Just got a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 OTG with a connector & tried it out it has a sd card reader & USB for pictures I got the USB to work but I can't find the file off my sd card from my GT-31 & load it onto KA72 can anyone help?
Do Androids read this kind of file?
Thanks Glynn

You may find the problem is the file format. GT-31 uses FAT16 from memory.
I have used the GPSresults app on my android phone and it gives results but have to e-mail / bluetooth from computer to get them on so a bit of a waste!

I have done it.
I use astro file manager to get the file, copy it local,off the card, then ka72 can find it.

I did the other day, but just tried again and ka72 wouldn't accept the file.

As demonstrated in this thread, the Android OS can read GPS files and KA72 can use the data in those files to produce results. This is on a cheapo Android phone with what is probably a plain version of the OS.
