   Just to confirm, the tablet is the cheapest recent Apple 9.7-inch 128GB   
   WiFi-only tablet, which I bought three of at Costco, where I gave two away   
   as gifts, and kept one to learn more about it and to help the others use   
   it. https://cubeupload.com/im/wnaHgc.gif   
      
   Currently I have only loaded the following freeware map apps for off trail   
   and on-road tracking and routing.   
   https://cubeupload.com/im/QLTUDM.gif   
      
   At that cheap price of only $300, the tablet doesn't have cellular or GPS   
   capabilities, so I had assumed that the tablet couldn't do map routing on   
   the road, but it turns out that it can do map routing on the road even   
   without GPS or cellular signal.

   So I'm just asking a simple technical question of /how/ it does that.

   Sometimes, it gives me the following error:   
   https://cubeupload.com/im/8urJSE.gif   
      
   At other times, it does only a preview but not an active route:

   And yet, it routes at other times.   
      
   So I'm just asking someone to explain how that happens, where all the   
   childish silly semantic games should be left for the Apple children to   
   play.
