Dear Drivers,

Even in 2025, we still receive inquiries from users with tablets running Android 4–7, with only 512 MB or 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage, half of which is occupied by the system. Of course, we do have solutions for such "veterans" — including a special version of Sygic Truck available in the Sygic Pack Premium, and IGO Primo can be installed on Android 7.

However, if you want to use a modern, fully functional navigation system with online traffic, weather updates, an extended POI database, terrain view, and more — it’s time to upgrade your device. We recommend a tablet with at least 6 GB of RAM, ideally 8 GB.
If you're a long-haul driver, it's not appropriate to use an outdated family tablet and then blame the app for poor performance. Navigation is a vital part of your work, and cutting costs here is simply disrespecting yourself.

‼️ Stop buying cheap Chinese devices!
Enough with ordering budget navigation tablets from AliExpress. Trying to save money this way only creates more problems. The most critical part of any navigation setup is the GPS receiver. If you’ve purchased a “navigator” or tablet for $50–$100, that only shows a lack of understanding of how tech pricing works.

❗ Why do cheap devices perform so poorly?

1. GPS Receiver
These devices use the cheapest GPS modules without support for satellite systems like GLONASS and BeiDou, with very weak signal reception. Any issues with inaccurate positioning are caused by the hardware — not the app.

2. RAM / Storage / Processor
Budget tablets often use slow eMMC storage (up to 400 MB/s), while quality devices are equipped with UFS memory (up to 2100 MB/s). The same goes for RAM and processors — cheap models have the weakest specs, which lead to slow map rendering, freezes, and app crashes.

3. Operating System
Many Chinese "navigators" run custom or stripped-down versions of Android, which cause compatibility and stability issues.

All of these factors make cheap devices unreliable and stressful to use on the road.
If you’ve bought one of these — you must have strong nerves. But remember: every navigation app depends entirely on your device’s processor, RAM, internal storage, and GPS module.
If something lags or crashes — the problem lies in your hardware, not the software!

We’ve even seen cases where people tried to save money by purchasing the Xiaomi Pad SE WiFi, which doesn't even have a GPS receiver. That’s a textbook example of a poor buying decision.

✅ A good tablet is not a luxury — it’s part of your job.

Buy a quality device once, and enjoy smooth, reliable navigation for years.

Most of our clients have already upgraded to modern devices with full GLONASS and BeiDou support and no longer face any navigation issues.
The outdated belief that "real navigation" must come from a dedicated Windows CE device is long gone.
Modern mid- and high-end tablets and smartphones feature excellent GPS receivers, often more accurate than traditional navigation units.

On the road, you get a powerful navigator — and during breaks, your device becomes a full-featured multimedia tablet for movies, video calls, and more.

🧠 Regarding memory:

If you’re unsure, choose more — buy with the future in mind.

Recommended: 6 GB RAM / 64 GB storage

Ideal: 8 GB RAM / 128 GB+ storage
