Is the GPS feature usable to look up directions and maps? also is the wifi usable for general internet usage?

The WiFi can only download pictures to the tablet or phone via app. and one by one! not as a batch...!Poor thinking.

No, and No! The GPS feature here embeds location info into the image data, and will also let you know about places in the area, but will not give you directions. The WiFi is used to transfer photos off of the camera and onto your smart phone, or your home computer.

Keep in mind, that using the GPS drains the battery really fast...!another issue - the position embedded in the picture, is totally error!!! it gives position with 90'' !!! (should be 1'30'')'

Both answers are no. GPS only marks where the picture is taken and WiFi is to downloas pictures

Unless you have a defective unit your GPS will work just fine without wifi - but your mapping apps like Google Maps and Earth will not. You need an offline mapping app, and you need to download the maps to the device (either the internal storage or the microSD card). I use Mapdroyd for mine, and it works great, but there are many offline mapping apps out there. Also, make sure that your GPS is enabled. Go to Settings &gt; Location Access and turn the GPS satellites function on. I would also recommend downloading the GPS Status & Tools app to manage your GPS. It's free.

GPS App could be loaded. Does not come with SD Card, have to remove the back to put one in. Verizon refused to install for us. Does come with HDMI connector. Works great with wifi and the jetpac we got from Verizon. Good luck.

It needs Internet connection for Updates. It uses G.P.S. [Satellite] for navigation

The GPS works as long as you download your trip information & route BEFORE leaving your WiFi connection. I just used it today doing it this way.

GPS does not require WiFi to work, it in it self is a stand alone tech. Some apps that use GPS also use internet, like Google maps. With Google maps, you can download sections of maps for later off line use or tether the note to a connected device like your phone. You can also use other nav apps that use stored maps rather then web based maps like Google maps.

I wouldn't say it's great but it's not bad. The GPS is usable but I wouldn't buy it just for that. The detector is great and the GPS is a nice added feature. Hope that helps!

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.

Hi Michelle, I bough the GPS and it's been working very good for me, I know that does it have live traffic but you need to buy an antenna and I know you got have it connected in to the internet (Wi-Fi) otherwise won't work, I don't use that so that's why I can't tell you more about it, but it's a good Truck GPS.

Anyone who has purchased this: Can you please tell me how the software is? Does it glitch? Is it slow or fast? How does the navigation work? Is it completely different then Google Maps?

Yes, it has the usually array of android gps services, including google maps. However, the connectivity that is available stock is through wifi. I guess there is an additional unit you can buy that makes it 3g or 4g capable.

It does have google maps navigation and AT&T; navigator GPS I don't really use these as I'm using my phone in the caribbean and have no need for it here.Sorry I could not help enough.

Yes, gives you both.. GPS is actually quite good, didn't expect that. But I guess finding updated maps is not easy? If I ever run into anything that won't navigate then I just go to my Galaxy S4 with Waze or whatever... It works almost all the time for me. It's a very nice unit for the price.. I was a little skeptical on a PA system like this but the sound is very good, bluetooth works flawless (phone and streaming Pandora, Slacker, music player, etc), playing movies (AVI mostly).. Video quality is excellent. Most pro installers will charge you a lot to put this in because they are not use to it, plain and simple. It's not hard at all but I would recommend installing yourself. I had to cut a slightly larger hole where my old Pioneer Avic-1 was installed.

I've never owned a GPS before. Is this a good one? Is it better to buy one with lifetime traffic updates included?

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.
