Surface device with GPS

Hi,

I'd like to ask if there are any MS Surface tablets or 2-in-1 that have GPS (or a list of). The reason I'm looking for new devices is for the sales personnel at my current job to replace the old ones (a mix of Android and iPads). The sales personnel need to be able to add the GPS location of new customers, so logistics be able to plan their routes.

I can see there are quite a few options with 4G LTE but expect those with the Intel m3 8100Y (which is dual core with HT) I haven't found any that explicit states it has GPS.

    See Surface Pro LTE GPS configuration - Microsoft Community - while some devices do have a GPS chip, there have been issues when attempting to use external software programs to access the GPS.

    Hi Dimitrios Kepenos,

    Thank you for reaching Microsoft Community. We appreciate your interest with our Surface devices.

    Surface devices with Wi-Fi only support do not have GPS because the operating system will use location services instead. The GPS feature will be available on Surface devices with LTE Advanced capabilities, like as Surface Pro X LTE***, Surface Go 2*** LTE***, Surface Pro 7+*** LTE***, Surface Pro 8with LTE Advanced, Surface Go 3*** with LTE Advanced, and Surface Pro 9 with 5G. ****

    Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking Yes or No.

    Kind regards,

    Lavenia
