Hey everyone, is it possible to use google docs on this without wifi?

Yes! They recently added the ability to save Google Docs locally to the device, in an "Offline" folder. The next time you connect to the internet it will upload all the files to your Google Drive.

Yes, however you have to download a desktop version from the Chrome store. When you are not connected to wifi, some of the capabilities are limited, but you can still use and save your documents until you are reconnected

Yes! You can use Google docs, gmail, google keep and much more without internet!

You need the internet to fetch the files needed to run the tablet, you only will need internet while installing or updating drivers, which is not often. You can use the tablet after installing without internet ^^

I agree with JohnG No,but you can download apps for any office docs using Google Drive Viewer. Hope this helps you Amy- GeoD

Nope, word works offline. But for any onedrive features yes, you will need internet access.

GPS does not require WiFi to work, it in it self is a stand alone tech. Some apps that use GPS also use internet, like Google maps. With Google maps, you can download sections of maps for later off line use or tether the note to a connected device like your phone. You can also use other nav apps that use stored maps rather then web based maps like Google maps.

Hi. There are apps on the google play store that can work with Office documents, but it is an Android device, not Windows, you may be better off looking for a Windows-based device.

Anything that can access the chrome browser has access to document editing and such threw google docs. Google drive also stores them in cloud too so no need to worry about storage space.

None that I have found so far - I think the absence of wifi makes it unlikely that you are going to be able to find a way to do that, and unlikely that there will be a retro-fit that will allow it. Sorry.

A very interesting question..I just tried it and the answer is YES. This item will scan and print without a computer hookup.

Unless you have a defective unit your GPS will work just fine without wifi - but your mapping apps like Google Maps and Earth will not. You need an offline mapping app, and you need to download the maps to the device (either the internal storage or the microSD card). I use Mapdroyd for mine, and it works great, but there are many offline mapping apps out there. Also, make sure that your GPS is enabled. Go to Settings &gt; Location Access and turn the GPS satellites function on. I would also recommend downloading the GPS Status & Tools app to manage your GPS. It's free.

You're able to view Google documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and drawings even when you don't have an Internet connection. You're also able to edit Google documents, presentations, and drawings offline. But you may need internet access to setup the offline feature.

Good idea. I think you'll be fine without Internet, because through the app you program the device - not an app speaking to the device. If you create rules with IFTTT, rather than the belkin app, you will need an internet connection.

It has GPS and Wi-Fi on it. So it is possible to use it without Wi-Fi connection.

Does not need internet to work. Would probably need internet to update maps.

You can use Google Docs/drive and Quickoffice. You can also use the web versions of word. So you can't exactly install Microsoft word like on windows but you can use similar programs or the web version of word. I use Google docs even on my desktop, it sync accross all my devices...So I see no need to use word anymore.

I had the 10" Lenovo Yoda with GPS, no wifi needed but I did download AndroiTS GPS from the Android store to capture waypoints, I could then export the data into a file and load it into Google Maps, or use the app OsmAnd for mapping. Worked well in Russia.

I use mine with an app but for Excel, I do believe there should be a way to connect without a third party program. I'll have to look through my paperwork I got with my scanner. I know you can go to socket mobile and they have downloads for these types of things so you might want to look there too.
