Can you send a link to the tablet you use for cockpit navigation that does not require a mobile contract in the UK

I am being told by retailers I need a mobile contract to use GPS in a tablet , some on this forum say not required

Looking to get a genuine link or model number so I can go and purchase.

Thanks ...

Not leaving in UK, but my primary tablet in a iPad Mini Generation 2 (Retina). My backup device in an Android LENOVO Tab 2 A7 found few days ago, discounted for €50.

PS : my iPad mini is Wifi only and I have a Bad Elf Pro (external Bluetooth receiver). The android Lenovo has its own GPS included.

I use an iPad air2 with cellular.
However for GPS you do not need to have a SIM card to be inserted, GPS will work anyway.
I personally do have a sim installed and took the cheapest Data only subscription so I can always access the weather or file/update a Flightplan when needed, but as said it optional. A kneeboard in which you can hold is if very convenient during flying.
