Bob Are you positive that your unit has a built in GPS? I just = upgrade my iPad from the standard wi-fi to the 3G + wi-fi and was wanting the unit = w/ a GPS but was told that infact they do-not come w/ a GPS. There are 'GPS emulators' that make it work like a GPS but it isn't infact and = gps.  I can't get any 'gps' functions to work on my w/out the 3G = operating.

As to external GPS units that integrate w/ blue tooth, what or where = does one get such a beast?

REALLY liking my iPAD for in-cockpit work. I did an entire trip last = night central Canada to Denver and return to Canada w/ two stops and didn't = pick up a single chart book or map [I have them still, I just don't use them]. It = doesn't get better than that!! Esp when going into somewhere larger like Denver = Metro area and getting 'yanked' around a bit switching up arrival plates or = approach plates is a synch.

Couldn't recommend it enough!

Btw, to date [only been using a iPad for ~4 weeks] I've not had issue = w/ heat or altitude and I generally fly Fl240 or Fl250 w/ a cabin alt = of 7-8000'
