Downloading maps to SD card to use in my car
Hello all, I'm in the process of buying a new car that doesn't have a sat nav, but does have an SD card.

Want a 7" tablet any recommendations
I have a Lenovo tab 3 10 inch tablet for household use. I used to have a Hudl 2 which died recently. I want a reasonably good "handbag" size tablet. Most of the ones I have seen are only 1gb ram and reviews say they are slow and laggy. I would prefer android if possible. Thanks
