At least state side there is no contract required for the iPad data plan. It's US$30 a month and activated on iPad as needed. I don't believe its needed to use the GPS as I have an older iPhone 3G with no contract and GPS functionality continues to work. The GPS receiver is just integrated in the cell radio receiver. This is because the GPS receiver can be assisted with cell tower location. This is done so in places (i.e. inside, around tall buildings) the location services still work.
