I have the first generation of iPad, wifi only.  I have Foreflight= on it and connect it to my Dual GPS via Bluetooth. 

If you do that you will have geo referenced approach plates and "own s= hip" for enroute charts.  The gps will work on the seat box just above t= he fuel tank selector valve.  My wife says the reflection of having tha= t thing on the glare shield throws a reflection into her picture.
