    When travelling rather than take my laptop I'm thinking of buying a cheap android tablet. Would a Kindle Fire work? I think I read somewhere that the minimum Android version is 7?
    Thanks

      @Adrian-Stone, I think I remember to have read somewhere that a kindle does not have GPS on board...

      I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

        Thank you all, I should have said, I generally plan on a Macbook Air when at home and transfer routes to my Garmin Zumo XT for navigation. So it's just for the planning, but interesting to hear about the submenus and so on displaying differently on 8" and 10"+ tablets

          Thank you again. Ahh, yes, the inconsistency in operating system, well, I do mostly use Apple, laptop and phone, but I also have a very old android tablet which is on version 4. I though that just for travel a cheap android would do, as apple is always comes at a premium!

          Thank you for the pictures of the differences, useful to see 👍

            @Adrian-Stone I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7. 10" display. works well for MyRouteapp.com as well as MyRoute-app.

              @Adrian-Stone For planning a Kindle Fire is fine. Navigation, i.e. using MRA Next isn't possible.

              All you need is a browser so the Android version (almost) doesn't matter.

              Here are screenshots of a Kindle Fire HD 10" (9th generation from 2019 which is definitely not the latest and greatest ) running the default Silk browser to view myrouteapp.com in both portrait and landscape:

              Landscape
              Screenshot_20240508-170030.png

              Everything appears to work for me. I don't use this device normally - just saying it looks and acts fine. Space gets a bit tight because of the various menus, but it's perfectly usable.
