I have been looking at various internet tablets with built-in GPS, including the Galaxy Tab.
From what I have been told, it appears as if GPS isn't useful without Google Maps, or some other program, using a 3G or 4G data plan.
But maybe the information I have is wrong? Is there a way to use an Adroid tablet with GPS, but without a 3G or 4G data plan?
Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.
I would especially appreciate info on ways to do this without using several different pieces of software working together - I am hoping that some easy-to-use software already exists (free, or paid.)
Barring that, could I drive to a WiFi spot, then use GPS there to find my location, then use that to plot out a route on Google Maps (or some other program) - and then SAVE THAT INFO to my tablet, so I could drive away from the WiFi spot, and still have the map & directions?
