Finally bit the bullet and purchased an Ipad 3. I got the 16 GB version and I did not sign up for the 4G service (yet). I also purchased and installed Foreflight. Love Foreflight.

I'm aching to get a flight in to check everything out but the weather hasn't been cooperating.

Right now I'm a little bummed out that the gps within the ipad is not going to be up to snuff...I have had trouble keeping a fix driving around in my car, even with the ipad on top of my dash with a clear view of the sky. Ditto at home leaving it on a window sill. It hasn't been sunny so the device is not overheating or anything like that.

I'm hoping it will be different in flight but I'm not sure how??

Has anyone with the ipad 3 also added one of the external gps devices that are available? Is this even possible with the ipad 3 since it already has a gps?

Any advice?

I have ordered the invisishiled by Zagg as recommended in some other ipad threads.

thanks.
