There are several very long threads over on Flyer forum about this.

Personally, at the present moment in time I would not recommend the Nexus.


---------------------
I tried the Samsung P6800 and SD reveals quite unstable. If you do not recommend the Nexus, which one can you recommend ? I like very much SD, but if I do not find an appropriate device ... Is your own device the only good solution ? The IPAD requires an external GPS, so really it is very difficult to make a choice.

CORRECTION: Today I reinitialized my tablet, reinstalled SD and all the problems disappeared !
So, in principle, I will try flying when the weather will allow me ... the Samsung GT 7.7 (P6800) works perfectly in simulation and in planning. And this tablet has an excellent GPS.

NEW CORRECTION. Some days after the reinitialisation of the tablet, the instability of SD is back ... it crashes very easily just touching the menu button, trying to find some information while flying.

I put again my question, that did not had any answer : is there an Android tablet that works well with SD ? on smaller size, SD works fine on the Samsung Galaxy S2 (I use it as backup)

Any more feedback on the Nexus 7 performance with the latest version of SD? There was some feedback on the flyer forums that suggested it was much improved?

I spent a good while in Tescos at the weekend playing with a N7, really liked it but a little unconvinced about the display brightness? A bit of research afterwards discovered this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6073/the-google-nexus-7-review/3, which says the N7's display is only 312 nits?

I already have access to a Galaxy Tab2 10.1, SD looks great on it and the display is very good (pretty much sunlight readable at full brightness). The issues are that it's a bit big for flying with, and it's also used by all of the family. If I'm using a tablet for SD I'd prefer to keep it 'clean' and not have kids installing every crappy game on it.
I could look at the Galaxy Tab2 7" but like the 10.1 it is an older tablet & has a slower processor than the N7. The Galaxy Note 8.0 looks good but really too expensive. I may consider the Note 2 for my next phone but I also read that the display on this does not have great brightness.
I would like 3G on the tablet and am looking at the £0/mth data only contract from ovivo mobile.

There's pic somewhere on the flyer forums (can't seem to find it now) of a N7 suction mounted in a low wing cockpit with reasonably good readability but not in direct sunlight conditions?
Seems like this is a good size tablet allowing for both suction and "leg" mounting Smile

Would also be interested to know if there are any other good tablets for SD out there?

Regards
Gavin.

I am running SD on a Nexus 7. I like it for planning. However, I am not using it in cockpit, and my impression is that the brightness (or lack of it) would be a problem. I am running SD on a GliderGuider for in cockpit use - the smaller (5 inch) size suits me better, and the brightness is superb. However, this is a Win CE unit, which does not have the full planning facilities, so you have to do your planning on a PC and then sync the mobile unit. I don't have a way of syncing the Win CE unit from the Nexus 7 - I think it needs to be synced with a USB connection.

We have just about abandoned out nav unit and use the nexus 7 for every flight, ( even bought a backup that my flying partner uses.) positioned right in the cockpit it is better than our flymap and would like to compare it to an Ipad.
