Angier,

You are incorrect about about the iPad WiFi + 3G. It does have a GPS =
chip, that chip has the additional functionality that Assisted GPS =
offers. Below is the manufacturer information about the GPS chip that is =
in an iPad WiFi + 3G.

Hi John,

If you have a need to be online at 20k feet, then the iPad with Wi-Fi =

model has no dedicated GPS receiver and so is incapable of talking to =
space vehicles. An iPad with a dedicated external GPS receiver such as =

contact with a satellite.
So my math looks like this 499.00 for the least expensive Wi-Fi iPad =
plus 99.00 for the Bad Elf GPS receiver (I have one), and you're good to =
go.
The least expensive G3 model is 629.00 plus your monthly connection =
charges. How much extra do you pay to connect for 12 months?
Either way, just having every approach plate in the entire country on =
your iPad for the 75.00 annual cost of a Foreflight subscription makes =
it all worthwhile.
