It does have GPS capability. I've used it in Antarctica.Can be turned on and off in settings/location services.

You don't need internet to use GPS. Just download TomTom GO for $20. That's what I'm using. It worked perfectly without internet.

GPS has an on and Off in the setting menu. I assume in the off setting it doesn't provide GPS location and update the date/time

It has a smart bay and most units have some sort of CD/DVD Unit plugged into it but no all. It may be just a read or read write unit depending on original order. No GPS capability built in, would be an add on.

go to Garmin Express and contact them. You might need to use a stylus if all else fails. You also can try rebooting but you should do this with their help. Phone is the best.

Thanks Darth. I detected the problem while trying to use GPS. GPS was not able to find my position and prompted me to go online thru Options. That is when I realized that 5800 is not able to connect to ATT Internet. I think I confused ATT Internet with MediaNet.

As Michael said, GPS is always available outside - wifi or not. I have used map software by Sygic on roadtrips on a wifi only tablet. I assume there are other similar products but have not used any other. You have to have a wifi connection to install the software and maps of course. Then, after the map is stored on your tablet, GPS navigation works fine.

Load the supplied software and "check for software updates". If there are any (they do not seem to happen very often. I have found one update in 8 months), they can be downloaded, then transferred to the GPS via the supplied GPS cable.

I am sure it is. i downloaded offline maps with the google maps app (latest version allows you to do that), and that would allow you to use navigation even without cellular service. It will only work if you have map data for the area you are in.

Thanks!!!! I recently had the same "disconnected" problem; Garmin support took me through an upgrade and I was fixed for about a week before it returned. Since I didn't have a chnce to contact them during Support hours, I went online, and your excerpt from the longer fix above worked for me, too!! Just hope it stays fixed this time.

GPS App could be loaded. Does not come with SD Card, have to remove the back to put one in. Verizon refused to install for us. Does come with HDMI connector. Works great with wifi and the jetpac we got from Verizon. Good luck.

no gps, it does have the ability to use wifi to determine your location with occasional accuracy. I sometimes use my phone as a hotspot and this works to a degree but, its nothing that could be used for navigation. at less than $300 (64gb) at Lenovo right now, its still a bargain imho.

Yes but you have to be connected to a wireless connection as it cannot be added to a wireless companys plans. It also needs restarting every few hours as it freezes. I don't think it has the specs it is advertised as having either. But it has GPS locating service so long as u have a wireless connection and it has Google maps

GPS can absolutely be used without wifi access. I used this the other day on my way to work in my car. It's great!

For some reason they made us think that our tablets didn't have a built in GPS, but now, all of the sudden it doesn't need a Bluetooth. It seems like it was partially enable, since when I accidentally my Bluetooth went off the GPS kept working. If my nexus has the potential your tablet should definetly have it too. I would try using Google maps first to give it a try or else your Bluetooth receiver might end up just as mine now: eating dust...

I don't see any reference to GPS in the instruction manual or about GEO tagging
