Best tablet and best GPS app for Android

That didn't go well at all, I got the back off easily enough, but the two tabs arrowed earlier had some see through yellow tape on them, which I had to remove, and it ripped off the end of one of the tabs so I now have a none working tablet.

Not sure where I could get it fixed at a sensible cost, as I still have a use for it ad a music player in the camper withe KS Hive bluetooth speaker.

Any ideas?

That's tough, both the ones I repaired did not have tape over, is it the clamping clip or ribbon cable damaged, perhaps they tried to overcome this problem of coming adrift in later production.

It's the ribbon cable itself, I agree the reason the tape was there.

I'm well miffed, looking to replace it with one of these, but a little concerned about the Glonass, need advice on that before buying.

I suspect it's GPS ordinaire with the addition of GLONAS as is my Galaxy S5.

They do HERE
GPS / A-GPS is a generic term for the American system. A-GPS is Assisted GPS that uses the American system and downloaded data for a quicker fix (they say) and GLONASS is the Russian system. So if it says GPS/GLONASS, it would be capable of using either/both for a fix.
Hover over where it says 'Positioning' in the spec.
