We use our Samsung android phones (j7) and a 7 inch samsung tablet for all our navigation - magnet mount on the windsheid. We have a plethora of other electronic devices, a 10 in tab, laptops etc. All our maps are off line (downloaded onto our devices) We have Spainish Vodafone sim cards (very cheap) for internet data and phones and now Europe wide with the new roaming regulations from June 2017.
