Best bluetooth gps to work with ipad ?

[mancuk29]

Want to use my iPad 3 as a sat nav .. I know the wifi doesn't have any gps built in so I'm going to have to use a Bluetooth external gps unit .. I've tried my old holux Bluetooth gps and the iPad doesn't see it ,
Can anyone tell me the best one to use (not too expensive) .. I'm in uk

Thanks for help

Ouch expensive does iPad have to be jail broken to work or does it pair up straight away ?

Thanks

It is Bluetooth. Why would it need to be JB?

It is pricey, but if you upgraded to the 4G model just to use GPS you'd pay a little more (but have the option for 3g/4G).

I read on some sites before I found this fab forum the Bluetooth stack drivers are not on the wifi iPads

Did you experience any problems after updating to iOS 6? (In case you did update)
I am looking into getting me one, but I heard of problems with the new OS...

Well, I have not had any problems with OS 6, but I now I have a iPad 3 with LTE so the chip is built in and thus the receiver isn't being used. However, I may get an iPad Mini Wifi, and if I do I will use the receiver with it. I don't expect there to be any problems, either.
