what is the best way to do a car gps on the 7 tablet 2012? for free only.. can I get a bt antenna set up or is thru the usb better??
and how do I get all the US maps free??the tablet would be mounted..

I don't understand the question. Have you tried Google Maps app? What about Waze? Either should work...

Why do you think you need a separate antenna? The Nexus 7 2012 has built in GPS.

Assume you want an offline GPS program. You really won't find any that are free with current maps, but there are a few that are pretty cheap. Sygic is free, you just buy the maps. It works pretty good on the Nexus 7 2012.

No need for an external antenna but external power would be good.

Google Maps lets you download maps to your device - Open Google Maps -> Tap the hamburger menu at top left -> scroll down and tap Tips and Tricks -> under Search and Explore, tap Download and use offline areas.

Or, just go here: https://support.google.com/maps/answer/6291838?co=GENIE.Platform=Android&hl=en

but does Navfree use Google maps in that state???I thought they used a public set of maps.
Navfree runs good on the 7. Once you clear the cache it runs slick.

My point was, why use a third-party app when you can just use Google Maps? Yes, Google Maps is a full-featured navigation app.
