Am I able to use the iPad Air GPS in my car for navigation?

I have an 8th generation Ipad Air, model # A2270 which comes with Apple Maps. My question is am I able to use the iPad in my car for navigation as I use my iPhone? I'm curious since the iPad doesn't have cellular capabilities. Because of the iPad larger screen it would be ideal for navigation.


Thanks for any help you can give me.

ONLY if your iPad model is a cellular data model as ONLY the cellular data model iPads have the needed internal GPS antennas to communicate with GPS satellites.

Wifi ONLY iPads lack the internal GPS antennas needed to use the iPad as a true GPS device.
