New tablet with GPS

Options
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 .

    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.

    Perhaps you could tell us exactly what you have, for example the model number on the back on the tablet?

    It is difficult to find solutions when we have only been given vague information so far.

    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.

    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.

    With that kind of attitude, I wish you the best of luck getting help.

    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.
