Yes. Bing Maps is preinstalled, unfortunately Google doesn't offer their maps application on the Windows store. Although you may always open google maps through a web browser

Abdullah, if you have double DIN space available, then you can use it. This unit is good other than GPS. MAP is old. I could not find upgraded GPS map any where.

I use google maps (since data is free - unlimited) I dont use the paid service of GPS.

Not sure about Bluetooth, as I've never tried to use it on mine, but for sure no GPS. You can't use it to get turn-by-turn directions. I do know that while using the Wifi File Explorer app to snoop around in the Android laptop's inner workings, I did see some files related to Bluetooth. Contact Avatar support at support@avatar-usa.com for more info. They've been very helpful anytime I've had questions.

Yes that should be possible...though using Google maps on a smartphone could be better suited.

Yes, you can if you are in the area covered by GPS. I used it for boat ride and set it to display speed and distance.

It's not necesary, but you need to have an app offline, google maps not work offline, at least you have download a especific map.

No. It is not a GPS device. Nor does it "reflect" map application information (but that would be nice) . It only "reflects " performance oriented data from a compatible App like: wahoo or strava; time, speed, cadence, pace, rpm, heart rate, etc.

I think you can use in any country unfortunately it will be the navi and the FM receiver that may cause you issues. I'm sure you can root the device and sideload google maps. Check out XdA developers.com. Ive rooted my unit and it's simply amazing.

Any app that requires GPS will work. No problem using it with the native Maps app or Google Maps. Pls note that I had problems with this particular device and replaced it with the Dual Electronics XGPS 150 which works well.

It will connect to Android, but to use it the "allow mock locations" setting must be on, which invalidates most gps-based apps. Ensure that the app you want to use allows mock locations.

I believe this is proprietary. From what I've experienced, it ties to the GPS software itself to supply the information. Best I can give you.

Yes, as long as you place the GPS antenna in a window or outside and the unit is connected to the internet.

Only if GPS speed is not good enough for you...Otherwise it pulls it form the phone gps. You DO need it for indoor (trainer) use.

Yes you can. They provide a tiny coaxial jack on the upper left side, (I can't recall the type at the moment), which looks like push in type, which is the same type of connector used on my Chinese Android tablet to connect the GPS antenna to the unit. Hope this helps. :-)

It doesn't have a radio and I don't have any kind of data plan for the tablet so I see a google map app but I have no way of telling if it would function as a GPS.
