Using an iPad as a GPS seems like a match made in heaven….oops,the wifi only version might not have been the way to go since the GPS capabilities seem to be embedded in that cell phone chip that’s missing.
Well, after playing around with it and a road trip with my apple savvy son, it seems to work…sort of.
The trick seems to be that the apple location services work really well with the verizon MIFI card. Although, you need to get used to watching the little blue dot sit there not moving and then you crest a hill and switch towers and the dot quickly zooms down the road you’re on and catches up.
So it REALLY helps if you use it like a map since it’s very likely to get to your turn AFTER you drive through it. But once you crank up the brightness, it’s perfect to glance at and you can see it without those reading glasses on 😉
