Hi everybody,
any new recommendations which tablet to use in 2017?
I'm new to SD‌ and currently using my old WindowsPC (2013) and an iPhone SE (2017), both working perfect with SD - congratulations to the SD-team :-). Now I would like to buy a new iPad‌ (to use instead of the iPhone SE, because screen is to small), but which one?
I'm thinking of a 9,7" Multi-Touch Display, but do I need:
Wi‑Fi + Cellular or just Wi-Fi? 32 or 128 GB? Anybody can help?
Anyway, the coulour should be space grey ;-).
And are there any good alternatives‌ with more or less the same specifications but for a lower price?
I would use the device only to go flying, so no other gimmicks (special camera or so) are needed.
Thanx for any good‌ tips.

Does anyone have experience with using skydemon on a Nvidia Shield K1 or a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (both 8 and 9.7 inches).
I need a new tablet (preferably between 8 and 10 inches) and these are the only tablets that really caught my attention lately.

I use the Galaxy Note 12". Amazing big screen!

I run it fine on a fairly old refurbed Asus Memopad 173X which I think was about £50 !
It runs faster on my iPhone 5S but for £50 the Asus was a bargain.

I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 (internal GPS). No problems so far.

Nexus 7 2013 (it has GPS/GLONASS), I use a RAM mount to secure it to the yoke and use it in portrait mode, the screen aspect ratio doesn't give much forward vis. if mounted landscape, unlike the ipad mini.
If I need to load data in the plane, either for late weather updates or plates, I use my phone to provide a wifi hotspot. I fly with a printed skydemon plog and plates

I fly with an iPad Air using its internal GPS. No problem, flawless performance so far.

I use an iPad air2 with cellular.
However for GPS you do not need to have a SIM card to be inserted, GPS will work anyway.
I personally do have a sim installed and took the cheapest Data only subscription so I can always access the weather or file/update a Flightplan when needed, but as said it optional. A kneeboard in which you can hold is if very convenient during flying.

Not leaving in UK, but my primary tablet in a iPad Mini Generation 2 (Retina). My backup device in an Android LENOVO Tab 2 A7 found few days ago, discounted for €50.





PS : my iPad mini is Wifi only and I have a Bad Elf Pro (external Bluetooth receiver). The android Lenovo has its own GPS included.

The Tesco Hudl 2 works fine, and definitely has GPS.
