Good GPS software for iPad without provider.

[Compman55]

On ipads without a wireless service provider, is there any GPS software? And is there a sensor.

I don't think that they have GPS on them at all, only wifi based aGPS for rough location services.

Without a wireless service provider? Not as far as my knowledge goes.

You will need to get an external GPS device (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...436193724?mt=8). Some connect through bluetooth and some plug in to the dock connector. You will also need a GPS program that uses offline maps, such as CoPilot (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/copilot-live-premium-hd-usa/id436193724?mt=8).

Only the 3G and LTE enabled iPads have a GPS receiver. I don't know if it will work without a SIM card.

Yes..! you can hook your iPad to external GPS unit. For this you will need an iPad, BTstack GPS(available in Cydia Store) and an Android phone.

. Install BTstack GPS.
. Install Android Bluetooth forwarder.
. Pair your devices.
and enjoy with GPS connectivity.

If you have an LTE/cellular enabled iPad but do not pay for service, you can use a number of GPS apps in the store that bring their own maps. I have Navigon from a long time ago and it has region-specific downloads at least in the US model (separated by state).

GPS in cell radio equipped iPads works fine even without a cell plan. Obviously you need map software, but it's great, and I wish to hell Apple would put a GPS chip in WiFi only iPads.

Obviously, you can tether to a cell phone for data and use google maps, Apple maps.
