The 3G version has a dedicated GPS just like the iPhone.

The WiFi only iPad does not have a GPS chip inside.

err.. so? your point is?

All these have been mentioned in our earlier posts right?

But it does not solve the mystery nor explain why iPhone doesn't work for your case.

As mentioned earlier, the 3G version, as well as iPhone, CAN locate your coordinates using GPS. But Google Map will NOT work if there is no data connection. How did your friend get Google Map to work, that is the mystery.

Can share how your friend preload the Maps? Thanks..

This also will work on your Google-maps enabled, broadband-less phone.
Unlike the program on a computer, however, the phone application will keep
informing you that you've lost the Internet connection. Just keep closing
the dialogue box without closing the application.\"

I have iPad 1 and iPad 2. I find these iPads are very useful, if you know how to make full use of it, beside playing games, stream or watch dramas/movies, you will find it an angels.... and a good tools for the kids.


My boys hate my iPads, I tell you why. Beside using it as an entertainment gadget, I have turn those iPads into their revision tools. I saved all the study notes, test papers, some model composition for them to read on the move.

I find it so easy, becos I do not need to bring piles of books or assessment when we go out. I just have to turn on the iPad, the material all there. Ha Ha! Once they have done their revision, then iPad will be there to entertain them... One stone kills two birds...

hi, care to share what are the useful apps you use for streaming/watching movies/dramas... as well as storing your child's notes? Do u convert docs to pdf so it can be read, or is there something more effective??

:thankyou:

If you have iPad2, just take the picture is most easy and fast way to keep notes, esp if you just wanna read it on a short trip.

Thanks for the tip! I have the iPad2 and it is so under-utilised now, except for DS watching movies, youtube, and playing with some of the free apps which was replicated frm my iPhone! :oops: :oops:

Let me guess.. are you using 3GS or earlier model?

I just tested on my 3GS. Turn off data and 3G. And yes, it does cache a small area of the last visited map.

If yours can't, maybe it is older iOS version..? Try updating to iOS4 and try..?

In summary.. if iPad can there is no reason why iPhone cannot..

It is not surprising if the device can cache a small area of the Map for offline use. What is surprising is differences in behaviour between iPhone and iPad.. provided both have the same iOS version..
