Better than TomTom - it doesn't know Scotch Corner exists.I used to say FreeNav but it recently told me Scotch Corner was just outside Scarborough.... good job I check before following the instructions!

I have my nexus in one of those cases that fold up, and if you have a clipboard thingy in your van in the centre of the dash, I just open the case and hold the case in the clip , and the tab just sits there, never fell off and it doesn't viberateI have a Samsung Galaxy Tab and tried all mentioned and by far the best is Co Pilot .
finding a suitable mount has been my problem .. two that I've tried so far have been useless pieces of plastic crap..
Tablets are relatively heavy so need a substantiation mount ... The first one I bought you couldn't read the map for it shaking.. the second one was little better and it kept falling off the screen..
Before paying for Co-Pilot my advice is to find a decent mount, (if one exists) then try out Google maps and Navfree ..

I think the trick is to use the mount as suggested by Brian but avoid the vibration by making the bottom of the tablet, suitably cushioned, rest on the dash....You have the skills, make one. I made one that clipped in the map clip on the Ducato.
Anyone remember when Scotch Corner was a roundabout on the A1.

My thanks to all who have responded to this thread.
Jill has just bought a Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 so I have inherited her Tab 2 7.0 and was thinking of installing a truck sat nav to it to compare with the Noza Tec.
I'll look at Co-pilot and Sygic (always assuming I can make a mount ).

I too am a Sygic fan. I have used both Sygic and Copilot and much prefer Sygic.I've used Sygic for my 7inch Asus (like Nexus but also a phone) for the last 18000 miles across much of Europe. Apart from the odd 'argument' with 'that women! it's worked fine. The mapping is from Tom Tom I believe.
Sad to say I do! also remember all the multitude of roundabouts right up to the ferryhill junction.

You can also use camper contact with sygic, thanks for that input, that makes my mind up for me.I too am a Sygic fan. I have used both Sygic and Copilot and much prefer Sygic.
On my previous phone I used to have Sygic for Europe and Copilot for when I was in the USA. Both bought a while ago when sat nav apps were much more expensive. Both bought direct without using Google Play Store. Sygic have been great - I have always been upgraded to the latest version with all the improvements and maps free of charge. Copilot I ended up on an older version because they required payment if I wanted the new "enhanced" version. And with that old version updated maps became less and less frequent. Sygic subsequently linked updates to my Play Store account so I can use it on up to 3 devices and get updates quicker. Copilot did not, which meant one device only and no way to move onto another one without speaking to them.
In addition I much prefer the Sygic's user interface over Copilot's. It seemed so much more intuitive. So when I got my new phone earlier this year I easily transferred Sygic onto it, but Copilot needed me to contact them and jump through hoops. At the time Sygic had a sale on and so I bought the North America maps for about £17 I think. So I now use only Sygic.
The only thing that annoys me about Sygic is that they use their own format (.rupi) for POIs. They do provide a converter so you can put your own on, but it is just another step I could do without.
What is camper contact please??You can also use camper contact with sygic, thanks for that input, that makes my mind up for me.
I have the galaxy tab s ,8.4" so interested in the mounting replies too.
