GPS is kind of handy in this application Apple!!

In order to get GPS on any WIFI only Apple tablet they cleverly force you have to spring $150 more for the 4G version.
Then its not really cost effective ($400 + $130 4G = $530 for only 16 GB?? No wonder Apple have more bullion than For Knox).

I use my Nexus 7 HD with a piece of velcro stuck between the cover and the cubby hole. Then I share my
smartphone's 4G signal via FoxFi. No need to pay $30 a month just to have GPS capability in the car.


To the OP, you should consider one of these FiiO (DAC) portable headphone amps. I use it with my Galaxy Note phone. Huge improvement in sound. Now I'm thinking about upgrading the dash speakers for a pair of Focals.
