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.

My mate had the same problem and tried this and it worked!

It may do the trick and I'm going to give it a try.

I've tried a few ways to get rid of the activation lock and one of them had a great website and made lots of promises and cost £20 initially, followed by another £30 or so, and then I found out it was a scam. I got my money back because they had used a money transfer service called Nochecx, and they got the money back for me. Unfortunately, Apple's attempt at increasing security and a measure to curb crime (stolen iPAD etc) have actually prompted a huge number of scams and tricks to sell people ways of overcoming it. So in a sense it has backfired spectacularly, but they're a big company and as so there is no one available to point the finger at.

Anyway, I will give it a try and report my findings here later.
