looks decent enough,do you have this? or did you just search and link it?

BearDy89 · Nov 22, 2011

I dont have one no.

I have a moto Xoom £500+

But this is the first budget Tablet I've seen with a decent processor that could actually run anything worth running.

Was looking at getting a couple for work the other week, for the sales team, to knock up quotes and invoices on whilst on the move.

dwabbit how do you load mm onto that? sorry im quite new to stuff like this

dwabbit · Nov 22, 2011

usually you get a data lead for it (usb) and memorymap will reconsie a mobile pc to you can install memorymap on it ( uses active sync)
you can also upload maps straight to it vai memory map or upload them to the sd card in a reader then stick the card back in the handheld which is quicker

ive just been out to car and taken a couple of pics for you not as good quality as i would like

8kphil · Nov 22, 2011

thanks dwabbit,what a top guy,is that mm on the screen?

dwabbit · Nov 22, 2011

yes thats mm on the screen
you can also import all your tracks and routes from pc onto it. Also Ive used it to record my route when i have been out with others greenlaning.

you can also get a screen to comeup which shows your speed and location ie British grid reference and height

only one drawback dono let the battery go flat as you will have to reinstall mm again. so when mines not in use its sat at home plugged into charger. instandby mode batt lasts about 8 to 12 hours

sounds good to me! how do i install memory map once i get the computer? sorry to be a pain!

dwabbit · Nov 22, 2011

hook it up to pc make sure you have active sync installed ( you get that from microsoft)
on memory map on BIG pc at top of screen is tab for mobile device then just choose "INSTALL POCKET NAVIGATOR"

thanks mate,i might be needing you again sometime soon!

I use a hp tc1100 tablet pc got it off ebay for a bargain £65 it's running windows xp got a mount from here DUAL WINDSCREEN CAR MOUNT FOR HP PAVILION DM1 NETBOOK | eBay
using an invertor to power tablet and paired up to a bluetooth gps receiver runs MM a treat

Cheap laptop will do the job, I use one in mine with USB GPS, mounted with a Microwave Wall Bracket!!!

you need a pc tablet that runs windows xp or a windows pad

windows CE ALSO DOSE NOT work
