Yes you can use GPS on a boat. You must download the charts of the area you will be sailing in to your iPad before leaving. Keep in mind that the iPad is very hard to view in bright sunlight.
Of course my response assumes you have the correct iPad model that has the GPS hardware. The wifi-only iPad does not contain GPS hardware.

  • "lost" my iPad.  Will the GPS still work after battery dies?  Also, how can I get the serial number for police report?

    Please help!  I "lost" my iPad at a local store.  The GPS on my phone shows the iPad is still in the store (over 24 hours.)  I've searched every square inch of the store and cannot find it.  I fear it may have been "stashed" by an employee.  The police need a serial number for a report.  How do I get that?  Will I still be able to locate it via GPS after the battery dies?

    Did you register it with Apple? If not, you would have had to write it down. Once the device goes out of wifi or if the thief turns wifi off...its gone. All they have to do is restore it as new, you wont be able to detect it again. Sounds bleak I know but its hard to get it back once its gone...no matter what Apple says.
    I really hope it turns up...I hate thiefs. Best of luck.

  • Using an iPhone4 with no Service plan...does the GPS still work?

    If you take an iPhone 4 that does not have a Cell plan at all, and use it like an iPod Touch, will the GPS still work?  Obviously, the assisted GPS portion will not work, but we're looking to use certain apps that measure distance via GPS (specifically, running apps like Zombies Run).  These apps will run on an iPod Touch, but the absense of a GPS chip means that certain features are disabled or not quite as accurate.  We have no intention of ever purchasing a cell plan for the phone, we're just looking to get an iPod Touch with GPS built in to it.

  • My iPhone 5 screen is black and will not come back on. The phone still works when paired with my vehicles Bluetooth what's wrong with it, and can I fix it?

    My iPhone 5 screen is black and will not come back on. The phone still works when paired with my vehicles Bluetooth what's wrong with it, and can I fix it?

    I have a similar problem.  I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS.  After completing the process the phone never restarted.  The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon.  I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone.  The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads.  iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does.  I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery.  This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help.  A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged.  She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on.  I don't think it is a battery issue.  The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone.  Repairing it was out of the question.  At this point the phone is completely useless.  Thanks in advance for the help.

  • I can't find isight under the software, also, i tryed to restart  and still  the camra not working. do you have alink to download isight?

    i can't find isight under the software, also, i tryed to restart  and still  the camra not working. do you have alink to download isight?

    Click on the Apple symbol in the top left of the screen and select About this Mac. Click on More Info and scroll down to the USB entry under hardware. Does it list the 'Built in iSight' in the top right hand pane?
    If it does, what happens when you run the Photo Booth application?

    If you jailbreak your ipod touch and crack the screen will the warrenty still work? Also, would the warrenty fix the screen? Would it cost money? Its a 5th gen.

    Once you jail break Apple won't help with the machine. I'm not even sure if they'll honor an 'out of warranty' replacement.

  • Will my programs still work when upgrading to 10.6?

    I am using a MacPro with 10.5 and I want to upgrade to 10.6 but the thing is that I have some programs that I use continuously but I didn't pay for them (if you know what I mean...). Will these programs still work when I upgrade to 10.6?

    10.6 is Intel only. To continue the use of older non-Intel software, that software must work with Rosetta emulation (which almost evrything does). Be sure that when you are installing 10.6, the option to add Rosetta emulation to Mac OS X 10.6 is selected.
    I do not know what you mean by your comments, but if this computer is being used for Business purposes, you are taking a huge risk that someone can come after you Business profits.

  • A relative synced my iphone with his laptop without me knowing. It had a passcode on the phone but the sync still worked. I have since found out he is quite IT knowledgeable and has been known to track other peoples phones.  How is this data useful to him

    A relative synced my iphone with his laptop without me knowing. It had a passcode on the phone but the sync still worked. I have since found out he is quite IT knowledgeable and has been known to track other peoples phones that he wants to know information about.  How is my data useful to him and can he restore this data on another iPhone and run it parallel to mine? I have had people send me messages which I have not received. These have been screen shot to me later including time and I have just not got them. I had 4 weeks worth of messages go missing from my phone..I know that he synced my phone because his work laptops I'd came up in my settings. Also if the above can be done can he change the settings on my actual phone and access my location without placing tracking software on my phone.  Can someone please help here as I can't restore a backup to my phone for obvious reasons and refuse to change my number because of this loser.

    Connect the device to the computer.
    In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.

  • I have an iPad 1st generation that no longer has working volume buttons but every once in a while the sound turns on.  So I know the speakers still work.  I have tried resetting all settings and made sure that my side switch was auto lock not auto mute.

    I have an iPad 1st generation that no longer has working volume buttons but every once in a while the sound turns on.  So I know the speakers still work.  I have tried resetting all settings and made sure that my side switch was auto lock not auto mute. I have tried the mystical swiping upward on the screen with 4 fingers to get some special sound menu (which I never succeeded in getting).  My headphone jack doesn't work all the time either so some times my kids can hear their games and sometimes they can't.  I am super frustrated at this point.  So any suggestions would be great.  Am I missing something basic or do we just have a soundless iPad now?

  • Does the gps still work iphone if not connected to internet

    so some kid took my iphone5 out off my hand and passed it around at lunch and now i dont know what to do i put it in lost mode then it went offline can i still find it even when its offline

    The GPS works if the phone is still powered on, but if there is no internet connection, either cellular or Wi-Fi, then you will not be able to track it. If you did not have a passcode on the device, then change the passwords on all of the accounts you have on the phone. More than likely the device is powered off, which is why you are seeing the offline message.

  • Does the GPS function work if you are out of cellular & wifi range?

    How does the aGPS function of the iPhone 3G work? Do you have to have a cellular or wifi connection to be able to get a location fix, or will GPS satellite signals-only be sufficient?

    Question?
    Answer.
    If you don't have EDGE, or 3G, how is the iPhone MAP app going to download the map?
    It won't, as it can't.
    I don't believe they are built in.
    You believe right.
    This is why Apple needs to let someone build a true GPS app for the iPhone, which you can download the maps to the phone.
    Maybe. But this was not the question. The question was, if the iPhone 3G would be able to find it's location even without WiFi and cellular network. And yes, it would find the location. The question was not if it would be able to display that location in the Maps app.
