iPad as a GPS device
I recently got a wifi only (non-cellular) iPad. Is there a way to tether the iPad to an iPhone to enable using it as a GPS device?

I think you are asking about using the iPhone as a hotspot so the iPad can go on the internet and use the various mapping apps, such as Apple Maps.
On the iPhone, go to Settings and make sure WiFi is on and not connected to any network. Then go to Settings/Personal Hotspot, and turn on "allow others to join." Underneath that you will see the password you will need to enter on the iPad in order to join the network you are about to create on the iPhone. Finally, go to the iPad and hit Settings, and again turn on WiFi, this time connect to the iPhone using the password the iPhone showed you.
You can also hook up to the iPhone via Bluetooth, so your phone could connect to another wifi network, but that would be silly.
