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

I replaced my trusty old Nexus7 with Huawei Mediapad  M4 8"; It is absolutely gorgeous with a magnificent screen, very good endurance on the battery. I use the GNS2000 external bluetooth GPS receiver with it and it is rock steady. The built-in GPS also works fine in most conditions. I can link it to my Huawei P9 Lite phone and don't use the optional internal SIM card.
The 8" Huawei has replaced my other 10" tablets, because of its handy size and good performance;

Can I clarify something, am I correct in assuming that unless I get a "cellular tablet" with a sim card I would need to connect whatever tablet I get to an external GPS source as the GPS function only works if connected to an internet connection. Question 1. How do I do this. 2. Or would it work, for example, if I paired the tablet to my phone via bluetooth. Sorry if this all sounds a bit clueless but shall we say I am a little technically challenged when it comes to this sort of thing.
Thanks in advance
