You (or her), if not sure whether a GPS chip is present, can go into Settings>Location and Security. If there is no category to enable called "Use GPS Satellites", then there is no GPS chip present.
Of course, this ability would be mentioned in the specs or manual for the device---if no specific mention is made for "GPS" (a rather important selling point for some), then chances are there is not a chip and it will have no navigation capabilities. BTW; if a GPS chip IS present, you generally will not need any kind of external antenna. Just like any GPS device, it only needs a clear view of the sky either in the open air or through a car windshield. Not having some kind of dashboard/windshield mount would be a bit inconvenient however if the intention is to use it in a vehicle.
