Nexus 7 for mapping?

I haven’t used a Nexus 7 for mapping, but I have used another Android tablet for mapping (just as the Nexus 7, with GPS, without mobile network).
When I map, I normally do photo mapping. In that view, there’s no real difference in usability between an Android phone and a tablet.
The tablet is handier though, when you want to collect POI directly (like you can do with OsmAnd). This works great when being a passenger in a car. You don’t have enough time to make a picture, but you can just hold the map, make your POI (give it a name and type) and upload it directly when you get home.
So it is handier when you want to map when doing also non-mapping stuff.

Try to get the very latest build of the OSM editor Vespucci
http://code.google.com/p/osmeditor4android/
Watch their mailing list and the OSM develop mailing list … there are links to testing versions.
Because Vespucci was heavily improved in Google Summer of Code 2012
But a regular release is stil pending, or am I wrong?

Use Osmand for poi collection and osm bugs.

The GPS should be ok on the newer tablets. On my HTC Amaze, I was able to get the same number of satellites and signal strength as my Garmin Oregon 450 using a Chartcross gps diagnostic app. You’ll find that a trail gps to be more rugged and will have longer battery life.
For recording tracks, ensure that there isn’t a setting which locks you to google known trails and tracks.
