   Once you have GPS, or if you have cellular, which I have for free for life   
   on all my other tablets, then everything is easy.   
      
   The hard part is to track and route without GPS and without cellular.   
      
   Hence, 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.
