You are 100% right--I stand corrected! I thought my wifi-only iPad had GPS but after reading your post I got to thinking and the last time I flew was back in August (had a partial engine failure) and haven't flown since. I then realized that I got this iPad a couple of weeks after that event and have not flown with it so have not seen it operate outside of a wifi environment. Had I flown with it, it would have been obvious I expect. All is not lost though, as I have a GDL 39 3D that I can use as an external GPS source. Boy do I feel like a moron.
