Built-in GPS navigation and Maps apps work well. Nav is based on Google Maps service and has never steered me wrong. It generally finds its position quickly and reliably, even inside a car.

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.

OK, let me answer my own question. Yes, it works. I'm actually surprised how well the GPS radio works on this phone, I can get a fair lock indoors, which a dedicated Garmin can't pull off. This is without a carrier data plan, that is aGPS minus the "a". Copilot worked fine for the easy drive I gave it so far. The hardware is willing, you'll have to check elsewhere to find out if Copilot is good enough for you.Edit: The phone doesn't do any good when the battery is dead. I'm finally finding that, with everything but the GSM radio off, this thing is lucky to give 20 hours of standby time. So, on second thought, it's completely useless.

It does have GPS capability. I've used it in Antarctica. Can be turned on and off in settings/location services.

SX700 does not have GPS, it has WiFi and NFC instead. I guess the designers' idea was - if you can easily connect to your smartphone via the NFC then it would be better to use the more sophisticated GPS from your smartphone.

It does have google maps navigation and AT&T; navigator GPS I don't really use these as I'm using my phone in the caribbean and have no need for it here.Sorry I could not help enough.

I was going to buy this camera mainly because of GPS feature. Any update on GPS signal?

The phone might come with GPS set to use A-GPS which requires the data plan. You might try going into the phone's settings and setting it to use the internal GPS only.

I used a Samsung SGH-A437. It took me 2 days trying to synch the phone with Nuvi and just now it finally paired. I realised both the phone and the unit would be paired faster if they are fully charged or both connected to AC charger! Then I found out "No data available. note: not all phones support this feature." Now I don't know if I should return it!! I bought the GPS for bluetooth usage!!!!

Not sure what you mean. The GPS works outside. Inside you don't get good reception.

I have a couple of navigation Apps downloaded for free from the Google Play Store. They work well and I also have a great App "Map My Run" from there that uses the Built in GPS. Yow can turn the GPS on and off easily through one of the main screens. This is the most versitle phone I have ever owned and am very happy with it! but you may want to get the extra battery with wall charger if you are going to be using apps a lot!

It will always require GPS signal, or it won't work. Period. Mine lasted 3 hours. Took it to Verizon and tried another GPS part, and it did not work. Mine was a faulty part. Good luck!

Yes, I have downloaded google skymap, a compass and speedometer (gps required apps). I couldn't find the info on Asus.com but Phonearena.com has it listed as having GPS.

It doesn't have GPS. You can't view the GPS via Bluetooth but you can hear the audio from your phone when using the navigation.

I wouldn't say it's great but it's not bad. The GPS is usable but I wouldn't buy it just for that. The detector is great and the GPS is a nice added feature. Hope that helps!
