Hi Walter, I probably wasn't very clear on this in my original post. The download link for the Firmware 20A01 Installation kit located here: https://espmc-eight.groups.io/g/MAIN/files/PMC-Eight%2020A0

The easiest way to download and install the database for your Android tablet is to use the Configuration Manager. Manually downloading and copying the files, although very easy to do, can be challengi
