Smoggy Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Or MMtracker, it's an obsolete app now but I have the APK file for installation and the broads os explorer map to load into it, the map is out of date roads wise but the broads have not moved. There's no more updates as memory-map insisted it was abandoned (by threat of courts) as it used their old chart format and mostly pirated maps, I have the files if anyone wants them.

There shouldn't be any reason why you can't download most apps on your tablet which are the same as on your phone, as the Play Store should still be on your tablet too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZimbiIV Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 If you link your tablet to your phone account, apps from one will be added to the other. All you need is the same google account and password on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks good see the square at the bottom right that changed to two rectangles, if you put your finger on the square long enough it goes split screen to the two rectangles, the same to reverse the process. first fire up the first app, then split screen and fire up the second app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS2021 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Assuming you are logged into both with the same Google account you can go to My Apps and Games in Play Store. Found under the menu button - three horizontal lines. This can take you quickly to all the apps you have on one device and download them onto the other.

MauriceMynah Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 My tablet is running windows 10, does that make any difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZimbiIV Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Running Windows 10? Are sure it is not just Windows Edge for internet access? As said above by rs2021 that is the easy way to sync apps. Or you can go into your goggle account and find, sync all my devices. BUT I cannot remember how to get there, sorry. paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy, I don't know if you realise, or even care, that you have just pinpointed your house (and address) on the world-wide t'internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 If anyone wants to visit they will be disappointed as I'm a miserable git anyway..... And gps is not that accurate sat inside a house, can easily be half a postcode out, not saying if it is or not though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I seem to recall when we were discussing this a while back the what 3 words location for one forum member was one of 4 3m squares in the car park outside his house. my issue with what 3 words is that to use it you require an internet connection, what i like about mine is that both the speed app i use (gps test) and the os mapping, work offline (with the os mapping you need to have bought the paper map od the broads area, and with that you get a free download of that map to their app, which works offline, it will show a view outside that area to a certain scale if you have the internet connection. I think your main stumbling block MM will be the fact the tablet is windows 10, so the android apps wont work, is your phone windows 10 too, if so we will need to be looking for a whole different set of apps to do the same job.

He is a very fine and generous host who cannot do enough for guests! Plying them with food and drink and seasonal bonhomie. One would be very foolish to miss out on this rare opportunity! He'll even don a santa suit upon request! A most unusually generous character in that there is also an open tab for all comers at his local! Miss out and regret deeply!!!

I can only see the maps I've bought if I zoom in so close as to make them fairly useless. OS seem to be taking a long time to sort out the bugs with version 2.
