Only some tablets have cellular network capability, and if they do not, then they are not likely to have GPS built in either. I bought a 10 inch Samsung Tab 2 that has LTE capability, and it does work as a chart plotter, but only as good as the software down loaded. Hard to find cables for the Tab 2 by the way. The 30 pin connector is not the same as on the I-phone-pad stuff.
I was disappointed that a tablet with LTE connectivity could not be used as a cell phone. That decision by the manufacturers is marketing, and not technical. Yeah I know there is Skype etc., but it would be handy to make regular phone calls with a headset and a large screen.

This was not being sold through a Cell company. I could not find any GPS in the settings.
