Some say can. Some say cannot.

So...

if you want GPS function, get a 3G iPad 2. RM400 only. Cheap cheap nia.

anyone using a car holder to hold their ipad 2 in the car?

mind to share some pics and also where to get and how much?

thanks.

Wah, I seriously cannot imagine an iPad sitting on a dashboard of a car.

thats abit extreme customisation. radio pun kasi buang.

I was referring to something like this actually (just found it)

It can b done. Tried it on my wifi unit
Tether with my 3GS and can use the location service on google map.
Hook up on free wifi @ Starbucks also can use location service.
Even short drive can still pick up location on google map when tether with 3GS.
Find iPad function also no problem (for both wifi & tether)
Dow side is that it wil makan ur phone battery.

Have yet to try d Papago app nod iPad tether with phone....

I downloaded a US GPS application before. Works quite well so no problems with GPS.

I will share my experience here.
I can use GPS on my iPad2 3G without sim inserted. If your ipad on airplane mode, GPS don't work. Recently tried with a free map while travelling, it works perfectly. I don't have to put my iPad on the dash board, i just hold it on my hand while sitting in the back passenger seat.

thanks!!

wanna ask so ipad wifi version no GPS on board?
den how about fb and foursqaure check in? just roughly estimate ur place by the wifi connection?

I bought the same one for less than RM 30 on eBay. Works great but need more bottom support (rubber feet or something sticky) as iPad is heavy.

Thx for sharing.

Mind to PM me the link of the seller. Thx again.

would like to know, how does all this gps apps like papago hd perform againts a normal garmin gps (real gps, not app)?

Garmin still better... new models such as 1460 will out performance Papago on iPad. Plus, it is convenient as u can slip the unit into the pocket before leaving the car.

currently using the basic model 250 or something. sometimes it does mess me up during highways turning when the road is too tricky for my gps to display properly. and the trouble to update malsingmap too =/

seems like the papago hd display some sorta pictures when there is a turn ahead like garmin higher end models + the ease to update, so i was wondering if i should splurge the money for it

For older models, u should disable everything except Road POI when creating the maps. Applicable to MFM (malfreemaps) only.

I buy 3G for no more hasle to use GPS just bring iPad no need to pair with 3G device on the spot I can find my favurite place while driving.. No need sim and no need wifi..also have big screen..only waiting Papago to upgrade display to HD VERSION current still using iPhone version

same, im looking for this item too.

i should have just bought my ipad 2 with 3G...

if we put the Ipad 2 on the passenger seat lying down without the need to make it standing, does it work? some of u were saying that it's too bulky to be on the dash but i thought the best solution is just having lay down on the seat next to u will do right?

I used Sygic with my wifi iPad and it works tremendously. My only problem is I kept admiring the graphics in Sygic.
