When you say "navigation", it has to use GPS. You may have maps and applications on your app. It may be able to show you route from one point to another point. But if it needs to "navigate" you, it HAS to have GPS. Even network triangulation cannot be used for navigation. smile.gif

navigate yourself. that's why i said 'manually'.
you dont need a GPS to help you always.
read your map. read the road signs. take a look at the landmark.
you'll find your way home.

well, it's not wrong if i want to read a map while enjoying a movie, right? or perhaps surfing the web.
get creative. the device itself is a multipurpose item. so, why not?

Logical thinking: Why would Google wanna release new version of Maps on a new tablet without GPS?

not a good idea if you're the driver... biggrin.gif

hah, last time when we read paper map, we also need a co-pilot to do so.
keep in mind, i'm writing about manual navi. not like current trend where's everything auto-like.

here's an interesting article:

the link to full article is provided above. the article is an interesting read and can logically explain why its cheap and how it will affect other Android manufacturers... i guess you can say its similar to how samsung is just flooding the market with so many variants of galaxy... in the end... it is still a samsung.

in this case for Google, in the end, its still an android device which Google can display ads...

thanks for sharing. this is indeed interesting. i always understood how ads are important to Google.
but the concept of flooding marking with the same line-up is something new to me.

just like when we meet with some other guy who bought a new smartphone, and a guy next to him ask, "galaxy S3 ah?", even though the phone a HTC.
