Android tablets are devices that I don’t know a lot about. I’ve seen plenty of them around, but I haven’t seen many people actually use them, but I’ve seen plenty of iPads and sometimes Surfaces out in the wild. Many large Android manufacturers have tried, like Samsung and Huawei, but reception to them seems lurkwarm at best.
Tablets, to me, are more of media consumption devices than productivity devices. So, I guess the questions of the week would be, what is your experiences with Android tablets, and what are some features you are looking for in an Android tablet to make it worth buying?
Past Discussions:
I have a Raspberry Pi running Signal K on the computer. This transmits all boat sensor data (depth, wind, GPS, AIS targets, etc) to the tablet. On tablet I can then run a chartplotter app, for example Navionics, SeaPilot, OpenCPN, or my current option, Orca CoPilot.
So… Your tablet runs on a cell signal?
The tablet does have an LTE modem, but in this case it’s getting internet from the boat (Teltonika RUTX11 modem)
