I can only attest to iPads who don't.              I understand that there are brands of tablets, but we're all talking about       the Google Map app, and "a" tablet that doesn't have cellular or GPS but       that does have GPS.              The question remains which of the two methods the Google Maps app is using       for the location services.              1. Is Google using the geolocation of the *connected* WiFi access point?       2. Or is Google using the geolocation of the *unconnected* Wi-Fi APs?              NOTE: When you're on the road, you won't be connected to anything but       wide-open access points, so that's why the answer to the question matters.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
