Looking at this capture:
It says the device was a Honor HEY-W09, which seems to be an HONOR Pad 8.
Someone I know had one of these tablets, and at some point I ended up wondering:
Can you actually map with this thing?
And somehow… yes.
You can apparently map with a 12-inch tablet. Not saying it’s practical, pretty, or a brilliant life choice, but it does work.
I didn’t root it or do anything crazy. I just managed to get Mapillary running on it.
Since there’s basically no tutorial for this, here’s the cursed method:
- Pick your unsupported device.
- Try installing Mapillary from the Google Play Store.
- If that doesn’t work, well… unsupported means unsupported.
- Open Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or whatever browser you use.
- Go to Aptoide.
I’m not guaranteeing anything here, whether it works, whether it’s outdated, or whether it tries to explode your dignity. It worked for me. - Search for Mapillary.
- Check that you’re still on aptoide.com.
- Download it through the launcher/store thing.
- Install it.
- And that’s basically it. If everything goes well, you might actually be able to map with your unsupported device.
So yes, if anyone was wondering… BY (loop)
