Sygic works very nicely on the VTAB. However, a program called Navigon which uses Garmin maps is supposedly closing in on sygic as Garmin actually bought the company. What this will eventually mean for the program is up in the air, bt as it stands, it seems Navigon has considerably more to offer, but I have not used it as I no longer own the VTAB. I would check out both, but they do cost money, and you may find it in your interest to simply buy a dedicated handheld/portable GPS unit instead, especially if you geocache.

Yes, it has a built-in GPS which can work without a wifi connection. Programs available in the Android Market include Co-Pilot and Sygic. Very easy to set up and use.

It is touch screen, GPS you need to download the garmin app on iPhone, which is pricy, better off using your phones GPS, this is the basic model, so Bluetooth kinda stinks, I thought I could blierooth pandora but ended up buying a seperate cable and had to run it from back of head unit and sneak the wire out to my phone. I'd buy the next model up.

No, it doesn't have touch screen, but the performance is awesome. The shipment was delivered well ahead of time. I highly recommend this model.

As far as I am aware... no. There are, however, a couple of apps that will allow you to use a tablet or a phone to display a GPS. I have not yet tried this myself and suggest google for more information. I have four of these FIP's and while expensive, I do like having them and do not regret the purchase.

Yes, it has both Bluetooth and GPS. I have used the GPS a lot and it is very reliable. I have used the Bluetooth with my headset and it worked smoothly. I just noticed the prior answer. None of this has anything to do with Wifi which is how you connect to the internet. I have had several tablets and have never missed not having a cell connection - that is what my phone is for. Wifi is usually available when I need to use the internet. If you have the maps on the device the gps works just fine without a cell connection.

No, it does not. It is also very slow in acquiring its gps position. I would recommend this gps to anyone. I am very disappointed in its performance and I am currently looking for a replacement.

It does however I had my unit about 3 months and the GPS portion stopped. I lost the navigation part and I know it is my unit and I will not buy another one....everything else works except GPS.

It does have Google Earth and many other Apps that can be downloaded for free. Because I got it shortly before leaving for European trip and just returned home, haven't had much time to explore all of its features. Write again in a few days and I'll try to have better answer for you.More info: I tried to find the gps navigation as suggested by ketu78; no luck. However, because the tablet has "Google Play", you can look up hundreds of "apps". I selected "free apps"under GooglePlay, then searched for "GPS" which brought up numerous free gps downloads.

No, it is not a touch screen. It runs windows 8 which was made for touch screens, the laptop is great but windows 8 is terrible. If you buy this laptop load up a different operating system, I run Ubuntu and it works great.

Samsung Galaxy Tab (Wi-Fi) What features are available with the GPS. Are the maps proprietary or does it use Google Maps? Can I get a traffic option?
