Title: Ipad and GPS
#6
Apple has had a hardware accessory program for the 30 pin dock connector for many years. The Bad Elf GPS accessory will work with any app that uses "Location Services" to determine it's position. iNavX and just about every other navigation application use "Location Services".

My question though is why someone would buy an iPad WiFi and then spend $99 for a GPS when they could just buy an iPad 3G for a mere $129 additional. Seems $129 for both 3G and GPS functionality is a much better deal. The 3G service is optional and non contractual.

These external GPS make more sense for iPod touch where there is not an upgraded model with from Apple.
