OK Rabid, i see your point that a ipad tethered to a cell phone would likely get the GPS data wirelessly from the cell phone ( without cell service). draw back is it is another device ( cell phone) to keep powered on trips into the back country ( i.e. a week or more in the mountains away from...

HI Niall. I think that the ipads are not functional for use in areas without cell service as they lack an internal GPS function. Also, no point in me tethering any tablet to a cell phone/hot spot because there is no cell service available in most areas that i would be flying the drone in...
