iPad with GPS

Yes. WiFi Only models do not have any GPS capability - as GPS is an element of the Cellular chipset.

This model differentiation is often missed by buyers, who often choose the WiFi Only models as a cost saving - only to later discover that GPS is not supported.

For clarity, whilst part of the Cellular chipset, cellular functions are completely independent of the GPS functions. You do not require an airtime contract.

I hope this clarification is helpful in informing your purchase decision.

So yes, it looks like it must be a cellular model

iOS and iPadOS devices without a cellular connection use only Wi-Fi for Location Services (if a Wi-Fi network is available). Some third-party apps rely on a Wi-Fi connection for region monitoring. If a device is passcode locked, this feature may be limited or inaccurate.
