Re: WTB New iPad
Apart from what is the latest, I would advise an iPad mini. The convenience of size to slip into a handbag is a huge plus and it is fully functional compared with the full size iPad.

Re: WTB New iPad
Hi Susan. I have bought the TomTom app for Australia ($75) and also USA/Canada ($75) for use on the iPhone (there is also the TomTom Western Europe app (covers UK) I can see for $60 today). While having a SIM provides additional location information for navigating, the iPhone GPS alone will still locate you and permit navigation on the preloaded maps contained in the app. Certainly the iPad screen size would be better and having a SIM would be essential (as no gps). Not sure if you have an iPhone but if you do, then going the TomTom route allows the driver to windscreen mount the iPhone, turned horizontal makes a great navigation unit as opposed to buying an additional bespoke 'Garmin like' device. Must be sure to connect power as pretty battery hungry. If you do buy the TomTom apps, then you buy once and can get on both iPhone and iPad assuming the same AppleID. Just an alternative there for you or even additional to your proposed navigation solution.

Re: WTB New iPad
Hi, yes, I have the tom tom app for australia, and bought other mapping apps when we were in the Uk and Europe a couple of years ago. Mostly my husband drives and I navigate. I wear glasses and really appreciate the larger screen. Using GPS apps rather than google or apple maps does mean not needing the local SIM card, but price wise for a month of access I would think that the SIM card is cheaper than buying the mapping apps, which are quite pricey. But, if you are driving and navigating by voice the iPhone works just as well, I agree. If you have a sim enabled ipad there is built in GPS I believe. Cheers, Susan.

Re: WTB New iPad
There are also free GPS map apps eg: http://www.macworld.com.au/app-guide/navfree-for-ipad-and-iphone-65804/ I had not found these (or bought an iPad) when we last did an overseas trip - so I don't know how well the UK one works - but I have since downloaded the Oz UK ones onto the iPad and the Oz one seems to work well. One thing to be aware of - each upgrade must involve the whole app (with maps) so is several hundred MB - so best not to do this on your paid mobile data allowance ;o) - on the other hand, I assume this means regular map updates. I haven't tried it on the phone. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Yes Susan, Wi-Fi + Cellular iPad has a built-in GPS receiver. And the GPS is completely separate from the 3G/4G service, so you don’t even have to have an active data plan for the GPS to work. You could buy a 3G/4G model iPad, never activate a Cellular service, and still have GPS data. (WiFi only iPads do not have a GPS). Apple doesnt integrate GPS on the Wi-Fi only models, but you can still locate yourself and use Location Services only if you are connected through Wi-Fi. The cellular + Wi-Fi models are more precise on GPS as they use cellular signals to pinpoint accuracy of your location.
