work with ipad mini wifi (no gps)?

great question, and I am an "old" ipad iphone developer. No, it is a usb device meant to be plugged into mac, or pc, or linux usb port. the ipad iphone doesn't have this. ALSO, once plugged into the usb device, you need software running on the mac, or pc or linux to interpret the GPS data. I am using three on linux and have tested on pc and mac. they are absolutely great, but no ipad support.

You will need the Camera Connection Kit that is compatible with your iPad mini. Then you can try the MicroKey25 directly plugged into the camera connection kit. I've gotten it to work without an external USB hub on an iPad 2. However, the MicroKey37 requires the externally powered USB hub (along with the camera connection kit).

No, and honestly, I don't think you need it. Bad elf was great on older iPhone iPads without built in GPS location capabilities. Mine is just collecting dust.

The item is compatible with WiFi controller. You need the separate WiFi controller unit (ASIN: B00HCLRBZM) that will allow a free iOS / Android app to communicate to these controllers.

The Apple IPad mini is sold with both capabilities. If all you want to do is run it off a wireless router, then buy the IPad with just the WiFi as it will cost less. I have a data plan with AT&T; that costs me $10 a month. And it works with my wireless router at home or away just great too.

The 4G cellular versions of the iPad Mini have a GPS, but the WiFi-only versions do not. All iPads have a digital compass capability, however there is no native compass App. https://www.apple.com/ipad-mini/specs/ There are several Compass apps available from the App store.

Yes, this works with the iPad mini without retina display. My iPad mini does not have a retina display and it worked just fine.

The GNS 5870 GPS receiver works over bluetooth with any wifi only ipad and others also. You can use it with any navigation app of which there are dozens. Also Navionics charts. I have also used Navigon and Igo for road navigation. Plus google maps, open street maps, Galileo etc.

Wifi is for the gps to get weather, gas prices & other features. Navigation works without wifi. You can use home networks or public ones such as at McDonalds. If there's a map update, then you use the provided USB cord & computer. Bottom line: if you never connect it to wifi, it would still work, but you'd miss out on the features that make it different from other models.

Hi friend As far as I know,Most of the maps can work only if GPS location is on. Yes you can use maps if you are using wifi or wimax but the moment you switch off wifi it will stop showing the details!

Siri says it does have built in GPS when it is connected to cellular. We currently only use the iPad with WIFI. Our cellular carrier doesn't service Apple products--go figure.

Yes, you could hook up either through the headphones port on the device, but you need an RCA to 3.5 mm cable to connect them. iPad mini should probably work through USB.

No! However, works flawless with my iPad POS wired to wifi router, over Ethernet cable. Hope this helps!!

GPS can absolutely be used without wifi access. I used this the other day on my way to work in my car. It's great!

No, it will work with any map app on your iPad without being in wifi range.. with wifi only the app used wifi signals to find your location, with a GPS blue toothed to your device it will determine where you are with the GPS. You will not be able to search for things like restaurants, you need to now an address of where you are going for directions.

From my understanding it will not hook up directly to your iPad. You would need to use a computer like a laptop to send the WiFi signal to it but that however requires separate software altogether. So not it will not by itself.

It depends. Apple has many products, only those running under IOS are not supported; but Mac OSX can work with this GPS device.
