Last week I was looking at different websites to get info on different brands of tablets.
Coulda swore i saw a tablet with a gps feature. Next day when I wanted to get more info I couldn't find it.
Was i seeing things or are there tables with built in gps?

Many of the Chinese tabs have built in GPS. Never tested it on my old Wits model though. Not sure if it'd be practical to use in a car or while hiking with most table models either.

Why do you need an offline map?
Tether your tablet to your phone.

My tablet has GPS built in, and it's amazing. 1m accuracy, locks in seconds. It absolutely blows my Vibrant completely off the table.

Of course, the Vibrant's GPS is unfixably broken anyway.
