I'm in the early research stages to use an Ipad in the -9A. I'm leaning toward the Ipad mini with Foreflight. I've used the Foreflight app on an Ipad 2 and liked it.
Q1 - I know the 4g Ipads have the internal gps chip but the FAQs on Sportys site recommends an external GPS unit (Dual or Bad elf) be used in all Ipads to insure no loss of signal. My friend has the Anywheremap Freedom app on his 4g mini without an add-on gps and never lost reception. Discuss.
Q2 - Are there benefits of the 4g Ipad over the wifi only devices while in flight? On the ground? I'm a T-mobile subscriber so I wouldn't activate any cell data provider plans. Pros and cons?
Thanks all.
