Route Planning Software for Android

people used to run streets&tips on WinXP with a pentitum and then celeron processors

how can they call the new tablets with intel processors underpowered

Less power than a I7 desk top.. sure

but way more power than any Pentium ever had..

Expensive yes, woefully underpowered no. The MS Surface Pro 3 is now available with 4th generation Intel® Core™ i3, i5, or i7 processors.

Nice. For $800, I hope it has full usb expansion and compatibility. The 8gig ram version looks good, but it didn't give a price.

I like the format of 10" android tablets, but the interface and software are decades old in terms of reliability, stability, and effectiveness.

And this whole idea of "We'll lock the OS so the enduser has no control over the spam, software version, data usage, etc is complete BS!

A winXP mini core with android emulation, full media, including cell/wifi, gps chip, and voip....Android would die overnight.

Copilot Premium for Android is $10 - lately on sale for $7.99 at the Play Store. It is one of the few GPS apps that you can download all maps right onto your phone or tablet and use the nav with no data service. The Premium has all of the features of a dash GPS PLUS it has RV routing for height and propane. There is also a free version but the free version does not speak street names or reroute automatically if you go off route - the premium version does. You can create a route with multiple stops.

X2 on CoPilot Premium... I've just finished loading in the same POI files that I have on our Garmin GPS (after converting them to .ov2 format), so the phone can serve as a backup or even primary GPS as needed.

Google maps works on the Droid, with a bit of work Ive managed to do a route or two that way though usually I use it only for "Short" trips.

There are now mapping programs for use with both IOS and Droid devices, I can not review them since I do not use them.. Just Google Maps and S&T on the laptop.

Like S&T better, but that has more to do with the size of the screen than the quality of the software.

In the meantime, I use Copilot for android. Offline poi, maps, route editing and storage, etc.

Not near thensame quality as Delorme, but it doesn't rely on intErnet or cell access and runs on my phone and 10" tablet, which is REALLY nice.

You and me both but I don't think it exists.

And before all sorts jump in and suggest various route mapping options - that is NOT all that S&T used to do. One of S&T nicest features is the ability to automagically insert stops at the end of the day, thereby allowing you to search for campgrounds in that area. There are many other options of course.

That feature and other reasons are making me consider that my next tablet should be a Microsoft Surface.
