[QUOTE="Cyclepath, post: 1443467, member: 78971"] harper: You do of course have to already know whether or not your current Android devices actually include the necessary on-board GPS transceiver chipset (actually known as GPS in the USA, and a good European standard created by Russia years ago known as GLONASS). Of course China is copy-catting this too, cuz they really don't want their own citizens to start actively relying upon outside technology more than they already have in the 21st century (insert eye roll here). Whenever I consider buying a next Android phone or tablet, I always check to make sure their feature / spec sheets clearly declare GPS support - not assisted GPS (which means they rely on triangulation via cell towers). If you don't see GPS or GLONASS support, you'll be constrained to relying upon cell tower triangulation. [/QUOTE]
