Possible for RAVE to load onto cheap Tablets?

[superquag]

I've got RAVE loaded onto an old laptop (as well as 'real' computer) but it won't fit into the glovebox, or behind the seat. :(

Is it possible to (easily!) load RAVE onto the current crop of Android powered Tablets? Or even a mapping & GPS application?
- Something like a 16GB Thomson, capable of handling a 32gb Micro SD card.

My technological expertise runs out at XP-Pro....

I don't know how you use your Rave. I just have the top 3 manuals Electrical, Body Panel, and Workshop, that I read like a book in Adobe Acrobat. So if you have Acrobat on your tablet it should work.

Incisor sells freeraved versions of the RAVE CD's which can be opened in any version of Acrobat, including on mobile devices.

The original content came on cd, so is well under 700Mb.

I've got augmented RAVE content for the D2, GPS mapping (Ozi Explorer with Hema 2013 and Spatial Vision VicMap), and Turn by Turn navigation on a 32Gb Nexus 7, and the data has barely made a dent in the storage capacity.

... So, if I copied RAVE onto an SD card, and used that to load it onto the Tablet, it should work. (along with Acrobat if it's not pre-loaded) Wonderful!

Did I mention that I'm a card-carrying Luddite? - Have trouble with Google Chrome on the laptop (son changed it from Explorer)

So it IS possible to turn a 10" tablet into a moving map or GPS navigator? - would be useful on the bus when I'm doing 'away missions' in unexplored galaxies... (country charters)

Being born middle of last century, I prefer my reading matter to be on paper. - So I print (ring-comb bind) any sections I'm working on.
Eventually I'll have the whole RAVE in booklet form...:o

But it would be nice to be able to access the manual in the car when not parked in the driveway... It's all part of the WOW factor, bit like being able to change ride heights with the Air Suspension.:D

I print out what I'm working on - really handy when bleeding the brakes. Also going in for another go at the electrical fault finding section for the cruise control. Now that's long. :D And yep, the wow factor is hard to beat.

at your age I'd go a bit easy on that WOW factor Supa!:p

RAVE on SDcard would work - you should be able to open straight from the card.

If the tablet has built in GPS it's as simple as installing mapping software and maps. If no internal GPS you'd need a bluetooth GPS adapter of some sort.
