It's real GPS and it works really well on my Verizon iPad2. I have never activated my Verizon data plan, and only bought it for the GPS. The performance I've had is great, and I far prefer to have the built in GPS than to have to buy yet another device to charge and keep handy. I would say to buy the 3G one and see how you like it before you even consider the alternative GPS's. You will likely end up happy and then you don't have to charge 2 things. If you end up not happy, you can still add the GPS for in flight....but then leave it in the plane and when you take your iPad in the car just use the built-in. I find no use for the external GPS's.

So far both the iPad and application have performed flawlessly . I have the iPad with the built in gps and love it. I am looking for a screen cover that cuts down on the glare however. I would also like to find a way to mount the iPad in the airplane as it is cumbersome in the cockpit. Some sort of stick mount may work. >> >> Hope that helps. >> >> Randy Snarr >> N694RS >> 235/320 >> >> Sent from my iPadhttp://www.amazon.com/Kodak-Easyshare-C1505-Digital-Camera/dp/B005AKS4DA/ref=sr_1_83?ie=UTF8&qid=1323543515&sr=8-83 >> >> On Dec 12, 2011, at 3:24 PM, Terrence O'Neill wrote: >> >>> What's the latest good/bad experience for how the digital charts etc. are working for an iPad wi-fi.?
