Check out "Dual Electronics XGPS150A Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver for Portable Devices" on Amazon. When I was looking into them a while back this was rated about the best unit out there for almost any device.
A lot of pilots use them for backup to a planes navigation systems and rated them real good for all 3 axis. I found more then one apps that you can download all streets and highway data for the whole USA into your device so you don't need cell coverage.
After lurking around a bunch, I found out if you buy an Ipad with just WIFI you have to go this route to use GPS when you have no WIFI coverage. Not to mention WIFI isn't near as accurate for GPS. The Ipads with onboard cell included GPS chip built in . The nice part of Samsung was they put the GPS chip technology in both type of units cell and WIFI at least they did. I went with Samsung just for that reason and didn't need this. Just didn't want another cell bill each month.
Good luck.
Thank you for this info, Im going to check on it but so far the cost is $80 to over $100 for a Bluetooth GPS receivers, I have only used the tablet 2 times and it worked good but tough that antenna would improve it. I have a friend who has a I pad with WiFi and I will tell him about this.Am going to save this info.
