The representative for Insignia is wrong. You CAN use GPS offline, But there is a catch. You must use an offline map. Google Maps will allow you to download maps up to a certain size. I used Hear Maps from the Google play the entire U.S.A. download was 5GB. It works fine but a 10 inch tablet in window is too big for me. I tried to set it on the seat but GPS reception was poor.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unfortunately no, this tablet will not be able to use the GPS functions without an internet connection of some sort.
