Ipad GPS question

Does the ipad(wifi) has GPS?

WiFi version of the iPad has no GPS chip. The map application uses WiFi data only.

What's the BEST voice command iPad GPS?

I'm surprised this didn't get more hits when I searched, so forgive me for posting... but I GOTTA know as I'm falling out of love with MapQuest GPS app, which I thought was killer, well it certainly isn't bad and the price, right? FREE!
But I need something better and I'd love an app that gave me optional routing like MapQuest does online via browser but not in it's app. How odd. Are there any iPad GPS apps that give you multiple route choices? Car Navs do too.
I also think we need an S&M voice that beats you mercilessly if you make a wrong turn Kidding. Well, sort of. Really why don't GPS voices have fun?
But seriously, what say you Apple Discussions Crowd? What's the must have, don't even think of getting any other app, this one will change your life. Etc.
What is the panicea of voice command GPS iPad apps. If it maes a diff, I have an iPad1.
Thx,
Steven

Yeah I had it take me way off course once too. But usually it's been pretty good. But I kept thinking you get what you pay for and if you get one that costs versus free it may be better. I just downloaded GPS Drive MotionX but the interface is a bit complex where as MG is easier but MotionX got a lot of positive reviews so I thought I'd try it. I'm trying to input a trip and finding it hard to input a starting point that is not where you are whereas MQ is easy.
I'm sure it's there, but not obvious in MotionX. Should be a button for start and then destination. Seems evertything I do sets the destination and can't figure way to set the start point and the system defaults to your GPS location as opposed to a start other than that.
Every button I press the voice asks for my destination. I can't figure how to set a start point. Hmmm.
Maddening. Everything is about the destination. Can't set origination.
I give up. I'll contact their tech support to find out how to set start point.
Shouldn't be this hard or unobvious. Bad user experience. Completely unintuitive. BUT.. once I figure it out, it may be as great as all the positive reviews in the App Store say about it. I'll let you all know...

Will selecting 'Delete Account' in iCloud setting on iPad delete the AppleID account, or just delete it from the iPad in question?

Will selecting ‘Delete Account’ in iCloud settings on iPad delete the AppleID account entirely, or will it just delete the AppleID from the iPad in question?
I am trying to resolve a problem where someone tried to set up a second iPad on the same Apple ID account. I have partially solved the problem by creating a new Apple ID for the second iPad, but when I went to change the iCloud setting, my only option to change it was the 'Delete Account' button. I just want to make sure that I'm not going to accidentally delete the old Apple ID account because the fist iPad still needs to sync to that ID.

From the iPhone only.

Does the new ipad gps works without 4g reception

does the new ipad gps works without 4g reception?

Yes.
More GPS information...
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 latitude and longitude information to GPS receivers. 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.

Ipad 2 built quality / lightbleeding / gps question

hi guys,
i'm thinking of getting an ipad 2 64gb 3g - but i'm quite shocked reading - literally everywhere - about the bad built quality and lightbleeding. i know that forums rather resemble the bad news then the good ones, but the amount of complaints makes me think twice buying one.
but if i'd order one now, which production week would i probably get and how are the newer builds considering overall and screen quality? what is the word on the streets?
my other question concerns the gps function. i will not need a 3g internet connection but i'd like to use a navigation app. will i be able to use apps like tomtom or navigon without a 3g internet connection? what will be the forfeit?
thanks in advance,
joerg

In addition to the previous reply and just t be clear, if you want to use GPS on the move then you will need the 3G version even if you don't activate the service - the wifi only model doesn't have a gps chip in it.
And, if the equipment in your byline is correct, you'll need to update to at least 10.5.8

Ipad 2 gps question

Can I run the tom tom app on an Ipad 2 3G?

Does it say it is compatible with the ipad?
Look at the product description page.

IPad purchase questions.

Help please.....questions before purchasing iPad -- can I use it in the car as a GPS? And, where can I view a list of magazines available for iPad?

Look at the tech specs on this page.
iPad Tech Specs
To see what is available as far as magazines, you need to go to the newsstand store on the iPad. So, if you're going in to an Apple Store, just check that out before you buy it.

IPhone 5s Password and iPad App Question

Hello,
I was interested in purchasing my first smartphone and was thinking of getting the iPhone 5s. But I have a few questions I would like to ask before making a decision. Can you run an application (from iTunes) that is for an iPad and run it on an iPhone if the IOS version requirement is high enough? I am hoping I can run the "MyTunesProHD" App which requires IOS 4 or higher. It says that it is compatible with the iPad. But I would like to know if it is also compatible with the iPhone since it is higher than IOS 4.
My next question is concerning the Fingerprint Touch ID feature with the iPhone 5s. Does it have the option of using a standard password like the older iPhones? Or is it Fingerprint Touch ID only? If it is Fingerprint only I will choose a different phone (currently considering the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 as an alternative). Personally I don't like the idea of using my fingerprint.
Regards,
Joshua.

Hi Joshua,
The MyTunes Pro app in the iTunes app store shows that it is compatible with both the iPad and the iPhone. So, if the developer has made it compatible with iOS7, then you would be able to use the app you have already purchased for both devices.
You do not have to use the fingerprint security if you don't want to:

Master iPad configurator question concerning cart syncing with different versions of iPads.

I have a question concerning configurator syncing.Can the master iPad be a different version of iPad than the other synced iPads? For instance can iPad 2 be the master iPad to a group of iPad Air's? The iPad 2 has some fewer capabilities than the Air, would some settings or restrictions be left off of the iPad Airs if they were set up this way? Thanks.

There is no such thing as 'master iPad'. If you're using Configurator or Profile Manager control of the setup is done from a Macintosh.

IPhone GPS question

Hello Everybody!
I'm a new iPhone user and new at iPhoneFans.
I'm from Brazil and I have an iPhone 3Gs without jailbreak and locked to my mobile company (Vivo). Next week I'm gonna to Orlando. It will work in roaming, but I will not use data connection in roaming because it is extremelly expansive (about USD$ 15 per MB).
I would like to know if I have a GPS software like Tomtom, and if I try to use it, it will need some kind of data connection for the aGPS assistance?
And other question is, there are some GPS software that I could buy just adicional maps instead the full software for each "map" or country?
Thanks for any help.

Although the iPhone uses AGPS or assisted GPS, the iPhone includes a GPS receiver. The iPhone's AGPS allows for a GPS fix to be acquired faster only. It is not required to get a GPS fix.
Data roaming is turned off by default with the iPhone. Data access via the cellular network is not required to get a GPS fix, and if you have a GPS app with maps data for a geographic location downloaded and available locally on the iPhone with the app, no internet access is required for access to the maps data.

GPS Question [might be dumb]

Last night was the first night I used GPS on my phone, I had to pick someone up. Well I got there and couldn't figure out how to shut the thing off, it kept tracking where I was. Or as soon as you hit the home button an exit out of maps does it stop?

Geneticfusion is correct on turning it off by hitting the lower left target. But to answer your other question, it does turn off when you hit the home button to exit maps. That does not turn off the GPS chip, only the current "locking onto" your location. Under settings, you can turn off the GPS.

IPad Screen Question

Not sure if this is a silly question, but - my 8-year-old nephew is visiting and is totally into my (brand-new) iPad. Thing is, he has a raging head-cold... sinus congestion, sneezing, etc. I cringe when he sneezes or even just touches the screen. Anyone have any idea if the Apple-provided wipe will 'sanitize' the screen? If not, does anyone have any ideas of how to truly clean the screen? Thanks much!

Anyone have any idea if the Apple-provided wipe will 'sanitize' the screen?
What "Apple-provided wipe"?
Unless it says it disinfects, it won't.
any ideas of how to truly clean the screen?
To clean it, use a soft cloth.
To disinfect, use a Lysol (or similar) disinfecting wipe then use a soft cloth to clean it.

IPad Mini Questions

Hi, so I was recently thinking about purchasing an Ipad Mini for like an entertainment movie luxury for my mother instead of using my Macbook. I know that you can purchase an lightning to VGA adapter so we could use this capability but the real question is: Can I hook My Ipad Mini into my t.v, using an lightning to VGA adapter and change the iPad Mini at the same time? Please and thank-you and happy mothers day!

No you cannot do this although third party cables and connectors are continually appearing all the time.
However, to do what you are trying to do, it might be worth considering also getting an Apple TV unit. This will allow you to play out form your MacBook and your ipad to the TV wirelessly. You will also be able to keep it plugged and and charge it at the same time.
Whilst the Apple TV will cost a little bit more you will at least not need to buy the VGA / lightening cable which is also not cheap.
Something definitely worth considering and it is what I do.

Apple TV / iPad / TV Question

I have got a new Mac Mini plugged into my front room TV, with all my content on it, and am using Plex Media Server and it works great.
My question:
How do I get access to the same content on my bedroom TV?
Do I:
A) send a long HDMI cable though the ceiling ? (!!!)
B) buy an Apple TV box (can I then access Plex through that?)
C) use my iPad 2, plugged into the TV HDMI slot and then access Plex through that?
D) use a completely different manufacturer device (I've spent a fortune already on Apple products!!!)
E) something else
Please help as its doing my brain in....

C should work, assuming there is an app to assist in accessing the Plex.

Future iPad Owner Questions!

Hey everyone! I had a few questions about the iPad.
Do you personally think it would be worth at least $500? I really want it, but I don't know if I should go ahead and get it, or buy a laptop for around the same price.
Secondly, how do iPhone apps appear on the iPad?
Thanks, guys!

Hi Nick,
If you do a search, upper right corner, you will get a lot of threads similar to yours. A number of people come on here and ask the other users their views on the iPad.
First, is it worth $500 entry fee? To some people that might be questionable, but it depends a lot on how you will use it. As a book reader? Kinda pricey. As a device that does books very well, surfs the net, does email, gets the Weather Channel, can do thousands of apps - well worth the price.
Second, now that the MacBook Air is out, for a couple hundred more, you really have to make a choice based on your planned usage. The MBA is a terrific machine for not much more size and weight. Plus you can put all kinds of software on it. So, iPad vs MBA - go to an Apple Retail store and spend time with both. That is a very personal decision only you can make.
Third, iPhone apps on the iPad? The iPad gives you the option of native size or 2x size, plus many of the apps are available in iPad native mode also. There are so many apps, you are sure to find something that fits your needs.
Hope this helps...but go to an Apple store and spend time with it.
