsung range to go for because of the more powerful processor. My 7year old daughter has a Galaxy 7" Tab2 which is also very good...... Nice and compact.
I'm using a Motorola Xoom, which is good and robust due to having a metal case but it's a few years old now so I really notice how slow it is after using my phone and it's not light compared to the Samsung's.

All of the above I have used a normal road navigator on and work very well. I've yet to purchase Ozi explorer to try it out.

[Stropp]

I don't want to spend a lot of money as it will only be for navigation.

Aldi have a tablet with GPS on special next week.

And with Aldi's 60 day satisfaction guarantee.

[oncedisturbed]

Thats not a bad little tablet, pity no Aldi in WA but if Stropp is keen on that 1 maybe 1 of the members on the East Coast could snag 1 for him

[Clunk]

It's about time Aldi got off their arses and opened up over here!!!!!

[oncedisturbed]

They are looking at it Clunky, still aways off but they are monitoring target areas for maximum exposure / growth same as Masters did when they entered Wait Awhile

Damn, might look seriously into that to use as a permanent GPS.

[oncedisturbed]

other option is look at a cheap WinCE chinese GPS unit and load OziCE on it with an SD card or if you have an old Navman that takes an SD card, you can load Miopocket on it and put Ozi on the SD card and viola all done

[oncedisturbed]

I had a look at heaps of these and this 1 is probably 1 of the best ones out there for the coin without going up in price for a Samsung etc and seeing as it can take a SIM card it has an internal 3g / GPS module so no need for dongles etc.

100% seller rating and based in Sydney.

Looks exactly like the Evorea I bought for around the same price but without the internal 3g / GPS module, hunks of junks not even worth the 130bucks

We bought 2 of them and had issues with one that kept crashing................no customer support

It might do the job if you are only going to use it as a gps, but I would spend 100 bucks more and get something half decent that at least has customer support

P.S: That one in the link does not come with an Australian charger, you will also have 2 buy that

[oncedisturbed]

DOH missed that part, if only using for GPS better getting just a cheap WinCE GPS jobbie and running with that and put Ozi on it and keep the Ipad for everything else

[Stropp]

Well I put in a dispute with PayPal and asked for a refund and they have sent an email today to say it has been posted, so will see what happens from here.

Stropp, it might be second hand but theyre a bloody solid unit.............. I know, Ive dropped mine many times!!!!!! hahahaha

[Stropp]

Does it have GPS clunk, I can't see where it says it does?

[NissanGQ4.2]

Does it have GPS clunk, I can't see where it says it does?

Nearly all android devices have inbuilt gps, I have read the only Android devices you will find that don't have gps are some of the cheap chinese devices and even the Play store is not legit on them.

And yes that has GPS: http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_xoom_mz601-3834.php

[Clunk]

yeah mate it does, its the same as mine apart from this one has 3G as well

I have an ipad with hema on it but to be honest im a bit dissapointed with how many tracks are not on hema, a lot of the western patrol guys are running ozzie and have far more maps that i can access with hema so i had a look for a gps inbuilt android tablet and thought for the price if it works i cant go wrong, i will post up my findings when i receive it and give it a try, i will still take my ipad and log the tracks with hema just incase the cheapy tablet poops itself.

Hey Stropp,
I agree with you about the number of tracks shown on the Hema maps BUT you can add maps to your Hema powered IPad.
I scan and calibrate all my own high country paper maps for use on my iPad. Works a treat.
I have a DIY thread on how to do it. There's a bit if a learning curve the first time but after that its a piece of pi$$. You can even convert some of the electronic OziExplorer maps to work with it too.....
Look up Memory Map, that is the software that is used to display the Hema maps.....


Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

Yeh clunk I have the ram mount for the ipad that's why I was after a 10" tablet so it will still fit the current setup.

Ahhhhhhhh of course, forgot you got one already...... I'll shut up now lol

[Drewboyaus]

Yeh mate but I am a troglodyte when it come to that sort of stuff.

OziExplorer is much more complex to use and set up, its like using Windows 3.1.......It has more features though.

Sent an email to the seller clunky.

[Clunk]

So how's it all working out Stropp?

[Stropp]

Yeh I got it seems to work ok, bought an sd card for it but need to work out how to open ozi. Cheers for the link mate at $100 it was cheap, just need to get a car charger if you can find a cheap one for me :)

[Clunk]

Yeh I got it seems to work ok, bought an sd card for it but need to work out how to open ozi.

get in touch with SPN WRC mate, he's got the same tablet and Im pretty sure he uses Ozi

[oncedisturbed]

go here Ozi Explorer (http://www.oziexplorer.com/) and select Ozi for Android and on the left hand side then go to the top of the page with the Link for "Using Maps in Android" and it will show how to install maps and on SD cards.
