Is this what I need to get AT&T cell phone service inside my house? The company said to get micro cell but it didn't say anything about GPS

The GPS is built in...but...unless you put the Micro cell in a room with a window, you will need an antenna. They are also for sale on Amazon. With a few exceptions, a micro cell with external antenna will give you 5 bars in your entire house. At least that is what we get.

If you can't put the micro cell unit by a window, connect the gps antenna to it and run the antenna to the window instead.

This is a remote antenna for the Micro Cell. The Micro Cell, available at your local AT&T; store, is what will provide Cell Service inside your home or place of business...

No. It is an external GPS antenna for an AT&T; Microcell. The Microcell is what you need. It needs an antenna I order to work. I can't recall, but I think it comes with one.

NO. It's not like a cellphone or satellite radio service that requires a subscription. The Global Positioning System is a constellation of satellites put up by the US Government. Each one broadcasts a signal that can be used to triangulate your position anywhere on the Earth (with reasonable exposure and reception of the signals, meaning it won't work underground, etc). Your tax dollars already pay for the signals and research to make the antenna small enough to be practical. The wiki page for GPS give more background on it, and things like http://library.thinkquest.org/05aug/01390/animation.htm give animations explaining the basics.

If your current tracfone has SIM card, yes Nokia 808 is avoid choice to use GPS without cell service. In otherwords, to use it as gps only you don't need a Sim card or cell service. It will work as a stand alone GPS. I have no idea about pay-as-you go providers.

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.

That's a shame. I used the GPS in Atlanta this weekend (went for the SEC championship game, WAR EAGLE!!!). It worked flawlessly, even in the middle of the city. Found a Publix within 3 miles from my hotel. I love this phone.

I was told AT&T.; That's what i have on it. Its set up on a Month to Month thing. Its just a Sim Card. Word of Advice though. Find a friend of yours who has a AT&T; cell phone, and check the signal where you hunt. The Camera said I had a Great Signal in the woods, Put Rarely sent pictures. In town, it works great. I am going to order their High Gain Antenna when I have some extra Cash.

Its best to contact Verizon or which ever carrier you might use to get accurate answer. I have always the bundled services as eventhough I mostly call and text, sometimes might want to goggle something or use the gps app.

This will let you power the GPS unit, so you can then program your destinations, favorites, and home location into the device. However depending on your indoor situation you may not get a satellite signal. If you are looking to upgrade the device then you have to connect it directly to a PC to update/configure the firmware, etc.

We decided to get the one withOUT GPS and haven't missed it one time. I guess unless you're really hardcore its not needed. I would say get a GPS for tracking and a camera for pictures but don't mix the two.

You don't connect to GPS. Your antenna connects to multiple communications satellites and boosts the signal to your MicroCel. Just connect your antenna to your MicroCel and you are good to go.

yes, you will be needing a data plan to access GPS if you're not in wifi range. AT&T; has a new prepaid plan for 50US$ 2gb 4G data plans and T-Mobile's got unlimited text,talk 500mb 4G LTE plans.

It only receives GPS signal, not phone service. The GPS is so fire and police can locate your house. Does't do anything for cell phone reception

Better review the web yourself. Indications are strong that this has NO GPS and uses GSM cell tower for location, leaving a highly inaccurate response, within 5 kilometers (worthless). I have found ZERO examples of this device working with GPS.

Im pretty sure they did not include gps hardware with the device. Since android is a mobile OS, it has gps features hard coded into it, wether your hardware can utilize it or not.

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.

Yes, you will need a simcard (with a subscription or prepay). The GPS itself needs to be able to send you SMSes from this simcard.
