Do you have to have your cellphone nearby for it to work or can I go for a walk without my cellphone and then get the activity onto the app,??

I had to manually up date the information every time I wanted to see it. No need to keep the phone near by.

Yah. You can leave your phone anywhere and sync the thing anytime once a day or four a times a day. Whatever you like, it'll just update what's not already there.

No, if the phone is on there are more features available, but it works just fine without the phone.

you set the device as a bluetooth device, so you activate the bluetooth on your phone, go to Bluetooth on the device and search for your phone.. when you connect your phone to gps you can access phonebook of your phone, call or send text messages from gps, so everytime you enter your car your phone connects automatically to gps, transforming it to a hands free bluetooth thing.. there is no app for that

I had no trouble downloading the app for my Android phone and, when needed, I can go to the website, put in the locator number and find the gps. My husband has worn this since August of 2013 and I can always find where he is on my phone when I'm away. Go to www.pocketfinder.com to check on the gps; when I called them twice with questions, I spoke directly with a service rep who was very helpful.

I am sure it is. i downloaded offline maps with the google maps app (latest version allows you to do that), and that would allow you to use navigation even without cellular service. It will only work if you have map data for the area you are in.

Connecting a cell phone is your choice. I believe as long as you don't turn on Bluetooth it won't ask to download any of your info.

You absolutely need a cell phone. Why you can get by without a cell phone, it is much less useful without one.

you have to have your phone with you...but u can make calls without taking your phone out the case.

You don't have to carry the phone. Once you are next to it or when you open the app it syncs all the information.

This video will explain where it knows you're at. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZSaMUfWstc You don't need a smart phone with any stand alone GPS. This device cannot link to a smart phone. I have a high end Garmin that can link up to a smart phone, but it's option for hands free conversations and enhanced traffic.

I'm pretty sure if you have the Bluetooth on, all you have to do is tap the button and it will answer the phone. As for keeping the phone with you, it will work within a certain distance. At home I keep the phone in a central place so I can walk around the apartment. I hope this helps.

Not really. It has to be plugged into a phone line. If you mean to move the device from one area to another without being on a call then yes

there is a simple app on the second page over of apps. click it and it connects. Actually our house has a wi-fi system being in the country side for our internet, so we are our own hot spot.!( no cable out here) It works on the phone great!

Wifi is for the gps to get weather, gas prices & other features. Navigation works without wifi. You can use home networks or public ones such as at McDonalds. If there's a map update, then you use the provided USB cord & computer. Bottom line: if you never connect it to wifi, it would still work, but you'd miss out on the features that make it different from other models.

No, unless you want to use your phone instead of your GPS unit. So then you have to also buy the app on your phone and pair it to the display.

It requires the app on the phone.. the device doesn't tell you anything unfortunately.

It works without a land line if you want to use it only for cell linking through bluetooth.
