Does it just SMS you a GPS coordinate or is there android/IOS software that will pinpoint it with onscreen map?

It only sends SMS with a link which provides you with a map and a pinpoint on it showing you where the unit currently is. For those who need more information, you can receive a pure text message that provides you with the following: Latitude & Longitude (manually plotable via the website), speed, direction, time, and current battery level of the unit.

No. It is not a GPS device. Nor does it "reflect" map application information (but that would be nice) . It only "reflects " performance oriented data from a compatible App like: wahoo or strava; time, speed, cadence, pace, rpm, heart rate, etc.

No built-in GPS, but using the Bluetooth connection with the phone it will show the phones GPS location on a Google map one the watch screen.

as far as I know this unit does not have a GPS and the only way it would know your location is through your internet provider

As the others have said, this is just a GPS device. Via points depend on your software.

No. The garmin functions by way of satellite sending signals to you. Once you turn it on, it knows your location and sends you info. We have had our for years and it works great! Hope you enjoy your visit!

no, it just logs its position, however, when plugged on the PC, it can inform your current location.

It is just a GPS device sending out the location where it is, to any device which supports through Bluetooth connectivity. Say, you can use it instead of the GPS in your cell phone for retrieving the exact location in your map installed. Or, you can use it for some cameras with Bluetooth, while any of the photos you take in outdoor will have the location info in it.

Yes, you can use any cell phone to get the location of the tracker. You will need a smart phone to locate it on a map.

It gives Long-Lat position worldwide on land and sea but there is no hardware or software for maps. GPS location only.

Hello Manuel, No it doesnt display your gps coordinates. It shows a dish looking icon that flashes for 30 seconds or so until the watch has locked on. Side note... Once I transfer my run to Endomondo, the google map route with the streets that I ran on will be there to look at. Hoped that helped.

It does, but it is a little different from most gps sensors in that the map program has to explicitly use it. Nokia "Here Maps" uses it.

Absolutely. In fact, that is pretty much what you are paying for. You can enter coordinates in any of several different formats, and the device will lead you in a straight line to that location. But be advised, you will have to pay extra to download that pretty map they show in the picture.

I have no idea how they determine your location though it probably gps . Inany case, you cannot track someone else using one, only the company can track the user. Hope that helps

Yes. It's under Mode > GPS. It can also show you a live compass, if needed.
