Moving map on tablet (non-Ipad)
Hi All,
I'm looking for a tablet/gps/moving map option.
The ipad is too big for me, so I was considering
the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7", running Garmin Pilot,
or similar app.
Has anyone in Europe used this setup ?
How did you like it?
Thanks,
FTF

Im surprised you think the Ipad is too big... I think its a comfortable size.
The Iphone screen isnt bad for using memory map. I imagine the samsung will probably be close to what you want but then too big for a phone or other uses. Surely you we be best getting a dedicated GPS unit?

As the man said - the IPAD too big? Hmm.
Try the Galaxy Note - it's excellent value if you want something smaller yet can still be used as a phone. Airnav pro works quite well, so does aeroweather.

I' am using since 2005 an own developed and very complete navigation suite (2D, 3D, 2.5 D, tunnels, procedures , google synced, own terrain database, gyro and TAS integrated ( see elZee - Free glass-cockpit for Helicopters), I give it for free since 2 years, but it is fairly complex and does not cover the whole world) I use it on top of a dell XT. Would not want to miss it. Allows you to develop test and simulate complete 3D procedures, also plays back flights in 3 D
Because of cost benefit considerations (heavy maintenance cost of data) not commercialized (pilots that really can use that complexity probably can afford Garmin 5000H) I have just a few loyal users. Very useful in African mountains, volcano territory , alps, because of complete terrain guiding in 2D, 2.5 and 3 D, also has a simple but neat 3 D visualization of airspace
pm me if you want to know more

...ipad vs galaxy
Im surprised you think the Ipad is too big... I think its a comfortable size.
Bout half my time I spend in R44, and in the youtube movie
below the ipad is covering for about two octas of cockpit-screen
The Galaxy 7" has about the same screen size as the 695 (which I like a lot)
Together with Garmin Pilot for Android...
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=115856
...this should look and work almost like a 695; for a fraction of the price.
Am I right? I'd like to know, if there has been others who thought the same,
and have put this 'setup' to the test...? ...anyone?!?
Here's the Ipad is too big movie....

Samsung Galaxy Tablet used in OAMTC EC135
While I had started a thread seeking advice on whether the current iPad or iPad mini would be better use in the cockpit, I came across a 2012 summer or autumn issue of the OAMTC Christophorous FLugrettung magazine and there is an article about the OAMTC crews being issued with the Galaxy tablet. The flight operator / paramedic uses it in flight as its installed on the left hand seat of the EC135.
I thought as the Apple iPad was being used initially by the attack helo squadrons crews flying the AH-1W/Z for nav and targeting data as well as by their fixed wing KC-130J Harvest Hawk crews, and a lot of civil pilots I know do use the iPad and its been slowly introduced on the flight deck of commercial airliners as a new EFB, I'm curious about the selection Galaxy tablet is being used in the cockpit for the Christophorous crews.
Cheers

The Galaxy is a great tablet (better than the ipad) BUT - the software that works so well on the ipad does not jump across so well. I went back to the ipad for that reason.
