Yes, I'm a little lost as well. Maybe someone can provide a comparison between what features are available when using the following type of device.
- Wifi only tablet (e.g., Wifi only Apple iPad as not gps built in).
- Wifi tablet with GPS receiver (e.g., Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4).
- Wifi tablet/phone with GPS/Cellular (e.g., iPhone, Samsung Galaxy 6, iPad w/cellular, etc).
Here are my thoughts.
1) Samsung puts GPS into some of its non 4G/LTE tablets, Apple doesn't.
2) Neither built in GPS enabled tablets nor 4G/LTE will use any of their GPS or 4G once you connect your device to the Solo wifi network.
3) Having GPS and no 4G is good for caching maps in the field ( I can only assume ).
4) Having 4G in the field will allow you send trouble tickets from the field. Once you disconnect from the Solo WiFi network.
I don't think there are any other benefits or drawbacks other than those I just mentioned.
