[QUOTE="jebel, post: 2106819, member: 106189"] If you’re running the onX map on your iPad, simply open it and you will see your location. The iPad has its own GPS receiver, so your location (the location of the iPad) should show up automatically. This is independent of the Garmin unit. If you’re not seeing your location when you open onX on the iPad, try touching the compass to bring the current view to your location. A lot of people use only a phone running the onX app when in the woods (or a different app). You’re doing the same thing, just with an iPad. It has nothing to do with the Garmin unit and you could leave that at home, if you wanted. One note: the onX app can pull up maps when you’re connected to cell signal or wi-fi. When out of cell range, it can’t (but the GPS receiver still works fine without cell signal). To overcome this, you must download maps of your intended location to the iPad before leaving home - do it while connected to wi-fi. Fish around in the onX app for instructions on how to download maps. [/QUOTE]
