Friends of mine went 'up-country' yesterday into England. Wiltshire, actually, so a really long way!. The iPad packed up after about 30 mins as it dropped the Bluetooth connection to the GPS thingy and wouldn't recover. However, they also had a Samsung A6 which performed perfectly both ways, no need for GPS 'help'.
If iPads are so great, why is there a market for a holder with cooling fans built-in and GPS dongles?
TOO
If you brought the cellular iPad mini you would have GPS built in so no need for a dongle, and buying the silver or white model will remove a potential overheating problem,
i have flown in Spain at 40 C strapped to my leg and never had a problem with my silver one, but I will agree you will pay a premium for owning a IPad
