As I understand it only the ipad has the problem of the wifi only version having no in-built GPS, but even then an external GPS can be used (although only a few are compatible with ipad and are quite expensive).

Does your device meet the minimum requirements (in particular the Android OS must be at least 3.2) - wikipedia says it never had any official release beyond 2.3. You could try Cyanogenmod, but I think you may end up in a world of pain running 4.x with only 512MB of RAM.
