    What can I say. I was overwhelmed with technology.

    All the best technology and tackle in the world and I still can’t catch a fish ;)

    My phone can’t download shit, because my internet at home is so shitty (and my kids hotspotting in the car) I’m usually at my capped GB 1/3 of the way through every month.

    Question for you folks. Is there a local shop that specializes in tablets? I've been looking at a new tab since my old Samsung is incompatible with Avenza, and I think I found one(Samsung active pro) that I would like to purchase, but would really like to talk to someone about it and make sure it will run the app. Have been checking out local shops like The Source, best buy etc, but no one seems to carry this model(online anyway) Thinking there may be a commercial shop that may carry it around here? Or anyone have this tablet who can confirm it will be compatible?

    I can't confirm that it would work but depending on how old your old tablet was and what version the operating system was may be a factor. I have it running in my phone which is a Samsung s9 and avenza works on it. And this tablet is newer than my phone so I would say it would work. To be sure find out the operating system that Avena app needs and find out the operating system of the tablet. Once you have that you should know if it would work.

    My tablet is definitely a few years old(model SM-T113 with Android version 4.4.4). Doesn't have Avenza or Mercury vesselview in the app store. Kinda wanted a bit larger device anyway. Had my old one worked, I would probably have mounted it on the dash and put the bigger one at the bow. Now I'll have to transfer the new one between 2 ram mounts. Little bit of a PITA, but will do for now.

    Even after the latest OS update to your older tablet, Avenza won't work?

    For what it's worth, my Huwawei tablet that came with my S9 phone runs Avenza mint. Very nice to browse the AEM maps on the bigger tablet.

    From what I read now Avenza is compatible with Android 6 and up. Ordered in a 10" Samsung Active Pro tablet from Memory Express yesterday. IP68 rating. Should be compatible. Also looking at a used Huawei as my second unit for the bow on fair weather days.

    I can tell you 100% that Avenza works flawlessly on my Samsung S9 and my 1-2 yr old Hawawei tablet. Both running Android OS

    So nice to be able to browse the maps, in the palm of one's hand.

    I need to play with the app more, to add all my waypoints. I've heard nothing but great reviews on the waypoint functionality of Avenza, but am yet to try it....just too busy with the Winter-to-Spring flip lately.

    Yes works on my S9 also. My other tablet is about 10yrs old, kids are not even using it anymore. Haha. Really I needed a good excuse to buy a new bigger tab.

    Has there been a tutorial video for importing waypoints from the lowrance app yet?

    Finally got the new Samsung Active Pro tablet. Gotta say, I'm pretty pumped about having AEM on board this year!!! 20210427_193028.jpg

    I'm assuming the "Active" namesake indicates a 'tough book' type of chassis that's meant for some rougher than normal usage? If so, sounds ideal for that situation in a boat or at camp.

    You're gonna love having the McDoooogz along with you :)

    Yes it has the IP68 rating, so should be able to withstand the elements, and comes with an extra case for protection. Also has a removable battery, micro SD slot for added storage, and an S-pen for those cold days you don't want to take your gloves off. When on non AEM waters it will serve as a screen for my Mercury Vesselview.

    Just wanted to relate a story about the excellent customer service at Avenza. When I first opened my account with them to buy some AEM digital maps, I mistakenly bought a couple outside my account, so couldn't share those 2 with my other devices. I found w. Google in the Avenza FAQ the procedure to contact Avenza support with my purchase history and they could move the maps into my account. I put it off for a couple months as it wasn't urgent and I thought maybe it would be a hassle. Boy was it ever the opposite. I finally emailed Avenza support yesterday with my request and within an hour I had a reply back, they had moved the maps into my account and reminded me how to access them . I was really impressed with the service. Seems like a good partner for AEM. Oh and i have used some of the other maps (properly downloaded) on my phone in the boat and it works great.

    I'm not sure if I'm clear on this but I just upgraded my phone, how do I download a map previously purchased? Is this possible?

    Video to supplement, although it really is as simple ^ as @chrism describes.
