Tablet no chart plotter?

[ultrasailors2]

Good morning,
We are in need of step by step instructions on how to use install open cpn charts and run it on our tablet android . We have done it on our Ipad with Sea IQopen, but the Ipad is dead.
Thank you for your help.

Do they need to be used with a stylus?

I highly recommend the BAK Seal 8 Tablet. They are top notch and made in America. I got one of the first ones they made a few years ago. I used it for a six months (wet and dry) and my only complaint was the screen wasn't any brighter than an iPad.

The one I had didn't have GPS built in but I didn't mind because I had my whole instrument network connected via wifi including a GPS sensor. They run Windows 10 so I used Coastal Explorer on it and loved it.

Assembled.
Most of the componentry would be made in China.

Made Definition: past and past participle of make.

Make Definition: form (something) by putting parts together or combining substances; construct; create.

Assembled Definition: fit together the separate component parts of (a machine or other object).

They are most certainly MADE in the USA from (most likely) Asian parts.
