does this use google maps?

No it does not. And the maps that come with it cannot be used to direct you to an address like a street GPS would.

Not that I have found... It uses the pre-installed worlds maps which are similar to Google's...The best one to use is the Summit Series TOPO for your region, which you download after receiving the unit...I really like the rugged feel and accuracy with this unit... and as with most, carry extra batteries, although the life is better than some... updated fix is available for the traking in suspend mode problem, and mine tracks fine when suspended now...Hope this helps...

No, it has it's own built in maps ... which are fairly good. Nice about this is the fact that good maps are included. I bought a different brand and returned it because you had to purchase for an additional cost more detailed maps

If you have loaded maps into it - yes. If you have not loaded maps it tries then give you a message that there are no maps to give directions from. I found instructions and links to get free maps by googling dcrainmaker. He has a great web site where reviews stuff and gives directions on improvements - like maps.

Yes you can map with your finger on the display (our use your pc) anywhere in the world and it will follow the contours and show Google streets where available. Funily enough I ran through the streets of Rome yesterday and New York today.

Yes, however I would really suggest, unless you are really familiar with the area you are in, that should you go to a slightly higher model one that has map capability. This model gives you all the basic information you need, coordinates and direction etc, but has no map capabilty, which means no map is shown in the window, just your current location coordinates and a direction arrow for the direction in which you need to go to get to where you want to go, but no map to show you where you are on a map. It is your choice.

Oh dear lord people, do NOT buy this thing, it is awful. I have one, never use it. I use google maps on my iPhone and it Is so much better. I use in EU, South America, US.... Don't waste your time with any of these....

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.

No, it does not. I can't even update the maps either. I guess it's too old. I may try hooking it up to the software this weekend to give it another try. I hadn't tried for quite a few months.

No maps, although I only use mine for water navigation. Wait another few weeks, (2015) new models, hopefully better coming out.

No. You can still use google maps to find directions if your connected to the internet, but you can't get turn by turn directions. Archos has some decent tablets around the same price with GPS's

Yes, this phone has GPS capabilities, to use with social media applications, mapquest, Google maps, and comes pre-installed with AT&T; navigation.

dear Anth, I am so sorry, but i don't know. First I purchased a "map" for a Garmin, and didn't have a Garmin, so i returned it. Then I purchased a used Garmin with Europe in it, and took it to Europe May 1 to 30 2013, and used it with my google maps i paid for on my Verizon cell phone. i often used them both to find things, along with the map i got from AAA. Best of luck! Susan

Most GPS's you can select a route via you put in the city's you want to go through and that is the way the GPS takes you. Those are call waypoints along the route. But as I said before, I would not buy this GPS.

No. But you can select different maps based on location and load them from your computer.

This cable is for iPhone 4's. And there are limited 3rd party apps you can use with the pioneer app radio feature. There are other gps apps but I don't recall google maps. I used this cable with a iPhone 4s and pioneer bhs 3600.

Navigon continues to officially sell maps in Europe, but no longer officially supports North America. As a matter of fact, they ended hardware sales and support in North America years ago...friend laid off as a matter of fact. If you're tech savvy, there are unofficial, generic maps available that are supported by this unit, but you'd need to look up which file type and then download it to a flash card. I started using Google Maps on Android and traffic is only tradeoff...Google Traffic isn't quite "fully baked" yet. Stand alone GPS era has just about passed into history. :- (

No. I bought this for my mother as a present. By the time it came for her to open it, it was to late to return.the GPS doesn't work at all. Can't get a map to any where

Like any portable device, it doesn't absolutely need to be connected to the Internet to use the GPS. I'm sure that Google maps isn't the only map product for the tablet. Further, using WiFi or Bluetooth you can probably tether it to your mobile device to get access if you absolutely need it. Just assumptions on my part as I do not have first-hand knowledge of this exact device.
