I tried to download some GPS apps but all that popped up was this app requires GPS. What does that mean?

My understanding (based on reading here someplace a while back) is that you will need a dedicated GPS antenna, i.e., w/bluetooth connection.
In the iPhone the chip is in the phone; for iPad usage of GPS the antenna provides the chip.

You don't need any special antenna to use GPS on an iPad, all you need is a WiFi+cellular iPad. The antenna built into the iPad is all you'll need. If you have a WiFi only iPad, a GPS unit that can link with the iPad via Bluetooth will enable you to view the GPS info on the screen of your iPad.
I have a Wifi only iPad. How do I get A GPs
Ok How do I do that?
