It is not possible to change or modify the internal hardware components of an iPad. 


A WiFi Only iPad cannot be transformed into a WiFi+Cellular model. The only ways that you can access Cellular services from a WiFi Only iPad are to use the hotspot feature of a mobile phone - or a Cellular Broadband Router (often known as a MiFi Router) - to access Cellular networks.


In context of GPS functionality, recognising that you are aware that native GPS capability is integral to the Cellular chipset, you can add an external GPS receiver - this being a common requirement for aviation and marine applications. BadElf have good reputation.
