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.

I would suggest that you contact Garmin technical support and ask that same question to be sure your unit will support it - I have an older model Garmin nuvi and the last update I downloaded required me to put a memory card in to hold the amount of data - it was cheap enough - but something to consider is whether your unit will support current and future map updates & downloads - if your unit will support this lifetime maps update, go for it - great deal

hi Bharatappreciate if you can please share how did you work it out! I am also facing the sismilar issue. I have used it & it worked but took a long long time (almost 15-20 mins) to get the GPS signals. Even after that it signals were showing half on its scale.

The only think I see missing on your post is making sure the "Mock GPS Provider" option is enabled on the Bluetooth GPS APP. If the Bluetooth GPS app is not running and the setting is not enabled, Google maps won't pick the GPS data.

No. I bought this for my mother as a present. By the time it came for her to open it, it was to late to return.the GPS doesn't work at all. Can't get a map to any where

I just checked to see if a gps would work. If you have a smaller gps yes it should work.

It will work but I will say this though you will not be able to hook up the gps due to the external GPS system is discontinued

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 > 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.

As Richard responded, you do need to get the micro SD card and then you can load maps. I had found free topos to load from online, but I can't remember the site for right now. They worked perfect however.

By now, you have probably talked to Garmin. But in case you haven't, the answer is (or at least "should be") yes. Download Garmin's Webupdater and plug your unit into the computer. As well as the map update, you will also get any firmware updates that might have been released since you bought the unit.

Yes. If you purchase Streets and Trips with the GPS after you load the software for just mapping and information you can plug the GPS receiver into any USB Port and use it as a GPS. (Of course you don't need to be online to use the GPS receiver with the software.)I have tried it and it works as well as my Intellinav2 GPS and is a lot more detailed.

It is connected to the internet via wifi. I thought when I tap on 'My position' it should download the required map data automatically using the internet. But it stays still and always shows Germany. I'm tired of trying. I decided to return it.

Hi. Just some tips for verification:1) Uninstall / Reinstall driver and software2) Try connecting GPS unit to another USB port. Connect it only after reinstalling driver/software and reboot the PC.3) If problem persists, try the whole process in another PC.It is required further info for better response,Regards,Juan Manuel.

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.
