[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 76809, member: 10850"] That is not correct. [B][U]The wifi iPad Mini 4 has no GPS antenna and no cellular circuitry.[/U][/B] Here is the link to the [URL='https://www.apple.com/ipad-mini-4/specs/']Apple specifications[/URL] page that demonstrates this. [ATTACH=full]8346[/ATTACH] Only the cellular model can receive data from a GPS satellite. Only the cellular model can accommodate a SIM card. The wifi iPad Mini caches the map when on wifi and [I]the aircraft supplies it's own GPS location data during flight[/I]. When the wifi only iPad Mini is connected to wifi it uses something called "assisted GPS" which is not GPS at all -- it's just an approximated location based on the location wireless access point (fake GPS).
