Samsung Tablet Suggestions

[Vondy]

Looking for suggestions on what Samsung Tablet to get for mapping. Hoping to find a good deal on one during Prime Days. What model is the best bang for the buck? I really don't use for anything but loading maps on for riding.

My old tablet took a crap last year after about 10 yrs of use. Picked up a new A8 from Lifetime Maps this spring since I already had their maps. Never seemed quite right and after 1 ride I got to reboot a couple times and it would get stuck updating and now wont turn on at all. Lifetime maps was no help with the tablet, told me i had to deal with samsung. I have tried everything I can think of and everything on any youtube video I could find. So I guess it's just dead.

Not sure what the newest version is, but I run a dedicated Samsung Tab A7 10.4" 64GB with LTM. Works great for me, but it's a couple years old.

Edit: I think the current is the Tab A9+

I picked up a TAB 8 for a reasonable price, the TAB 9 was still a little more than I wanted to spend for a GPS unit.

Edit: I dont have lifetime maps, been using Gaia and onX trails without issues.

Upgraded my tablet this year before TO, this is what I purchased.

Very satisfied with my choice. I only run LTMap and have a few MBs of music loaded on the tablet. I also.added the flipup tablet holder and love it.

P.S. If you have the monthly map update plan they will swap you subscription from 1 working tablet to another for free.
That would be cheaper than paying the service charge to move it for you.

My Samsung tab A8 had a 1 year warranty on it. I just had to contact Samsung. They sent me a shipping label for their repair shop in New York. About 3 weeks after I shipped it I got a new one in the mail. I guess they couldn’t fix it 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
