Is the GPS built in? You can use GPS without a data/wifi connection?

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).

Yes can simply turn on or off. I am in Bangkok and do not use. Hope this helps?

Yes, it has both Bluetooth and GPS. I have used the GPS a lot and it is very reliable. I have used the Bluetooth with my headset and it worked smoothly. I just noticed the prior answer. None of this has anything to do with Wifi which is how you connect to the internet. I have had several tablets and have never missed not having a cell connection - that is what my phone is for. Wifi is usually available when I need to use the internet. If you have the maps on the device the gps works just fine without a cell connection.

Yes you don't need GPS or WIFI turned on to use the camera. I always leave my GPS off as it can drain the battery faster. I also leave the WIFI off unless I am transferring pictures to my phone.

You don't need internet to use GPS. Just download TomTom GO for $20. That's what I'm using. It worked perfectly without internet.

I've used mine outdoor and the GPS is disabled. Still worked (I was within WiFi connectivity for cloud syncing).

No, it doesn't have a built-in Wifi. The only way to access the internet through the phone is to buy into the Data plan.

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.

Both answers are no. GPS only marks where the picture is taken and WiFi is to downloas pictures

Was not included but has ports to allow for one. You can find one that will work for pretty cheap money. Side note - I probably would not buy unit again with hindsight. GPS sw needed update out of the box and would cost additional $75. Actually use phone gps that this unit now.

No built in navigator. The GPS is for playback only. So you can plot the route and speed you had traveled. All post recording. The only information you can get on the devices is longitude and latitude points in the menu settings.

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.

Hello, good evening. Regarding the GPS signal must have wi-fi, because if not, the GPS does not work. This function without wi-fi does not work.

you don't need to have data service for gps work. this is stand alone gps, so no monthly charge for gps.

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

I am not positive, but I do believe that unless you subscribe to a data plan, the only thing you'd be able to use would be a local wi-fi, e.g. in your home or a restaurant. I have a plan for my phone, but I do have a tablet with similar hardware-- no data plan-- that will only work locally, within range of wi-fi, so is no good for gps. Also can't message, but can read emails. Also, unactivated devices, if charged, can be used to call 911 without a plan. So I hear-- never tried it.

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.
