Do you need the $40 internet package to use the gps?

As I recall, yes. You must sign up with carrier for extra services. I returned this phone due to continuous dropped calls.Google reviews before buying. Great phone. Poor mechanics.

Yes. It comes with a map function that is the same as GPS, and you can also get several free GPS apps.

No the CD isn't required. But you should find out what firmware version your internet provider is using so you can upgrade it if necessary.

Not a major GPS provider. There is a message that comes up with web address to purchase updates. The maps loaded were pretty good and the system works well

NO! very misleading. I bought this model last year for Germany trip and did not have a map package. Was too late when I got there so I spent a month without a gps.

Hello Moses, yes it does. The GPS also does not require a data plan to use.

I am not sure about it coming with GPS. However, it is an ANDROID tablet, so surely you could download a GPS app from the Google App Store. Now, to get that GPS to work in real time , you would need some kind of internet wireless card , or something, because otherwise you wouldn't have internet connection. It has to have a WIFI connection, unlike your phone that would work on AT&T;, Verizon, etc., towers. The table doesn't work that way. Hope this helps you.

Was not included but has ports to allow for one. You can find one that will work for pretty cheap money. Side note - I probably would not buy unit again with hindsight. GPS sw needed update out of the box and would cost additional $75.Actually use phone gps that this unit now.

The unit needs to be charged and then it wii take you to the location of your choice. You also need the Internet to update the locations when necessary

It has GPS capability, but you need to buy an add on device. I don't have one, so not sure what it costs

Internet is necessary. Some apps come with it. Mine crashed about 2 weeks after I got it. I'm returning it and hopefully the next one will be fine. Happy New Year!

I am using ATT and I don't have data plan, and the GPS works OK. The turn by turn service life time license is included in this edition so it is free for the life-time. Other editions may require you to purchase annual service license.

I don't think so. You will be much better off with an iPhone and Google maps which gets updated often and for free.

no, the service relies on the GPS satellites and is totally free. I love it. No hidden costs !

No. You can still use google maps to find directions if your connected to the internet, but you can't get turn by turn directions. Archos has some decent tablets around the same price with GPS's

No. Just put the GPS receiver on your dashboard and plug it into your laptop computer. Of course the CD must be installed first. You then can plan your trip using any stops or via's before you depart.

I believe you can download up to devices. Best bet is to go to Phantomalert.com and contact support. If its for a life time i'm sure it makes no difference if you purchase a new gps next year.
