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 ...

One thing to be aware of is that the WiFi only iPad does NOT have an internal GPS, so it becomes necessary to use an external GPS source such as Bad Elf. If you want an iPad with an internal GPS you should choose the 4G model but you do NOT need a SIM card in order to be able to use the internal GPS, contrary to what some retailers will tell you. However, with a SIM card, you will have the convenience of being able to update NOTAM and weather in the absence of WiFi assuming, of course, that you have a 4G signal.
As far as internal storage is concerned, my philosophy is to get as much as you can afford. You can never have too much internal storage in my opinion!
