Some advice please.

@Theo-Lammerts, ja die zijn er, maar daar ben ik er niet een van
Hier in het forum zitten vele gebruikers van zowel de carpuride als de Elebest, en volgens mij zijn die allemaal enthousiast over hun apparaat. Of dat specifiek om die toestellen gaat weet ik niet, want daar ben ik niet erg in thuis. Voor mij persoonlijk gaat er niks boven een native rugged android toestel die de app rechtstreeks draait zonder extra complexe tussenlaag. Dan kan je dure telefoon óók in jas/tanktas blijven zitten, en loopt die ook niet leeg.@Con-Hennekens Dank Cor, dat mijn vraag even op de juiste plek hebt gezet.

i recently sold my XT. and now only use a rugged tablet
which cost £100 new, been using it for about 6-9 months now, it's an Oukitel RT3 and i have nothing running on the tablet save for the MRA next and a web browser to plan routes when away from home.i do not have a sim card fitted, if i need internet access away from home/hotel etc i use my phone as hotspot and this seems to work, and only use offline maps and offline navigation. this works perfectly well for me.
i had to fashion a holder, which is attached to the original NAV 6 12mm bar, but it's secure and can be locked in place, a similar length of metal runs across the top and locks with a key on the back, powered from the usb socket next to the clocks.
battery lasts many hours if not plugged in, i would even say all day. screen brightness has no issues.
to achieve, we must first attempt ✌️

@paul69 I am also a happy RT3 user, since April last year.
Just for interest, can you make some more pictures of your holder?
Thanks

@Jörgen how do find the brightness of the RT3 in sunlight? The spec I saw only rated it at 400 while some other devices are as high as 1000. Thanks

@RetiredWingMan Hi, it is bright enough even with sunglasses, readable.

i agree with @Jörgen i have no issues with brightness, i have never not been able to see the screen,
not brilliant english there but you get the gist.but for £100 you can't expect the screen resolution of £300+ devices

It is not so much about resolution but rather about the brightness your screen produces. My phone has a max of 530 Nits, and I can live with it but is certainly on the low side. A matte screenprotector can help. It lowers the brightness a bit but lowers the reflection of the sun even more. I have ordered such a thing recently, and will come back on it once received.

i agree, but i should have written brightness not resolution. i had toyed with the idea of a matt screen protector but not had any issues yet. i might just buy one it can't do any harm
here you go @Jörgen
not brilliant photos but will give you an idea.
the black plastic attachment onto the 12mm bar is a generic fitment off ebay. it's not the most beautiful device, i was going to finish it off, have it powder coated etc but never got round to it. the salt on the roads over here in the UK destroys all things metal.i was going to buy a generic tablet holder and somehow attach that to the bike, but i thought i would just try my own first
