Uninstall legacy MRA Nav app

I'm pretty sure the Fire Tablet is Android, but I think Amazon locks it up pretty good. I tried a few ways to install TestFlight and MRA Navigation and they didn't come up as installable candidates for the tablet.

Do I have to bow out of Android testing? Or, will I eventually sunset in the process? That tablet is the only Android tech I have.

TestFlight is an app for iOS, not Android!

@Rob-Verhoeff Oh, right. My bad! I tried to install MRA App. Just started and already getting the processes confused. Maybe it's best I stick to one platform.

Amazon Fire is definitely Android, but there are several fundamental problems:

• no GPS
• you don't have access to Google Services, which MRA requires
• MRA would need to publish the app on Amazon's app store. Easy but yet one more hoop to jump.

For casual games, Fire tablets are very good value - they're reasonable well made, and good spec, but for MRA you're far better off buying a basic Google-enabled tablet.
Just check it's got GPS and a decent OS level and, say, 3 years of OS updates.

@richtea999 thanks for this! I'll look into it, any suggestions for a decent tablet for this function. I'll eventually use it for my motorcycle rides so I'll want something with a decent size screen.

@Robert-Lasirona, I believe some people are using the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3 for navigation. I would not want such a big thing on my handlebar though

The Galaxy Tab Active is an excellent choice, especially the ruggedness/waterproof design.
Except for one small hiccup - the price.

This Oukitel RT 3 has a good spec (and reasonable reviews), but I have no personal experience of it:

Rugged, Android 12, decent sized battery, and a SIM slot if you need it to run it separately from your phone, etc. Maybe someone on the forum has tried one?

@Con-Hennekens thanks for the recommendation. It's a nice tablet and I would consider it with the exception of price. I don't need it to have cell capability, just wifi and bluetooth.

@richtea999 this sounds interesting. It would be interesting to get some feedback from those who are using it. I have a big bike so the size isn't intimidating. I was considering the Garmin Zumo XT2 until MRA caught my eye. For the bike, I need to make sure it can provide prompts and lane guidance. Features are there, but just a little late. From the feedback, it's being looked into which all I can ask.

ack to Navigation if needed (for whatever unlikely reason), but O

Unfortunately I am forced to still use the old Navigation app, as the new Next app drains my battery even while charging, which is a big No no. I read that battery usage will be addressed in the next release. I really hope that solves the problem as right now I cannot use the new app for navigation on any decent distance ride yet
