Since there is a few of you more up skilled in computer abilities than me, I was wondering what is the best android compatable map app( preferably free or low cost)
Im looking more to be able to mass input the farm locations (from a company supplied mapbook) or easliy add onsite that I have to go to for my job. preferably a nice simple easy use one,
Im running a samsung 10.1 note for a nice sized screen
anyone got any ideas?
Google Maps. Assuming your tablet doesn't have it's own data connection / sim card. Create a wifi hotspot with your phone, and connect your tablet to that. Import the farm locations into Google maps (easiest on a PC), then save it as a KML file. Put the KML file in your Google Drive, and then you should be able to see it within the Google Maps app on your devices.
This method works for me when using property boundaries.

Ok Ill Give the KML file way a go later on.
A few fellas here just run their Garmin car GPS. One of the computer savvy jokers has done the hard work and put all waypoints on for them all they have to do is punch in farm number.Quote:
