Hi everybody, I wanna start using Sky Demon and I need a new tablet. I wanna know what to buy.

I know the ipad is probably the best choice, my problem is the price....

I need one with GPS (ofc) and 200 euros max. Can you please help?

I am thinking about the "Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite 8.7". They are selling it here in Portugal in a promotion for 120 euros. Is it worth?

I am also looking at the "Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 10.4" 4GB/64GB Wi-Fi" which comes with an Spen and costs 290 euros. Any opinions?

How about a refurbished iPad 4 mini cellular!? It’s in your price region.
Please consider also availability of software updates over the years.

I use a Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone (Android) and SD works very well on it
I would say that any reasonably priced Android tablet will work well for you.

I use Lenovo M8. Perfect size, very long battery life (have seen +7 hours flight time with SD without needing external power source) and low price on the plus side. A bit slow for planning in the device, but have had no issues in flight using internal GPS.  Use my phone as hotspot to get data access on ground and if needed in air.

I have looked at iPad but just don't find price value reasonable and seems there is issues with battery life and overheating, as high performance in small formfactor has it's drawbacks.

Hope you find what works for you.

Thank you, I will look onto that. My problem is that it is already from 2015, it might soon become outdated

I just opted for the Samsung Tab 3 Actice, which is the best Android tablet for this purpose at the moment.
Rugged and waterproof, quick hardware, Android 12 ready, pen and case included, great size (8") and bright screen... with exchangeable battery...
