Would this GPS enable an Android Tablet?

I do not believe it will work with a tablet. You might check their tech support.

Your specific tablet would have to support USB OTG and would need a USB driver for this device. It's unlikely you have the latter. Generally, because of the ROM space constraints of embedded systems (which would include tablets), only that set of drivers which is required for the system's hardware is included, and nothing else. So short answer, if your tablet was never intended to support a specific USB device, it's not going to work. Apparently, it shows up to the system as a USB attached serial port (e.g., like a USB dialup modem would). I don't know of any tablets with that sort of support.

I don't think so, you must download the drivers from CD and have a USB port.

This device is for computers running Windows. I do not believe you can connect to an android phone or tablet

Im pretty sure they did not include gps hardware with the device. Since android is a mobile OS, it has gps features hard coded into it, wether your hardware can utilize it or not.

I'm not sure, I have a Android Tablet. I would think if it had a USB port that it might, because that is all I needed to do, just plug it in and it worked awesome.

Yes, you can. I have used it with multiple Android phones and tablets. You need to do two things. One is to set the device to Allow Mock Locations under Development or Developer options. The location of this setting has moved around a bit over different versions of Android. Under 4.3 Developer options are now hid. You have to go into About Device and tap on Build Number seven times to unhide the developer options, believe it or not. Second you need to download an app to connect the external GPS to the mock location. Go to the Google Play Store and search for Bluetooth GPS. I use the app done by GG MobLab. One word of warning is that not all apps that use the GPS will be able to use the external receiver. All the apps I use regularly for geocaching and mapping do work but every once in awhile I find an app that I am testing that does not work.

You can set it to do lap alerts. It also has a virtual partner. The down fall is Garmin hasn't made it compatible with tablets yet. So you can not use the Garmin connect feature

Yes, this unit doesn't have a GPS installed. So, it will require an add-on. Yes, to my knowledge it will work fine with any Android device. You could always contact Kenwood with your specific application to make sure everything will work perfectly. Jason

Not compatible with my Android Samsung tablet, nor my Android phone. That was frustrating... hopefully, they'll make new drivers..

I don't believe Android tablets have actual usb ports, you would have to get an adapter for the 30 pin connecting it has. After that I'm not sure that there would be drivers you could download to make it work. Unfortunately I don't have an android tablet to test for sure though, just a phone with a micro usb port.

It will work with Android devices if you get a third party app from Google's Play Store. Search for bluetooth GPS apps.

Garry, I did not attempt to record my trips, but I doubt it does that. I could be wrong about that, but I am sure that it will work with your Samsung tablet. It has an iOS app called "Dual GPS", but it is optional and not necessary to use the GPS device. All you do is pair the GPS receiver with your tablet by Bluetooth and it just works. As for maps, you can do one of two things that I have done: if you can download maps of the areas where you will be, such as Navigon maps or MS Streets, it will work with them, or you can pull up Google Maps while you have WiFi and the maps will stay on your screen until you move out of the area covered by the map. In rural areas, having your map downloaded is preferable. We were in Israel, so having local maps was tricky, but we were able to find maps. There is widespread WiFi, so we used Google Maps some of the time. We found both worked very well for us and we never got lost. There is another app that records trips called "Map My Tracks" that is available for iOS and Android that does do that very well.

It will connect to Android, but to use it the "allow mock locations" setting must be on, which invalidates most gps-based apps. Ensure that the app you want to use allows mock locations.

If your tablet is bluetooth capable then this will work. This connects straight to the device without the need of a usb port as long as the device is bluetooth enabled.

Hi, Yes you can use it on an Android tablet. I use it on a nexus 7 and it works fine.
