Not true. The higher end models do have gps. I know because my wife got me the wrong one to start with. I had to take it back and pay a few hundred more to get what I needed.....

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'
