meowc4tz 3rd Gear January 19, 2018 Share January 19, 2018 GPS uses GPS signal from satallite. Internet just improves the accuracy by cross referring with fixed WIFI or Bluetooth points. You can try Lazada to find GPS navigation devices. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kklee 6th Gear January 19, 2018 Share January 19, 2018 Standalone GPS device usually have maps already download thus do not require internet connection. Updating is manual. GPS on smart phones depends on the apps/software. They can either be fully online, downloaded or hybrid where the main map is online but one can download sections for offline use.

flashbang Turbocharged January 20, 2018 Share January 20, 2018 Bro, GPS does not require internet to function. You only need a receiver. However we are all used to A-GPS which is called Assisted GPS, this uses internet to locate the GPS satellites quicker so you get a faster response. Else, it can take a few minutes for the GPS system to lock on, or could even fail due to the build up nature of SG which blocks the LoS to the satellites. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer is no, you don't need internet for GPS. But the device need to have the map already loaded in offline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me understand your question. You want install GPS in your car so that you can know where the car is at at any point of time? Meaning if parked in Malaysia and car stolen, you still can track where the car is based on GPS data correct? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DACH Supersonic January 21, 2018 Share January 21, 2018 Obtained from wikipedia. "The GPS does not require the user to transmit any data, and it operates independently of any telephonic or internet reception, though these technologies can enhance the usefulness of the GPS positioning information. The GPS provides critical positioning capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users around the world. The United States government created the system, maintains it, and makes it freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCTP 6th Gear January 21, 2018 Share January 21, 2018 But Android Auto app is still not available on phones yet. Downloaded via 3rd party app but cannot work. Give up already. May I know which phone model are you using?cos I went through 3 phones (LG, Motorola and Huawei). All three downloaded android auto apk online and sideloaded. All three worked. Really enjoying Waze and Google maps. So much better than those gps systems pre installed in cars. Maybe I can help you with this? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
