My iPad 4th Generation model MD510X/A GPS not working My iPad 4th Generation model MD510X/A does not have GPS as an option in Location Services. Locatrion Servicdes is turned on but the message below is "Location Services uses Bluetooth and crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot locations to determine your approximate location". Is this a fault or a setting I can fix somewhere. Can I check if the iPad has a GPS chip?

Thank you! That was my guess but you have added to the certainty. All the best!
