I Pad

[cedarswamp]

Thinking of investing in an I Pad to run my Navionics on, My question is which one will work for this ? Needs to have GPS Capabilities !

If you buy a Wi-Fi only i-Pad then you have no GPS capability built-in. In order to get GPS capability on it, you would have to create a hotspot with your iPhone and then access the GPS capability thru it. That's how I access the GPS and Navionics app on my i-Pad! By the way, if you haven't seen the new feature on the Navionics app, the Fishing Depths Shading, it's awesome!

Yes, you can also use a device like Bad Elf which is a Bluetooth GPS receiver as well!

If you don't want to use your iPhone as a hot spot you buy a separate GPS receiver for a Wi-Fi only iPad. Garmin also makes one called a GLO!

A bad elf is what pilots use to communicate with there Wifi only IPads. There very accurate and rechargeable they will last 3 days on a single charge. I use 1 with my iPad so I don’t run down my iPhone battery.
