Those of us who have an iPad Wifi and not 3G have to settle for the triangulation by Wifi for the location, something that makes it impossible to use this device with apps like NAVIGON, to give an example of navigation.
The alternative can be to use an external GPS such as the XGPS150 in the image, which connects to our iPad via Bluetooth and it works like a charm thanks to a connection in which we have practically nothing to do.
The price of the GPS is $ 99, so if you have not bought the iPad yet I would recommend that you buy a 3G model, but if you already have it, this is an option.

As Joan reminds us in the comments, with the iPhone 4 WiFi Tethering in iOS 4.3 the GPS signal is also shared.
Hello, I don't know if it works with the iPhone 3G and 3GS via bluetooth, but for those of us who have iPhone 4 and share a tethering connection with the iPad via Wi-Fi, we not only share the data rate, but we are also sharing the GPS geolocation of the iPhone 4, it is as simple as opening the maps app and seeing that it locates you at the same point and precision as the iPhone 4 would
Greetings.
You're right Joan, actually I think we discussed it around here a while ago. I add it.
Yes, but have you tried that with a navigation program, like tomtom, for example? Because I have tried and the Ipad does not receive enough signal. "Bad gps reception", although at the same time on the iphone 4 it works perfectly.
