Thank you.
Thank you.
He want's to know about full gps support.
With full GPS support, you can be located on the earth via satellite without the need to be connected to a wifi or mobile network.
From what I have read on this site, The wifi-only Xoom is getting full gps. This doesn't mean you can go into google maps and map without a network seeing as how you need the data to download the map information. But knowing your lattitude and longitude, and tracking yourself on pre-saved maps will be possible on the Wifi-only Xoom without a network.
As of this moment, I don't think there is an app that allows you to save predetermined maps onto your system for you to use a GPS with later. But I bet they will be out soon seeing as how the xoom is the first tablet to have these functions.
Benchmarks are my main concern. I want to see which has the better over-all performance.
The Google Maps that ships with the Xoom (5.0) should support offline map caching.
