Hehe, I never got to try my original Samsung Galaxy Tab (P1000) before it became 'lost'. I was looking to replace it with a second hand one, but it is somewhat more expensive than the Freelander if it won't fit. I will have to give it more thought before biting the bullet. (The reason I need the P1000 is that the mobile carrier here uses a fairly unique frequency (850Mhz) which none of the USB 3G dongles support). Cheers for your feedback! 1st time FL2 owner. 2007 SE i6 in Tambora Flame. |

It's not the easiest of installs, but definitely worth it!

It looks nice, but it doesn't have av-in so you won't be able to have eyes in the back.

I've had no signal issues thus far. Only noticed that it takes a bit longer to find satellites if it's very overcast. |

I have done my tablet installation and it has been running fine for a while.

I've just got my Freelander 2, 3 days ago, very happy with it but without a Sat Nav driving is a real pain. I've read the stuff on here and can see you need to get connectors on the long edges, and the PD20 looks good, however the PD10 seems to be better http://www.focalprice.com/CE0310B/Freeland...rrency=GBP as you can see the dimensions are 190mm x 123mm, anyone tried fitting something this size yet? It's got 2 sim card slots, wifi, 3G, memory card, camera, video and a kitchen sink. If there's anything glaringly wrong with it I'll avoid but it looks good, any ideas on size? |

The width 190mm is too big. In my installation with Freelander PD10 Olympic the size is 185x122 and it was OK but very close to the limit. In my opinion the 188mm is absolute maximum. Also the height was close to limit. Screen fit was very good.

I have the same dilemma. After surfing the net for quite some time, the Freelander PD's seem to be the best 7" GPS tablets. The PD10 with GPS is slighty better than the PD20, the screen resolution is the one that makes the difference imho. What I am not sure about it's the width of the PD10. Some say that it's 191mm, others 196.5mm. Had anyone tried the PD10? Laukke, could you please upload some photos with the instalation of your tablet? |
