This looks like a reasonable tablet deal, particularly if the included maps are of interest. However, despite having maps, it doesn't have a GPS built in. Probably possible to use an external bluetooth GPS mouse.

From the DSE description:

Featuring a high definition 10.1” colour touch screen, dual core processor, front camera, microphone, SD card slot and both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the LASER eTouch Tablet has all the specifications you need at a value price. And the value doesn’t stop there. Out of the box you get all the most popular apps pre-loaded from the Google Play store so you can start reading eBooks, sending emails, browsing the web, watching movies, listening to music and of course connect to social media. Multifunctional and feature packed, the LASER eTouch Tablet is ideal for business, personal, travel or entertainment. It is pre-loaded and ready to go with apps and the Navig8r eStreet map (which has the latest Australia / New Zealand viewable map onboard.

Unique to LASER tablets is the Navig8r eStreet Director Works offline, without the need for an internet connection or costly data downloads.
Onboard Australia/NZ maps with property outlines, house numbers and amazing 3D rendered buildings and landmarks.

  Hmmm, strange cannot find any info on this unit if it has gps or not.
  It is very misleading if they sold it without GPS though.

  Since they mention it having maps but you don't have the hardware to use them. lol.

    I should have given more reason why this is no deal. My downvote has been removed.

  Review from whirlpool, posted in January

  This time I'm going for budget 10" tablet. I bought Laser 10" MID-1040 for $158 at HN two weeks ago, mostly for the kids. It had a defect 2 days after I purchased it, with their $30 – 3yr extended warranty. HN doesn't want to know about it. I rang Laser, explained the situation. Laser rep said try HN again, if no joy, send it back. I ended up sending it back myself, $13 in postage, regular post. And 3 days later, they sent me back a brand new one, on express courier. Thanks Laser for standing by your product.

  Picture quality is not as good as ipad/samsung. But the internal speaker is clearly audible 30cm away. Unlike Thomson, Amicroe or Pendo Pad that requires an earphone (internal speaker barely audible even if you put the tablet in front of your face). Good enough, if you have kids that can't share an earphone.
  There are various free apps that offer free blockbuster grade movies, some movies are currently showing!

  The only competition is Kmart's latest Audiosonic 10" for $199, with quad core and 2MP+5MP cameras. I contacted their support team and they said the tablet is audible from 1m away. But I can't verify that, as there is no dispaly/working model in their stores.

    Didn't you read? It has a high definition screen!

    But seriously, please nobody buy this POS. Pay a little bit more, get a far superior tablet.
