Even in the US we do not have cell coverage everywhere. In Mexico the service is much less available. But I do have a question - isn't an iPad or whatever using data? Don't we pay for data? Isn't it expensive to have a device turned on all day using data all the time? We don't have any of those devices though we do use a laptop when stationery in Mexico - when and if we can get a signal. But we buy online time and pay as we use it. If you are going down the road using GPS - providing you did get a signal enough of the time for it to be practical - wouldn't that use up your allocated data quickly?
With an I pad, if you want GPS all the time you have to have Cellular capacity, LTE. From what I heard, you do not need to be connected to have the GPS function.
