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

Yes and no. Yes, just put batteries in it and you can track your path on the trail, right out of the box. If you are expecting trails to be already marked on the built-in map, no. For that, you'll need to download or purchase additional maps.

If it is preloaded with the maps for both us and europe, then all you have to do is touch the wrench icon, which will bring up maps; click on maps, then check the map you want to be the default or chosen one....it has been 8 years since I got ours, so you need to check to make sure the maps are preloaded....

I believe this is proprietary. From what I've experienced, it ties to the GPS software itself to supply the information. Best I can give you.

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.

Download the software from the Garmin. It should automatically see your GPS and download what you need for an update.

Patrick, Like any product you get what you pay for. I've had NO problem with this GPS, any place I needed to go it took me right to the door.Not only were the established streets there so were some of the New Developements (MD). Unfortunately I haven't had to look for maps, thats the purpose of a GPS. Just put in the address and follow, if you're looking for something specific use the apps, i.e. resturants, hospitals,schools,etc. If it doesn't do what you want you can always return it. Yes there is also an app for maps, I just don't use it. Hope this helps.

The POI Loader needs longitude and latitude data. You will need another map software that converts from a street address to longitude and latitude. Garmin MapSource works but you might have to pay.

In my experience, it sort of works as a standalone, but it uses an odd GPS format that most mapping software can't interpret. You're probably better off with a more generic unit.

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.

Load the supplied software and "check for software updates". If there are any (they do not seem to happen very often. I have found one update in 8 months), they can be downloaded, then transferred to the GPS via the supplied GPS cable.
