No 4G so planning to do like Bruce does and use the 3G off my HTC smartphone

One thing to be mindful of is that the iPad mini wifi edition does not come with an integrated GPS chip. So If you want to use the iPad itself for gps you will need to get the 4g capable version.

I'm not sure if tethering to your htc will allow the iPad to get location and use navigation apps.... Something to look into
