New tablet with GPS

At present I have a Lenovo tab 3 7 tablet that I bought just over 2 years ago that I used as a sat nav because it had GPS and it just happened to fit in the correct place in my car so I could see it but it couldn't be seen from outside the car.
Then I factory restored it because it was full of junk and was running slow.
Big mistake.
However I now want to replace it but I am having difficulty finding a tablet with GPS for the £49.99 I paid for it.
Even had to buy a face cloth for 60p to put it over £50 for free postage from JL.
Any suggestions for a tablet with GPS under £100 (preferably £50)that I can also play candy crush on :rotfl:?

Should not be a problem as FS just restores the original image .
You may be able to find the factory firmware to reflash .0 -

Well neither Google or Lenovo could fix it for me.
I doubt you could find a solution.
Out of warranty tough luck.
Of course you have not answered my question.0 -

I am not looking for a solution to fix my old tablet.
I've already spent over 3 hours on the phone with both Google and Lenovo and also long email conversations over 2 weeks and they couldn't fix it so I have given up.
Now I want a new tablet with GPS preferably under £100 as I stated originally and if you don't have any suggestions then don't post.0 -
No help to offer, I'm afraid and if I went by your rules I wouldn't post but I don't and your attitude to previous posters means that hell will freeze over before you get much more help.0

There may well be a chance that your old tablet could be put back into a working state. A fool and their money are easily parted.0 -
