iPads

Information

Wifi-only iPads do not have GPS so you cannot record your trails. You can connect a Garmin Glo 2 GPS, though. It costs $175. It is a small device that connects via bluetooth, so it can be carried in your pocket.

How do I know if my iPad is wifi-only?

  • there is no socket to put a SIM into (this might have a white plastic cover)
  • run the ‘Settings’ app – there will be no ‘Mobile’ section anywhere – only ‘Wifi’

If I have a mobile-capable iPad, do I need a SIM to use GPS

No, you do not need to insert a SIM into the SIM socket to use GPS.
