Does iPad mini Wifi come with GPS

GPS is very important function of device like iPad but it is not listed on tech-specs of iPad mini wifi version. Is it true that it does not come with GPS?

A mini-education...
GPS signals are separate from and completely unrelated to both the Internet and the cellular telephone network.  GPS signals come directly from the GPS satellites.  They provide signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate latitude and longitude information.  Navigation software then takes that latitude/longitude info and converts it to land mass, roads, bridges, highways, buildings, etc.
Most navigation software stores the maps right in the iPad/iPod/iPhone but a disadvantage is that the maps must be periodically updated (perhaps once every two years).  The Internet is not required to use the system but it is required to update the maps.
Some navigation software gets the maps from the Internet and requires an Internet connection to function but an advantage is that the maps are always up-to-date.
The WiFi+3G/4G iPad and the iPhone both have a GPS receiver.  The WiFi-only iPad and the iPod do not and these devices require an accessory.

    What do I have to do if they still would refuse the change it? In fact I just searched for the warranty policy of apple.. So I got an problem after an update of apple, they recongized its their fault, their software fault.. In their warranty you can read the following: Cover of breakdown service or replacement with regard to. --> Lacks which arise after supply to the customer.  So in fact i should get a new one?! But i can't obey them or can I? What should I do?
    EDIT: in my router logs I see this a few times: Blocked incoming TCP packet from 198.144.121.77:80 to 178.117.139.126:3072 as SYN:ACK received but there is no active connection  What does it mean?

  • Does iPad mini have restrictions with keyboard size?

    Does iPad mini with retina have size restrictions?

    It can't be bigger then the screen unless you buy an external keyboard.

  • Does the iPad mini retina come with a screen protector already on it?

    I'm seeing minor scratches and am wondering if they are just on the protective film.

    Yeah I removed the plastic covering the entire device so I guess I'm seeing scratches. Back to the Apple Store I guess... Ugggh

  • Does the iPad mini retina wifi only come with GPS?

    I want to use the wifi mini retina with Garmin Pilot, an aviation app. Does the wifi only version come with GPS installed or do I have to get a 4G/LTE version?

    You need the 4G/LTE version. The WiFi version does not have GPS.

  • HT1222 IPad mini wifi+cellular does not allows to enable restrictions in fact there is no such alternative under Settings- General.. I need the passcode for several purpose, how can to avail it?.. Please somebody ASAP

    Hello,
    A day before got new IPAD mini (Wifi-Cellular). When trying to look forpasscode enable option, it ended with nothing to avail. Would like to know if there is any such priviledge or not. Secondly, when the iPad is left idle for awhile ,say, 5 minutes,, a poor screensaver pops up and continues to play IPad advertisement, which we usually find in DEMO products @stores. Doubtful, if seller has handed over bad/demo stuff to me. Please suggest. It took whole of last night to figure out on Google, but no success.
    Thanks

    Morning driving,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    You can configure a passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
    iOS: Understanding passcodes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4113
    If you are unable to modify certain passcode settings, there may be a configuration profile that requires these passcode options.
    You can find out if a profile is installed by tapping Settings > General and looking for the Profile setting between Accessibility and Reset.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • HT1766 How do I change the phone number associated with my ipad mini wifi?

    How do I change the phone number associated with my ipad mini wifi?

    TestArchitect wrote:
    Umm, incorrect. My new ipad retina wifi, and my wifes mini wifi both have a phyone number associated with them, in facetime and imessage. It syncs messages with teh iphone of that number, and facetime calls to that number go into BOTH devices... Yes, both devices ring when that number is sent a facetime request.
    Again, anyone know how to change the number phone number associated with a ipad wifi only, for facetime and imessage apps?
    Uhmm, no, the number does not belong to the iPad. It belongs to the iPhone the Apple Id used on the iPad is associated with.
    If you need to change that number, then you need a different Apple ID that is associated with a different iPhone number. Note, the number must belong to an iPhone with an Apple ID, otherwise it won't work.
    The iPad itself has no number associated to it. It is linked to an Apple ID which in turn is linked to an iPhone that has a number. 

  • IPad mini (wifi) no gps?

    If the iPad mini doesn't have GPS, how can I 'FIND' it if it's lost of stolen?
    And how will 'MAPS' work?
    It was announced it would run 'ALL' iPad apps.

    Thanks Kappy with your assistance I think I now understand it. I am actually going to buy and install HEMA maps. This is the info from their site.
    Important Information
    Even though the cellular model iPads are the only ones which have built-in GPS circuitry, you do NOT need to have a mobile data plan and / or SIM installed in the iPad to use the iPad app. When you install the app, the maps are installed along with it, so there is no need to "stream" the maps off the internet while the app is in use.
    The app does NOT require an active internet connection while in use.
    So I guess that means that as the maps are stored on the iPad all it has to do, when not in cellular range, is use the GPS function via satellites.

  • Does ipad mini 2 wifi only can access to LTE signal by using pocket wifi 4g lte?

    Does ipad mini 2  WIFI ONLY can access to LTE signal by using  pocket wifi 4g LTE.,THANKS

    Hello Aaryn D
    You should be able to connect to that hotspot without issue as an iPad will see it within the Wi-Fi networks and you would not need the cellular model unless you want the iPad to constantly have a data connection.

  • Does Ipad Mini with cellular make calls?

    does Ipad Mini with cellular make calls? Is it supported in Malaysia?

    The best app I found is Fongo. Available in the Canadian appstore only.
    Free with an ads banner. It gives a free phone number. It allows 911 calls. You can receive and make free calls to most of Canada. You can receive free sms from anywhere and make free messages only to fongo users.
    Paid services are available in 4 packages:
    1-World Credits: $5, $20 and $50 Credit to make international calls and to canadian cities outside free calling areas;
    2-Unlimited Canada Texting: $1.99 for 1 month, $4.99 for 3 months and $9.99 for 6 months of unlimited Canada texting;
    3-Unlimited Canada + US Texting: $2.99 for 1 month, $7.99 for 3 months and $15.99 for 6 months of unlimited Canada and US texting;
    4-Permanent ads removal fee: $2.99
    The second app I recommend is Magicjack.
    Free without ads. Free subscription allows free outgoing calls to USA and Canada and incoming calls from MagicJack users. $10 per year to get a US number for incoming calls.
    Canadian numbers are avaialable for $20 first year then $10 per year.
    No sms services available.
    The third best app is Google voice and it alows free calls to USA and Canada. In order to receive calls you must subscribe from USA on http://voice.google.com to get a free US number. Then you can get an app called vtok from appstore to receive calls. This app will not give you notifications of incoming calls unless if it is running.
    Vonage is a good app for free calls to US, Canadian calls cost 1 cent per minute (used to be free).
    Skype is an interesting app that allows you to subscribe to different services.The best is the 2.95 per month unlimited US and Canada with the following options:
    1-A caller ID with your US or Canadian number
    2-Skype to Go Numbers (local numbers assigned to skype contacts and long distance phone numbers)
