Hi,
There are now at least three good solutions for adding gps to the wifi iPad.

GNS 5870 MFI GPS Bt Receiver "WAAS" Enabled - GNS GmBH
Bad Elf GPS Receiver
Dual Electronics XGPS150 Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver

I prefer the XGPS150 to use in the car.

Check those on Amazon for details and let us know your comments.

I have the Dual xgps150 working with both my wifi-only ipad2 and my wife's iPod touch. No jb required. I'm using Navfree, ndrive, and google maps with it.

The GNS unit is great. Jail broken or not on iPad I like it because you can place it with best sky view away from iPad in boat plane or car

Not true. Navigon is not looking for any GPS hardware before installing. Neither is MotionX GPS... I have it installed on my wifi only iPad right now.

In the case of MotionX Drive HD the only reason it won't install is because it was flagged as needing an iPad 3G when submitted to the app store. It is not the app that is preventing it from installing, it is the app store. Indeed it will install and run on a WiFi iPad because I have tried it--but you can't go through iTunes.

So is there any other way to install this with iPad Wi-Fi only verision? If it is jailbroken is there a way?


Cheers,

Rabah
