You can run GPS on any iPad via Bluetooth, in fact, it's more precise because you can place the GPS module against the windscreen where it gets the best signal.
Also allows you to keep your iPad out of the sun.

Hey mate have you tried this yourself to see the accuracy?

Someone else mentioned the external plugin was not so good with accuracy but your comment makes sense but keen to hear from people who have physically tried it?

It's the only way I use my GPS even with my iPhone which has built-in GPS.
Up to 70 kph the tracking is spot on with the position of the vehicle i.e. the moving arrow in my TomTom app is exactly where the vehicle is in relation to any side street or crossing. Without the external GPS module the arrow is about 10 metres behind where I really am.

There's no external plugin. It works via Bluetooth and doesn't interfere with my hands free.

I use a Dual XGPS150

I didn't think the air had a model with built in gps?

what is this strange thing called iPad you talk about???????

You really need a decent amount of memory Kris, I have an iPad 16gig 3G that I use and it's great. Maps take a far bit of room though so if you want to store a lot of maps then 16gb would be the smallest id buy.

Mine is an iPad2 and works a treat, the optics are awesome. Also the iPad sits in that pen slot rail in front of that flip door perfect mate.

Just to add some info that might be of interest, there are only 2 or 3 Apple licensed GPS devices but if you have a jailbroken iPad you can use almost any available GPS module.
I use a Globalsat receiver with my jailbroken iPhone but have to use the Dual with my iPad.
If you have both an iPhone & iPad and both are jailbroken you can use the iPhone as the GPS receiver for the iPad.

I have the same as you and find 16 gig useless it's maxed out to easily I'll be going 32 minimum or even 64 next time
