How accurate is iPad location?
When you use an iPhone or iPad to geotag a photo, the accuracy is about 100 feet (about 30 meters), because Apple only stores GPS data down to the nearest second in latitude and longitude. With our GeoJot+ app we actually store the full resolution of the GPS, which is the accuracy of a consumer GPS of 3-5 meters.
Do WIFI only ipads have GPS?
