Honestly I'm not sure that wifi strength is an issue. My tablet actually got higher scores on a speedtest on several occasions than my laptop or phone connected to wifi. Whenever I'm on campus I never have wifi reception problems, which I think would be the place most likely to have issues because the access points are undoubtably spread out. As for the GPS, I have yet to try to use it while driving around because I have no use for it, my phone does it and I still have an actual GPS.
