[QUOTE="jebel, post: 2220316, member: 106189"] Smart phones have an internal GPS receiver and SOME iPad/tablets have them. So when you use navigation apps like OnX, GaiaGPS, BaseMap, etc. the device is able to find your location without using cellular. Caution 1: The navigation apps must have maps so you can see the terrain around you. If you will be off cellular, you must download maps to your device for the relevant area in advance of your trip. This is done from inside whatever navigation app you're using. Caution 2: Not all iPads come with GPS receivers. I believe it is only those iPads that possess a cellular receiver also have a GPS receiver, but you'd need to check model details. iPads that only operate on wireless networks commonly do not have a GPS receiver.
