[QUOTE="fleurya, post: 1022786, member: 22866"] The iPad doesn't have GPS. It locates you by triangulating your position using the cell towers. I would assume that if you don't have the cell connection, the iPad won't be talking with the nearby towers and you won't be able to locate yourself. In my experience with the first iPhone, it's pretty worthless compared to real GPS anyway. There's never been a time when I didn't know roughly where I was to search for something nearby, and that's really all it's good for. For actual directions you need a good position fix only true GPS can provide. [/QUOTE]
