Very much agree, no matter what size, go for the iPad with Cellular version that has internal GPS (aka SIM Card version)
I had a non cellular ipad tied with Bluetooth to an external Garmin Go GPS puck but the Bluetooth connection frequently disconnected and before you could reconnect it the GPS puck would power off as no bluetooth connection.
I WOULD NEVER BUY A NON CELLULAR IPAD NOW FOR NAVIGATION.
