        Do not have a clue what  your talking about ??????  ALL four of my
laptop GPS programs have USB  port satellite pick-ups and the GPS works
without WiFi.  Been using them  for over four years with no problems in Canada,
USA and Mexico.

That's
where it gets expensive unless you use the  wi-fi all the time for other
reasons. I have a laptop for the van with  wireless, but too cheap for the
wi-fi  package.<<<<<<<
