Agree with everything you said.Samsung Tab A with 8 inch screen for me. Really thin and light. Under $200 dollars. Great GPS and long lasting battery. Great screen size for reading books, maps, editing photos, facebook, emails etc. I have a 200gb SD card so I can download all my photos as well as maps.me and Google maps for offline use with kml waymarks. I even have a few movies for on the plane or waiting in the airport use.[/QUOTEuh
If you carry an external battery pack (for emergency extra life) and your iPhone you will probably carry less weight than a tablet. Plus the iPhone probably (depending on models of iPhone and tablet) has a better camera and is easier to access (in a pocket, etc.). Even though I have both, I would always choose a decent smartphone for traveling. ¡Buen Camino!My iphone can do everything a tablet can, except for shorter battery life. I'm debating bringing the tablet for more robust functionality vs just the iphone for less weight (but less functionality on some apps).
Except that my phone does all that.Also, I just want to say that you might think a tablet is a heavy luxury, but if you consider that it does the job of a good guidebook (Wise Pligrim app etc), camino novel and a diary (if you don't mind typing over writing), then you might actually end up saving weight ;-)
Except that my phone does all that.
Hello All,
I am contemplating purchasing a tablet for the first time. I have walked previous Caminos without a Smart phone or any other electronic devices. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions in terms of a practical/easy to use model for use on the Camino (or things to avoid when I make this purchase)? Any suggestions would be most welcome!
