I have used the cheap RCA tablets from helmart, read that as www.walmart.comfor several years, the one I am on now is 3 years old and has done well. 32 gigs of memory, android 5.0 which seems to play well with google maps and rvparky and others, They have just put them on sale, with keyboards for $59.98. RCA 10.1" Viking ProYes, I know some think their I pad is better, but for $60 it runs google earth and stores current maps pretty well, does not have direct cellular connectivity, but the gps and wifi do work well and allow connection through a mobile hotspot, and gives you a cheap option to keep in the cab or trailer for web use as needed. Just saw, they are offering the windows 10 version, (cambrio) for $79.98Happy motorin

I looked into this and Walmart had one remaining version that had OS6.0 Marshmallow that was a refurb for $52 including shipping and tax. The other version they sell is OS5.0 Lollipop.I pulled the trigger on the refurb. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Refurbished-RCA-RCT6K03W13H1-10-Viking-Pro-10-1-WiFi-2-in-1-1-3GHz-Tablet-PC-Android-6-0-OS/864300994#read-more

RCA 10.1" Viking ProI have one of those too. Major issues like the USB port is not worth much (Oh it works as a charging port but that's about all) and mine has other issues as well. But it does EVERYTHING I WANT IT TO DO. so who's complaining.

I have the RCA Viking Pro 10.1 with Android 6.0 and like it a lot. Like the built in GPS, good charging port, USB port, and of course the price.

I do miss the GPS

I know nothing about these products. The “built in GPS” caught my attention.

I have not seen a reference to “built in GPS” on Walmart’s site yet. Can the thing be used as mobile GPS device?

What should I be looking for?

Everybody has different wants and needs. I have no use for any kinda of electronic tablet thingie. But, on my trip to Nebraska last year to see the eclipse the teenagers I took along did show me how to use google maps on my phone. I have to admit that is was handy but, I would not completely trust it. I heard to many horror stories of people getting stuck because the thing took them down the wrong road. I will look for things on a map first and then use the automatic thing as another resource.

Have a nice Day

Caveman is a pretty good description I'd say! Ha! Stuck in a time capsule and opened in the 21st century only to reject all the advances since maps shown the world was flat and the edges marked with warnings, 'here there be dragons'.

I'm joking with you of course. Not everyone can manage electronic devices made to make our lives enriched.
