Location Services is just Cell tower location it is not GPS. If you want GPS on a tablet you have to find one with an internal GPS receiver or get an external GPS receiver that connects bluetooth with your tablet. Ipad and some Android tablets have aGPS or assisted GPS which means that they have an internal antenna for GPS but use cell tower information to get a first fix so they don't spend so much time getting a fix from a good signal.
Everything I can find on the tablet you mention says NOTHING about an internal GPS antenna. If you relay want GPS in the tablet then go for the Google Nexus, Ipad, Lenovo Yoga or something similar. Those specifically mention GPS Antenna. Beyond that if you really want to keep the tablet you have then you will have to get an external antenna with Bluetooth to connect to the tablet you have.
