    Hi,

    GPS and navigation will be always on on it, as it will be used by tech teams to navigate to their destination.
    Sound should be loud enough for comfortable navigation.

    Although it will be connected to the car charging port, the teams will have to carry it with them during their work for noting down parameters. So battery needs to be quite good.

    Processor has to be decent and heavy duty simply because it will be running GPS navigation all the time. And also the monitoring software.

    Has to have 3G and call facility.
    Back facing camera required for clicking photos related to work.
    7" / 8" preferred.
    Has to be Android
    Affordable price because I will be buying like 6 of these. (under $200)

    Oh did I mention the GPS should be accurate and work very well? :D

    Please let me know suggestions.
    Thanks in advance

    You aren't concerned about ruggedness?

    Preferably, but I guess the choices would be very limited in that case..
