Can anyone recommend a good Android tablet under $500 that has a GPS receiver in it

Can anyone recommend a good Android tablet under $500 that has a GPS receiver in it. I'm not wanting a data plan. I have used the SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 in the past. We use them in the filed to collect GPS data on equipment. Would not mind a Windows tablet but most do not have a GPS receiver.

I like my Nexus 7 a LOT.  Just Wifi and has GPS.  CoPiolt allows me to use it as a in car nav with downloaded maps.

 

I had written a quick down and dirty app in MIT's AppInventor for marking waypoints (but just waypoints, you'd have yto make a KML file to import it, but thats not a big deal)

What about an iPad mini

[G+_Brett Olson]

Will the iPad mini 4 have gps or do I have to get the WiFi/Cell and not active the cell data

[G+_Justin Levy (Just Socia]

You can just buy a old iPad mini

And you don't need cellular just wifi version

I will look at the Mini and the Nexus 7. Thanks Guys!

Is that a Landis+Gyr RF Mesh router? I believe it is the same kind we use at my company for AMI.

[G+_Brett Olson]

Yes Sir! We have around 200 of them up with about 5 Collectors so far. We have them in rural Nebraska and are working 100%

Justin Levy? I have a 64GB iPad mini (WiFi) and it does not have built in GPS. I now use a Galaxy Tab S2.

Brett Olson - I work at Dawson Public Power District. I just looked at your profile. Looks like we are pretty much neighbors! We have that same system installed here and have had really good luck with it.

Cole Brodine Its good to see a fellow Nebraskan TWiT fan! And work in the same industry! Say hello to Ben for me!

[G+_Cole Brodine]

Will do! He has his office right next to mine! Pretty cool running into somebody so close by in this community!

You can get a cheap ($20-50) phone from Walmart or Target and just use wifi to install your apps. The idea of geotaged photos wouldn't be terrible, but if you want lat/lon info there are apps for that too. "GPS Status and Toolbox" is amazing! It will give you latitude and longitude; but also altitude, satellite fixes, and error range.

Woot just had HP 10" tablets with a GPS on sale for $59 that retailed for $249, you could watch for them since they have had some several times now.   If you want data too Frys has Trio AXS 4G 8" tablets with a GPS and free data from T-Mobile for $60.  They are both very good quad core models but the Trio screen is not quite as bright so it's a bit harder to see in bright sunlight.
