I had the 10" Lenovo Yoda with GPS, no wifi needed but I did download AndroiTS GPS from the Android store to capture waypoints, I could then export the data into a file and load it into Google Maps, or use the app OsmAnd for mapping. Worked well in Russia.

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.

If you have the S&T; with GPS, yes you can use it as a GPS to navigate. I have them used all over the states for years. I bought my first in 2006 and have updated several times. I like better than the built in one in my car. I use it even when I use the one in the car. You don't have to be connected to the Internet or wifi.

I am not sure about it coming with GPS. However, it is an ANDROID tablet, so surely you could download a GPS app from the Google App Store. Now, to get that GPS to work in real time , you would need some kind of internet wireless card , or something, because otherwise you wouldn't have internet connection. It has to have a WIFI connection, unlike your phone that would work on AT&T;, Verizon, etc., towers. The table doesn't work that way. Hope this helps you.

pretty sure u need an internet connection to download the maps, since they arent preloaded. but after they are, gps should work offline

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

Philip, I just experimented with it and it appears to have a stand alone GPS. What I did was kill the Google Maps app and turned off the wifi connection. Then I started the Google Maps app and had it "find me". It pinpointed my location without any network connectivity, leading me to believe it has a separate GPS part. Hope this helps.

It has GPS capability, but you need to buy an add on device. I don't have one, so not sure what it costs

Siri says it does have built in GPS when it is connected to cellular. We currently only use the iPad with WIFI. Our cellular carrier doesn't service Apple products--go figure.

No. GPS works without the network service. However, it does require the network in order to download the map you need. Then, you will be able to head to the road and the GPS will work properly.

No, but it has built-in wi-fi, and a way of logging your location through your phone's GPS if you are connected to your phone via the wi-fi app.

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.

No. It's wifi capable though. However I do not recommend this GPS for many reasons. I wouldn't pay more than $200 for it if you could find one that cheap. I have this product and I am very disappointed. Good luck.

I believe if you have an IPAD2 with AT&T; or Verizon 4G service, it may have GPS. I do know that if it is WIFI only, it will definitely will not have GPS. Go to settings and see if GPS is listed.

No, the watch connects to GPS independently. However, you will need to give it some time to connect once you are outside and have a clear view of the sky.

You don't need any data plan or internet connection to use its GPS function. I have one and I used it without any extra service or plan and as a side note the graphics are very good and it works flawlessly.

Yes, the tab is equipped with GPS, but If you want to use it for orientation you will need a data or wifi connection (you can choose in the settings what to use).

No it does not have GPS. If you have Gps on a cell it will only play the audio.
