Which tablet for OpenCPN

[Richard.]

Hi all,
I have used OpenCPN on a Raspberry Pi4 with the idea to make it my on board system, but for now I would like to run it on a tablet in the cockpit. I had a look at suitable tablets and I quite like the Lenovo P11 (seems to be good value for money). I am hesitating a bit as it runs Android 10 and there have been some problems reported with OpenCPN on Android 10. Is this tablet a good choice and if not, which ones should I look at? Have the issues with Android 10 been solved or have they been user errors? Which OpenCPN version should I get from the google store?
Thanks heaps for your insights. Richard

No known problems with Android 10 and OpenCPN for Android.
Do you have any references to reports of problems?


Thanks

The one from Dave Register. Cost a symbolic fee but the free one is not usable.
Works fine on my A ver. 10

I use (and have used) register'ed version of Android OpenCPN on many versions of Android and many different tablets and phones. OpenCPN worked well on all.

Currently mainly using Tab S6 (Android 11) - - fantastic.

Hi Dave,
These are some of the comments I found on the net. Not sure how reliable, that's why I posted the question on the Cruisers and Sailing Forum.

Thanks. I am anyway happy to support the people who put a lot of effort into developing the software.
