Has anything changed?
Is cellular still linked with the GPS function on the newer iPads.
I don't need cellular (I have a phone with "hotspot).

Yea. GPS is only available on cellular models. You don't need a SIM to use it though.

As far as I know, the GPS capability is part of the cellular chip. My iPad2 never had a SIM in it. To me, the extra cost ($130 in Canada) was worth it just for GPS. I made extensive use of it during several years of off-road driving. Now I'm back on the highway, I've retired the iPad and use Google Maps on my iPhone instead.
