Darn it, I have never tried the gps; however, I have found customer service at 5 Star to be very helpful. Also, please consider if you find the gps is not satisfactory, return the unit to Amazon or go ahead and buy it from a local Walmart for a bit higher cost, try it out and see what happens. BTW, I only need to charge my unit once each week and the provided test to check the unit works quite well. I like mine and the only negative in the experience is that in 5 Star advertisement, they really should note that a monthly tax will be added just like any telephone system. Mine adds about $3. Harry

Yes, it works perfectly fine. I use Runkeeper and it tracks all my runs using GPS while in the case.

You will have to pay a monthly fee once the GPS device is activated. But it's not a long term contract, it's month to month. By the way, the device and service work great. I found it to be worth the money.

do you need data subscription from service provider to use the gps feature ?

You must connect the GPS unit to you PC & download the latest update & maps before using the unit. Otherwise, you will get annoying pop-up "Tom Tom commercials" Also register your unit.

It comes with the limited time subscription. You might have to buy another subscription after that, but theCobra Aura database contains an extensive listing of redlight camera locations, speed traps, and dangerous intersections. We are constantly adding new locations to the database, so it is a good idea to routinely update your GPS Locator. You may update your GPS Locator as often as you wish during the subscription period. My husband is an over-the-road trucker and he says this GPS is invaluable

Yes,no odometer,because few users require it.We have built into the program tracking with GPS and making coordinates,but this is an option.

No. Nor does it come with a USB cable (which you will need to register the unit and download free firmware updates as well as map updates). I guess that is why it is so inexpensive (Garmin gets their money one way or another).

Technically you would need one. But once you start moving the GPS on the systems can tell your in motion and stops any video from displaying on the screen

I've been told that gps guru is going to have a working site soon. I've been waiting for 2 months, as of this time there is no support site and no way of contacting the company gps guru4 directly, as was the case when I bought my unit 3 years ago.

Yes. GPS feature is available if you want to use it and turn it off when you don't want to use it on your recordings.

No, the GPS receiver is only for logging your position. It is not a navigation system.

I dont believe I needed one. I used it on www.Geocaching.com to download coordinates for caches. You just click on "send to gps" and it will ask you what kind of gps you have and then it links to your gps and downloads the coordinates. Sorry if this doesnt help.
