Here's as much of a background as I can offer:

I'm an elderly retiree, budget constrained, and not so tech savvy. My cell phone is a prepaid deal that runs $8/mo. tops. That's gotta stay the same.

I'd like to be able to track my rides via GPS, and thought that a small GPS tablet (WIFI only) loaded with the correct apps would be able to do so. Is that indeed the case? Is the GPS receiver independent of the WIFI access? If that were the case, the app should record positions, no?

This seems all possible from a $75 device, that also would give me free web access at WIFI hotspots, and serve as a back-up to the laptop at home.

Am I guessing and dreaming of the future, or is this possible with a 7" GPS equipped tablet running Android 4.4 Kitkat? Thanks for your thoughts.
