Yup. Ipad mini has no true gps. They make add ons for the old ones but none for the lighting connector yet

Couldn't you just get the Traditional Dock Connector -> Lightning Connecter adapter and be golden?

Hm..I bet so. I'll order one of those GPS plug ins and try it. Any of y'all use one?

iPad External GPS Antennas | iPad External GPS Receivers for Pilots

This looks to be your options... I have an old Garmin Etrex, I was trying to figure out if I could tether it... so far, no luck.

and another: Amazon.com: Dual Electronics XGPS150A Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver for Portable Devices: GPS & Navigation

We use Motion-X GPS HD. You can download TOPO maps before you head out somewhere, and it can import GPX files so you can pre-plan your route. If you have a 3G iPad, the built in GPS will work fine out in the boonies, no cell signal required, but if you have a Wi-Fi only iPad, you'll have to get an external GPS antenna to do your remote navigating.

These apps and devices have come a along ways.

Well, I downloaded Motion-X to play around with it on our up coming camping trip. So how do you down load topo maps using Motion-X?

 

[keatonskidmore]

Just ordered a Bad elf external gps adapter, and a ram windshield mount so I can use MotionX I also downloaded the topo maps to my ipad from motionX so hopefully I won't need to be connected..but if so i'll use my phone as a hotspot to make that work..
When using motionX is it like the same format as the OEM nav? Where your arrow moves along the route
