The 3G GPS is not at all "faux GPS". 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.

Randy, thanks. I'm trying to understand whether i want the G3 or not, vs. just with wi-fi and maybe add a Bad Elf later. What else does the G3 give you besides the faux GPS?
For mounting, I thought mine might fit right above and cover the throttle and mixture, which I work without looking at anyway. Not much room in there.

Terence, I purchased an iPad just for the wingx application. 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.
