My wife and I are RVing right now and we have been in Gulf Shores the past week. For internet, I have been using an Inseego MiFi X Pro 5G M3000. I noticed that when I bring up Google maps, my location was not shown. I found out that the M3000 has an internal GPS, but it was turned off. I enabled it and Google maps once again shows my current location.
The Inseego M3000 was overheating and rebooting, so I bought a Straight Talk Home Internet device. It turns out that it does not have a GPS receiver in it, thus no display of where we are located on Google maps.
When we move to our next campground in Mississippi in a week, it will be interesting to see how the device behaves. Obviously, the Verizon towers can determine where we are without a GPS, but I will find out if Straight Talk still works or stops working due to the location change.
