There is no mobile data connection required to use GPS on land or sea. Once again your issue is the availability of downloadable maps/charts for the areas you will be traveling.
Sorry, but you can't install an app like NAVIGON on an iPad without 3G cellular data connection:
copied from NAVIGON app:
...can be installed on any iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4S, iPhone5 or iPad device (the navigation function is only available on the iPad WiFi+3G)
Can I navigate with my mobile phone?
Answer:In principle yes. For mobile phones there are both Onboardnavigation solutions and Offboardnavigation solutions.
The following requirements must be fulfilled:
•     The software must support the mobile phone. NAVIGON software
      always comes with a compatibility list. The software is guaranteed
      to work only for the mobile phones on this list.
•     The mobile phone must have a GPS receiver. Many new mobile
       phones come with a built-in GPS receiver. Otherwise you can use
       an external GPS receiver which is connected to the mobile phone
       by cable or Bluetooth.
•     It should be noted that an offboard solution incurs costs for using
      the mobile phone network to communicate with the provider's server.

  • Is there an app for the ipad that will allow you to access your mac.

    Is there an app for the ipad that will allow you to access your mac via wifi or cell network.

    Yep, two of the most popular apps are "LogMeIn Ignition" and "iTeleport." Check them out, they'll both set you back by about 30$ though.

  • Is there an app for the ipad that will put it to sleep on inactivity only when it is not plugged in?

    I know that native IOS does not support different setting for inactivity sleep depending on the ipad being plugged in.  Does any one know if there is an app that will do this?  I would like to keep it from going to sleep when it is plugged in but to go to sleep on inactivity when it is not.

    No. You would need to manually reset the autolock when you plug it in to do that.

  • Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes?

    Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes? The Ipod Touch, by itself does not allow cross-fading, therefore when the stop time is edited short, the song jusst truncates then goes to the next song. I tried the DJay ap and while it would crossfade, it would NOT read the song settings for the stop marker. So now I want to try and Ipad and see if there is an app that will READ the Itune stop settings within the song. I do NOT want an app that will allow me to DO the stop marker. I want an app that will READ the stop marker from the song as it is set in Itunes.

    Itunes provides the option for setting the Start and Stop times of each music track.  However, the start and stop times do not synchronize to the iPhone.  I don't understand why this option is even available as it doesn't work when listening to music on the phone.  I have not found another application that will support the start and stop time markets.  I have searched quite a bit for this but can't find anything.  I hope we can find something. 

  • Is there an app for the iPad that is similar to android's swype program?

    Is there an app for the iPad2 that is similar to Android's swype program?

    You're right, thanks. Nuance seems to be doing this for a number of apps; Noterize similarly has been removed after being purchased by Nuance. Time will tell where they go with all the technology they've purchased.

  • Is there a app for the ipad that lets you weight packets

    something that is free or is under 5.00 dollars

    Are you talking about packets to be sent by mail and you need to weigh them, or internet packets and their sizes/quantities?  I can't see how an iOS device can possibly weigh something, but try doing a search in the itunes app store.

  • Is there an app on the iPad that resembles Microsoft Office?  I need it for school.  If there is please let me know.  Thanks  :-)

    Is there an app on the iPad that resembles Microsoft Office?  I need it for school.

    The basic apple equivalent to ms office is called i works, which has three components.  Pages is word, numbers is xl, and keynote is powerpoint.  There are many subtle differences, but the are more or less functionaly equivalent.
    There are also a number of third part apps available to replicate office functions, such as good reader, docs to go, and my favorite, quick office.     Read the reviews in the app store and pick the one that will do what you need.
    You will also get some other suggestions here.

  • I used my iPhone maps it works very well. Is there an application for the iPad that could be used on a boat?

    I used my iPhone maps it works very well. Is there an application for the iPad that could be used on a boat?

    Indeed :-)
    This forum is riddled with questions by users that cannot get their computer to do what they want, *despite* the fact they use a very precise and (usually) unambiguous method of telling it want they want it to do -- a programming language. Making it comprehend *natural* language is, by any way of measuring, a number of degrees more difficult.
    That said: in what way would a computer program (advanced or "dumb") be able to help the OP? Spell check is one -- but it's not a *fact* that anything written *badly* equals nonsense. In politics, for example, the most eloquent speakers still manage to make a fool of themselves :D The same goes for "grammar". Of course, bad grammar is more difficult to understand -- EVEN for a human. So a computer is bound to fail on that as well.
    Fact checking then? I usually can't even find what I want in one go with Almighty Google (which seems to turn things around: if it cannot find "enough" web pages with the exact phrase you asked it, it automatically assumes you are interested in synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, and other *unrelated* stuff! Yeah THANK you but I want to find what I typed in!)
    A good starting point would be to define in more detail what this hypothetical software *ought* to do -- that needs to be a bit more concrete than "I want it to do my job for me."

  • Is there an app for the iPhone that allows you to syncronize alarm clocks or even set an alarm for you friend?

    Is there an app for the iPhone that allows you to syncronize alarm clocks or even set an alarm for you friend?
    Would appreciate if someone could help me with this. It doesn't have to be a free app.
    Thanks!

    Since there is no "drafts" folder on an iPhone for SMS's, not sure how something like that would work anyway. You can always copy to the notes app, then paste back yourself.

  • I would love an App for the iPad that would let me (us)...

    Open, Read and Edit Keychains created on my iMac or at least work across i platforms. That way I would have all my information, passwords, etc in one place. There are lots of Apps that will let you store info securely on your iPad but I want cross platform ability.
    How about it App Developers? I think their's a market untouched by anyone as yet.
    Dave (to busy to write it myself)

    Dropbox & Evernote work as a place to store data fairly securley as does a locked sortable Excel Database file. The problem with non-resident native appsor files is they are more apt to be bridged or penetrated than those on a locked & protected file on a local protected computer like my iPad or iMac. Plus it would just be nice if Keychains worked on all of Apples platforms. You would only have to enter it in one place if we had a Resident Native Apple App like Keychains. I put all my data in it years ago and have over 200 entries to transfer. Just wishing for a better more secure accessible at anytime & place native app like Keychains to operate across the whole platform. I want my info on my iMac synced to all my info on my iPad. I have photos of my motorcycle, VIN number and license plate in my database. I do the same for my guns, car, TV, computer, iPad, front & back of credit cards, social security number, yahtta, yahtta.
    That way if I need any information it is at my fingertips literally since I seldom let my iPad 2 out of my hand except when driving. LOL I don't even store or keep my personal keychain on my iMac instead I put it on a tiny encrypted flash-drive-type-of-device used by the FBI and CIA for transport sensitive data. It connects to my iPad via a special adaptor. I can lay it on my desk at work and people have no clue what is is and never even give it a second thought.

  • App for the iPad to show photo description?

    Is there an App for the iPad that will let you add a brief description to the photo and have it displayed on the iPad?  I have done an unsuccessful search to find an answer to this.

    For me the question is not whether I can export descriptions etc added with Photo Shack, but whether it can get the ones I have added in iPhoto on the Mac.  All my work is done on the Mac, and I only want to ust the iPad and iPhone to show the photos, with descriptions.
    Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

  • Anyone know if there will be a Garageband app for the ipad?

    I'd buy one today if I could use it with Garageband. The flexibility of being able to take it anywhere and record/edit tracks, considering it's size and the excellent screen, would make it worth the money to me.
    Just wondering if anyone has seen/heard anything about such an app. There would have to be a way to use the USB port as an input, but other than that, you could save the files the your mac but be able to move it around so easily...would be great.

    Apple has not announced GarageBand for the iPad nor anything similar but that doesn't mean that they won't release something in the future. Meanwhile, there are companies like Sonoma WireWorks and Krasidy that are already producing multitrack recording apps for the iPad or iPhone. Sonoma has a version specifically for the iPad, so that might be worth checking out.
    I haven't seen anything that uses the Dock connector to expand the input capabilities, but there may be something out there, or the new SDK may allow such a thing in the future.
    Regards.

  • Is there a camera for the iPad 1?

    Is there a camera for the iPad 1?

    There is a camera in the original iPAD but it takes photos from inside so you can transfer images from aps to the albums. Some of the less sophisticated art apps have you hold down the start key and the bottom simultaneously.  It will flash and maybe save what you drew or painted. Never a sure bet. I wondered about that camera myself but seriously how awkward will it be taking a picture with this thing? Get an iPhone. You 'll love it. Jury is out on MacBook Pro.
    Do you have issues with sound on iPAd I cannot hear anything on it or my Mac.
