GPS? Multi-touch? Does it have a builtin GPS? Is it multi-touch?When is it expected to ship?Why is this info not on the specs page?

Leo,How is it that you know it is multi-touch? I read the companies technical specs (in the downloadable PDF) andno where does it state or use the phrase "Multi-touch"

Simple, it isn't multi-touch and thus, useless to me.I will be waiting and paying more for the stronger product: HP Slate

The question I have aside from the issue of multi-touch is this, why doesn't the manufacturer and the elocity web site state"multi-touch" or show that function being demonstrated in a video? Surely they understand and can appreciate the value thatfunction has for a great many potential buyers. The fact they choose not to use that verbiage signals to me that it isn't truemulti-touch.

Product is Captive Touch Technology which means the screen is sensitive to touch for application execution. The screen is also mutli touch meaning the application icons can be manipulated or moved to other areas of the desktop and in some applications the image on the screen can be expanded and retracted with the use of your index finger and thumb, like photos, some web pages..etc.There is no GPS functionality built in the Elocity A7. Not sure if there are usb, bluetooth or micro SD peripherals developed for Android 2.2 that will function with the unit.The product shipment date has not been finalized but is planned be posted later this month.

Ok, so which one is it? The as30 does not have GPS while the as30v does. This is a really poor description of the product by Beach Camera. By thier description, you could be getting any type of as30 and have no clue about what exact product will come to your door. I just ordered one and if I get anything less than an as30v, I will file a complaint with Amazon and it will be going right back to the seller. I will try and update my findings on delivery and possible return of this product.Update 5/2/2014: The product was delivered with great speed and it was indeed the HDR-AS30V as "advertised". Thank you Beach Camera. Ok, so which one is it? The as30 does not have GPS while the as30v does. This is a really poor description of the product by Beach Camera.

Technically yes, but it is the worst product I have ever bought. It is a touch screen, however, the screen is not responsive....hit a button about 20 times and it will finally respond. It also will shut off randomly and erase all of your settings you spent hours trying to put in. You cannot have the music playing while the GPS is on so if you are driving some where and need directions- plan on driving in silence, it cannot perform more than one function at a time. Had to pay to install it then pay again to take it back out. The customer service for the company was awful and took months to arrive, I definitely wouldn't recommend it.

Magellan Maestro 4250 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished) My comments are covered in those posted. Selling a GPS with outdate maps is unacceptable. Also, I don't find it intutive at all. I need to carry a copy of the manual with me to get it to do what i want. My TOMTOM program running on my palm was far better but they quit supporting map upgrades so I purchased the Maestro. I don't recommend it.

GPS is separate. It has an internal antenna. Call support if you do not get it resolved. I love mine.

Hello,we'd like to inform you that the GPS is pre-installed US Maps well as it's sold on Amazon.com. If you need the 3 countries maps,we will send you the links and tell you how to install them well when you get the GPS,thanks for your attention.

When it came to the GPS function, I didnt really find it helpful. The map on the camera does not show you pin point where you are. Its just a map unless I did it wrong. It does come with a disk to download but I didnt do that either. I think it supposed to GPS tag your photo but I didnt see that either so I just treat it as a camera without GPS.

no gps, it does have the ability to use wifi to determine your location with occasional accuracy. I sometimes use my phone as a hotspot and this works to a degree but, its nothing that could be used for navigation. at less than $300 (64gb) at Lenovo right now, its still a bargain imho.

Sorry this tablet has no GPS Module built in and there is no GPS app for the time being.

Thanks..thats what I figured. I'd really like to get this...but want GPS so I guess im gonna have to wait!..Cmon' Asus!!

I'm assuming the low price does not come with the GPS itself. I purchased the GPS desperately, so I didn't not see multiple prices.

I just got my phone, I was curious to see the offline gps but so far I couldn't get it to work. It always shows Germany. It wouldn't locate the current position. I tried it in open Air facing the sky.Another annoyance, or may be there is a setting or something, the keyboard works like regular old cell phones. For example to type 'C' I need to tap on the key 3 times. To type number it's 4 taps. That is completely not acceptable in a smartphone.Will do more research before deciding to return it back.

I have used a number of gps devices and this one is totally and utterly worthless. I was looking for a small and light device but never did find one that worked. I still use a Garmen etrex that is 10 years old. If you find something, please let me know.

While mine is current, only a month old, there are two ways to upgrade maps and firmware... there is an sd card slot and a usb slot. I think the correct process for updating maps and firmware is to use the sd card slot though. Hope that helps.. I like the unit and the gps is pretty good.
