- Sent from my BRAND-NEW iPad 2!

I acknowledged that possibility up thread. Again, apple should have put a gps chip in the wifi iPads.

Back on subject please

And maybe this will be also off topic but is there a possibility to pair up iPad 1 with a bluetooth gps device?

Agree!

First for new posters, do a search first of the question that is of interest to you and if an appropriate thread is found, then go ahead and post.

If not, then you need to really start a new thread - it is unlikely that more experienced posters who may be able to answer your question above will be reading deep into an unrelated thread or will just not respond for the reasons already stated.

Just trying to be helpful -

Still curious to know why mess around with a magnet, what exactly are you trying to do?

Can you not do without your ipad for the time it takes to have a shower?
Or are you into other water sports?

this is off topic.
It was just an experiment.
