If I add a USB GPS dongle to a Microsoft surface tablet, can googlemaps then use my location and do car navigation for me?<|im_end|>

Yes, you can use a USB GPS dongle to provide your location information to Google Maps on a Microsoft Surface tablet. Once the dongle is connected and recognized by the tablet, you can use the Google Maps app to navigate in your car by providing turn-by-turn directions. Please note that you'll need an internet connection for Google Maps to work, as the app requires access to maps and traffic information. Additionally, while Google Maps can use your GPS location to provide navigation, a dedicated GPS device may provide a more accurate and reliable signal compared to a tablet or smartphone.<|im_end|>

In this scenario, is it preferable to access Google Maps on an browser or on an app from Microsoft Store?<|im_end|>

Both accessing Google Maps through a web browser and using the Google Maps app from the Microsoft Store can provide navigation functionality on your Microsoft Surface tablet. However, using the app may provide a better experience as it is optimized for touch input and can offer additional features such as real-time traffic updates and voice-guided navigation. Additionally, using the app may also work better in areas with limited internet connectivity, as it can cache map data for offline use. Ultimately, the choice between using the app or the web browser comes down to personal preference and the specific features that you require.<|im_end|>

What should I look for in a GPS dongle?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
When looking for a GPS dongle, here are some things to consider:

GPS chipset: Look for a dongle with a high-quality GPS chipset, as this will impact the accuracy and speed of your location data.

Connection type: Determine the type of connection your device supports, such as USB or Bluetooth, and select a dongle that is compatible with that connection type.

Antenna quality: A high-quality antenna will improve the signal strength and accuracy of your location data. Look for a dongle with an external antenna, or one that has a built-in high-performance antenna.

Power consumption: If you plan to use the GPS dongle with a mobile device, consider the power consumption of the dongle to ensure it doesn't drain the battery of your device too quickly.

Software compatibility: Check that the dongle is compatible with the software you plan to use it with, such as navigation apps or mapping software.

Price: Compare the price of different GPS dongles and choose one that fits your budget, while still meeting your requirements for quality and features.<|im_end|>
