why not buy an android device? my nexus 7 straps to my leg and has gps with wifi only. can probably buy for peanuts compared with apple
Horizon Flyer - noted re the cost and features of a new Apple devices vs. Android, but eBay is awash with 'old' iPads that cope perfectly well with SD; the graphics and processors aren't comparable by today's standards, but perfectly adequate for flying. Which is exactly what I use mine for - it lives in the aircraft.

The screen is a bit slow to refresh when in planning mode (but for the most part I use my PC for that anyway, and save the route to the cloud ready to open on my tablet). In the plane it works perfectly.
Obviously you're correct, but it is worth pointing out that I paid £80 for a re-furbished Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (8"), and didn't need an external GPS device. All I needed was a yoke mount (from ram mount - they really are good).
