- GPS: We love Google Maps. A new feature of Google Maps is it lets you
store maps to use offline when a Wi-Fi connection is not available. That
means you can use the Nexus 7 with GPS for navigation for map areas you've
stored without a wireless connection to a network!
IF you have a cell phone with a 3G or 4G data plan, then use it as a
wifi hot spot to connect these devices and save on monthly fees. |
