 Naturally you will need to be connected to the internet in order to use the GPS. The first thing you will need to do is connect to a wifi network. There are many free wifi networks available in most cities. Once connected to a wifi network you can download the Android app called “Google Play Services” which will allow you to use the GPS on your tablet. 

In addition to the tablets I mentioned earlier, the Samsung Galaxy Tab a is one of the few Android tablets that have a built-in GPS receiver. To enable GPS on your tablet, go to Settings and then Location. In the Location section, you will see a GPS toggle switch. Turn this switch on and your tablet will begin searching for GPS satellites. You may have to wait for a few seconds before the first signal is received.

If you want to know the exact location of your Samsung Galaxy Tab a, you can use your cell phone to enable the GPS. This is a good way to use the GPS if you have a cell phone that supports GPS.
