You must connect the GPS unit to you PC & download the latest update & maps before using the unit. Otherwise, you will get annoying pop-up "Tom Tom commercials" Also register your unit.

make sure your wifi is turned on and your in wifi range. There is a widget you can drag and drop on to one of your app screens that will alow you to turn on and off wifi as well as screen brightness ant GPS ( I dont think this unit has a GPS chip) Go to system settings, then wireless and net working.There make sure wifi is turned on. You should see a list of all the wifi in you area. hope this helps

It is simply a gps receiver. It needs to be connected to another device to provide mapping, route, speed readouts, etc.

Hi Janita, no, you need wifi to build gps, otherwise, how can you downloaded it?? You can try to downloaded from the computer bud need a lot of memory, I don't know how many GBs your tablet has.

this phone uses Wi-Fi so you can connect to any open network without paying for data plan. If you would like to use maps and GPS on a rode you would have to sign up for a data plan with your internet provider

I think you have to plug in to a compatible GPS device. This info is available in your owner's manual.

GPS is awesome. Load map or distanation by WiFi then access navigator, google map or whichever you use to access and GPS is ready to go

For sure it works without internet or mobile connection. The BadElf receiver tracks both GPS and GLONASS satellites. I don't know enough about GLONASS (Russian satellites) and GPS (US satellite) coverages to answer about the Middle East. I did a quick Google search for GPS and there is a site called GPS.gov that has coverage maps for you to review. That might help. Also keep in mind, you will want to download whatever base maps you will be using for navigation to your iPhone or iPad when you are in a place that has wireless connectivity.

This provides GPS coordinates only. For traffic, you need internet access. I run mine with an iPad mini WiFi only. The Bad Elf provides the GPS data. I get internet via a pay-as-you-go WiFi hotspot, Internet-To-Go from Walmart. The two work together fine with my iPad mini. It works for Apple maps and Google maps.

You don't connect to GPS. Your antenna connects to multiple communications satellites and boosts the signal to your MicroCel. Just connect your antenna to your MicroCel and you are good to go.

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.

The unit goes thru a boot-up process, which can take several minutes. During that procedure it must connect to the internet AND acquire the GPS satellite thru an antenna that is typically stuck to the inside glass of a window. The GPS antenna has a generously long cord. The GPS is required so that any 911 calls can give your location to enhanced 911 (E911) response centers if you ever have to dial 911. The unit IS dead to all calls without the GPS because it will not boot up.

It will work but I will say this though you will not be able to hook up the gps due to the external GPS system is discontinued

It sounds like you are looking for something to download maps to a car or maritime GPS. I am unsure, but I doubt it unless you have no wired option for connection. I use mine to connect to my forerunner GPS watch.

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
