Bill,
Adding an external GPS will only make the signal "stronger".

  To get your position on approach plates you need to subscribe to a service=
 that provides "geo-referenced plates for the iPad.  The only one I know of i=
s WingX who uses plates from Seattle Avionics.  Their service is a little pr=
icey as they charge $98 a year for their service, plus another $99 for the S=
eattle Avionics plates.  The reason for georefferenced charts is that they a=
re different scales, unlike a sectional.  So, each plate needs at least two p=
oints with a firm lat - long position.  I have both fore flight and wingx, I=
 keep hoping fore flight will get geo-reffed plates, the rumor is that they a=
re working on it. =20

Wingx works fine, but I think fore flight is better for planning, and they h=
ave moving map sectionals, low and high altitude IFR charts.

My 3G IPad works great with both Foreflight and WingX.  Your position on an a=
pproach plate is great for situational awareness, you still need to watch th=
e needles to shoot the approach.
