iOS 5- what would you like to see for iPad?

On behalf of all iPad[2] and iPod Touch owners who do not have 3G and live in rural areas: please, please, please let us enter our own location in location services, or provide some other way of getting around the fact that location services does not work out here (a few miles from the Blue Ridge, in my casej)!

I own two handheld GPS's, one with bluetooth, have a cell phone with Bluetooth, and my Internet connection is via a cell modem plugged into my router. The cell modem provides GPS to the router, which makes it available to my LAN via two different protocols. So I have multiple ways to determine my location, but no way to get that info into iOS.

Even manual entry (horrors!) would be better than what we don't have now.

Thanks

Tough one! If your Internet access, dongles n all, provide a static mac address you can simply go to skyhook and register it with your location. Takes about a week to update the database.

In the absence of gps I believe iOS searches and mac addresses it can currently see against the database and uses the returned location.

let me know how it works!
