Rating of the best taxi tablets for 2022

Working as a taxi driver is not as easy as it seems at first glance. Here, the driver must not only be able to drive a car well and know the rules of the road. And it is also good to navigate within the city. But still, the streets are often renamed, as well as the cities grow. And in such a situation it is not easy to find your bearings, especially if the order was to the outskirts of the city. And working in a metropolis is even more difficult. Therefore, to facilitate the task, navigators were created that help the driver easily navigate in space. But now it is more convenient to use a tablet for these purposes. What tablet for a taxi is better to choose?

What is a tablet

A tablet is a computer device that has a fairly large screen, unlike a smartphone, and is also able to cope with many tasks. The dimensions of the device are different, but at the same time, almost any model can be easily carried with you.

Almost the entire area of ​​the device is occupied by a touch screen. The thickness of the tablets practically does not differ from the thickness of the smartphone, but thanks to technological progress, you can put good “stuffing” into such products, which will not be inferior to the modules of a computer or laptop. The central processor of tablets has from one to eight cores, and the operating frequency varies between 1-2 GHz. The amount of RAM can start from 512 MB and go up to 3 GB. The speed of the device will depend on these two parameters. The tablets also support built-in memory, the allowable size of a flash card can start from 4 GB. And newer tablet PC models can work just fine with 128 GB cards and above.

Each tablet has modules for communication, they can support both mobile Internet and Wi-Fi. So there are hardware modules, which are a navigation system, a camera, various sensors, for example, controlling the level of illumination.

Depending on the technical characteristics of the device, we can talk about the functionality of the device. First of all, any tablet can be used to study Internet content, communicate in social networks, control e-mail.You can also use it to download various games and applications that will help brighten up your leisure time. Movies with music that can be played on any tablet computers can also serve as entertainment. And of course, there is GPS navigation, which will be necessary for all taxi drivers.

Criteria for choosing a car tablet

A feature of such a device is great functionality. This tablet can serve as a DVR, anti-radar, navigator and also a device for working with multimedia files. Such a large functionality of the device allows you to get rid of unnecessary devices in the car, and will create a greater concentration of attention on the road.

Since the most important function of a tablet in a car is navigation, then, first of all, attention should be paid to this module. With its help, it will be more convenient for a taxi driver to choose a route to a given point, see a short way, determine the possibility of a detour if there are traffic jams or repairs are being carried out on the way. Such a feature on tablets will be very useful not only for taxi service workers, but also for couriers and ordinary drivers. Therefore, before buying a device that will be used as a navigator, first of all, you should pay attention to the operation of the GPS system. It should work smoothly and receive signals from satellites anywhere in the city. It should also show reliable coordinate information, and errors should be minimized. In addition, databases and maps must be constantly updated. It should be noted that this parameter will also depend on the technical characteristics of the processor.

Do not disregard the size of the screen. It should be about seven inches.Such a diagonal will allow you to easily control the movement. Devices with a large screen will not be very convenient to use, since such a tablet will not be able to stand stably on the panel and you will have to look for another place to fix it. Also, the screen should have an anti-reflective coating and wide viewing angles, so in any weather conditions there will be excellent visibility of information on the screen.

The amount of internal memory of the tablet plays an important role when choosing a particular model. The speed of the device will depend on this parameter. After all, not only personal data will be stored here, but also downloaded maps and the operating system. It will be very useful if the tablet allows you to install an additional memory card.

In order for the device to work as long as possible, you need to pay attention to the battery capacity. When connected to satellites, as well as with the maximum brightness of the screen, there will be a decent energy consumption. To prevent the tablet from unexpectedly turning off on the road, you should choose models with a large battery capacity. It is also important that the tablet could be recharged from a car cigarette lighter.

To get a permanent route of movement, information about traffic jams, repair work, cameras that control the speed of movement, etc., you need the Internet. Therefore, it is important that the tablet supports mobile Internet. At the same time, not just mobile Internet is important, but the ability to connect to 3G or 4G networks.
