it has a-GPS capability which doesn't require internet, i just can't seem to find an app that takes advantage of it.The wifi only iPad does NOT have the GPS chip, but if you want a navigator app anyway, try Tomtom, it uses its own map and doesn't need internet connection.

and TOMTOM is for iphone ONLY...

It has triangulation via nearby wireless connections, not through a GPS chip. The GPS chip is on the 3G board.
So how can I take advantage of it?
That can't happen unless you are connected to Wi-Fi. YOu can prove this to yourself by turning off Wi-Fi and then trying to use any location-aware app.No i didn't get 3G iPad. I have wifi only. I still would like to use it's location awareness services with an app that would act as a sort of rough gps.
So ipad cannot tell me where I am located based on 5-10 wireless networks it detects? It has to connect to it???
i know, i wanted mostly to use my ipad when i am taking a walk in a new place. last time i went for a 2 hour walk in San Francisco and my GPS not only could not connect to the satellites but it didn't even display a map.The iPad may still be useful to you, people have been using maps without the help of GPS for a long time now...
