use a fire HD tablet

paul69

hi all,

I am a long time gold user and beta tester, quick query please, although I think I already know the answer,

is it possible to use MRA on a HD fire tablet, i.e. to download the MRA mobile app, be it navigation or otherwise, has anyone been successful.

I have investigated how to carry this task out but it does not seem to work,

thanks

TS didn't ask if it's useful

"Ah - you don't want to start from here."

To get the app onto a Kindle you'll need to get Google Play Store installed on your Kindle first:

But you then need GPS - see Jack's suggestion.

Or just buy a basic Nokia tablet instead, and circumnavigate both problems:

I bought a Oukitel RT3 Outdoor tablet via Amazon for 168,-€. I think a very good price for a 8inch tablet with Android 12 and perfect for MRA next.

hi all

thanks for the replies, I had already tried the above and that is why I was asking if anyone had been successful. I was not.️

it's now a given, I will not be using my fire HD for MRA, I just wanted to take this away and stuff into my panniers, when I am touring rather than using my iPad.
