Does this have stand alone GPS?

Philip, I just experimented with it and it appears to have a stand alone GPS. What I did was kill the Google Maps app and turned off the wifi connection. Then I started the Google Maps app and had it "find me". It pinpointed my location without any network connectivity, leading me to believe it has a separate GPS part. Hope this helps.

Yes. It has an external GPS puck on several yards of cable that, I'm told, must be plugged in. I haven't used it yet. My son just gave me one he had been given by his previous employer.

No. It's wifi capable though. However I do not recommend this GPS for many reasons. I wouldn't pay more than $200 for it if you could find one that cheap. I have this product and I am very disappointed. Good luck.

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

Yes. There is a basic base map in your GPS which will show you where you are.

Hello there, I am not the seller, I am one buyer and answering your question, yes it does have a GPS and it works fine. I can tell you the phone is very slow, so if you have chance to check other options with better processor, please do it and go for it, it takes really time to move from one menu to other, please consider it. Have a great one

GPS is separate. It has an internal antenna. Call support if you do not get it resolved. I love mine.

In my experience, it sort of works as a standalone, but it uses an odd GPS format that most mapping software can't interpret. You're probably better off with a more generic unit.

It does indeed have built in GPS. If heart rate monitoring is important to you you'll have to buy a separate cheststrap and link them but this unit has everything you need for a basic running GPS watch.

No, and there are plenty of other reasons not to purchase this unit. In the six months I've had mine, I've had to reset it back to factory defaults three times to restore connectivity to the GPS antenna.

No, it does not. It is also very slow in acquiring its gps position. I would recommend this gps to anyone. I am very disappointed in its performance and I am currently looking for a replacement.

Yes. It comes with a map function that is the same as GPS, and you can also get several free GPS apps.

No, it does not. Alternatives are pseudo-GPS memory cards (like Eye-Fi Pro) or separate GPS trackers or smartphone apps.

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.

The one sold by Amazon does. The one sold by GPStock does not. Read my review it explains everything in detail.
