Well it looks like a wifi iPad can actually get a GPS fix form an iPhone 4 when connected to the phone's personal hotspot. http://blog.urbanape.com/post/3798485232/show-me-the-way This does significantly reduce the disadvantages of going for the wifi-only iPad. In my case though, apart from

Hi Hugh, The personal hot spot is a new feature in iOS 4.3 and is turned on it Settings. If you do not see the feature you may need to sync with iTunes and let it upgrade iOS. Cheers, Carlo On 2011-03-14, at 22:42, Hugh Griffiths wrote: So does this mean this only works with a iphone 4, I
