I use a Galaxy Tab A 7, it has as good of sunlight readability as I have seen in a tablet and works well. I use Tophat, but should work fine with XCSoar. Brian Some color tablets are better than others, but I use Tophat on an ancient Nook e-reader, because to my eyes the purely reflective B&W e-ink display is far better in sunshine than any color display. The Nook does not have a built-in GPS receiver, so some sort of add-on is needed. I've used an external GPS puck via USB (sometimes froze up), and later grafted a small GPS module right onto a Nook, connecting to its internal serial interface (worked well). My latest arrangement is with a Nook into which I've grafted an RS232 interface chip for a wired serial connection. It gets GPS - and traffic - data from a FLARM. Works great. But all those (other than the USB puck) required delicate DIY soldering jobs. |
