Ok, but slight snag, in that it is not seeing my usb when connect to the unit, no matter which port i use.

Go into Devices > USB and make sure it's enabled.

I'm on the point of buying a Linx 1010 to run VIDA on and some flight planning software - if I was to use an external SSD in a USB enclosure enclosure instead of a SD card do you think that it would play nicely with the tablet?

Other question is would I be able to use my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge to connect the tablet (via WiFi or Bluetooth to t'internet?

Thanks in advance

Dave

I don't wee why not, I've used a micro SD and a USB stick and both of those worked fine.

I also use my S6 edge plus for internet tethering wirelessly and that works fine so you shouldn't have any issues with your S7.

Possibly some sort of urinary tract infection but try to seek specialist help.

I was also considering the Dell Venue Pro 5130; would this be equally useable for the Vida software as the Linx guys?

Thanks

Dave

If you just want a simple machine for running ViDA then the Linx is fine. I use mine quite a bit and to be honest, for the money, you'll struggle to get better.
