You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

There is no 8 GB iPad. But, all 3G models have GPS in them. The WIFI only models use WIFI signals to figure out your location.

to explain my answer, so that no one gets confused, the question originally stated "Does the 8 GB iPad have GPS?" The asker must have changed the question and now I cannot edit my answer. So I am putting it here. The rest of my answer stays the same.

The 16 GB iPad with 3G has "Assisted GPS", as well as the 32GB and 64GB 3G iPads. The Wi-Fi only iPads do not include the chip for Assisted GPS.

Nope. Sadly, it does not have GPS built in.

I sure wish it did. I really want my iPad to have GPS.

I'm going to need to pony up the extra cash if I want the GPS radio built in. One part of me secretly hopes that someone will create a dock connector GPS unit sometime in the future. I won't use GPS all of the time and when I do, i'll be in my car so adding a dongle won't be a big deal. When I mount the device in my car, I could just plug in the raido. Easy peasy.

I hope that TomTom makes some sort of $100 kit that includes both the radio and the software. That would work really well for those of us who don't want to shell out for the 3G and simply want wifi.
