SW Maps won't run . . .

SW Maps looks like such a great app to mate with the RTK Surveyor, but is only available for Android devices and all my stuff is Apple. So I bought a Fire 7 tablet from Amazon. After a few hours of playing, I managed to download SW Maps. But when I run it, it says “SW Maps won’t run without Google Play Services, which are not supported by your device”. Was I supposed to know this? Is returning it my only alternative?

TIA,

Don

Amazon’s Fire tablets run Amazon’s own “Fire OS” operating system. Fire OS is based on Android, but it doesn’t have any of Google’s apps or services.

It sounds like you’re going to need a different Android device that works with SW Maps and Google Play Services.

Thanx. Already dropped off at UPS on its way back to amazon !
