Be aware that unless you have a WiFi+Cellular model iPad, the location displayed/shared may not be particularly accurate...
Only WiFi+Cellular models of iPad have GNSS/GPS - this being a function of the iPad Cellular chipset. WiFi Only models of iPad have no GPS capabilities with which iPad Location Services can derive location. This fundamental difference may significantly impact your ability to derive an accurate location for your iPad - in particular if real-time positioning (e.g., a moving map) is required.
WiFi Only models can only “infer” their location from a database lookup of neighbouring WiFi networks for which the geographic location is known, or the geographic location of your public IP address. For static applications in urban locations, where the location of IP public IP addresses and WiFi networks are known, an “inferred” location can be relatively accurate. However, in rural locations, or when using a Cellular/Satellite/VPN connection, location accuracy of an inferred location [if it works at all] may be very inaccurate.
