    I use MRA on a Samsung A32. Ik believe its under 500 nits (450). General speaking i think it good enough. Yes in direct sunlight or very bright condities it can be better.

    I did not buy de DooGee S200 for navigation purposes btw 😄

    I think to buy a Samsung active tab 3 or 5 which is 800Nits. I'm looking into other 8" tablet but there are not that many on the market with high Nits and who also is consider cheap 😊

    @Ralph-Janssen Sorry for the delay in replying - I have been out travelling! I think you will find that 800 nits will be a significant improvement the 500 nits you have now. My older Garmin XT396 is 700 nits, for example, and it is bright enough although it gets washed out in bright sunlight. The Zumo XT is 1000 nits is noticeably better than the 396. I don't have one of those, but several friends do and they report that is bright enough for any conditions.

      @Vincent-Curren Hi Vincent, Here is a photo of the work done so far. The tablet is not in its' protective rubber frame. I just placed for the picture. The Samsung Active Tab 3 has 800 nits. I have to road test to see if that holds up but the reviews from riders using it are good.IMG_20241023_153000_849.jpg

          I am asking for recommendations from users that have good experience with certain models of android carplay devices and using offline maps on the phone please. I use MRA and want to buy a Android Carplay unit for my motorcycle. Thanks for any input you can help with.
