REFLECTOR: iPad 3 RAM

[Scott Baker]

The portable companion gps is a great addition to the ipad, and if I am not mistaken, it is required for Foreflight geo-ref approaches.

The ipad is a lot more than an in-flight navigational tool with wx.  You will find a 1001 uses for the ipad when you are not flying.  For maximum portability I would opt for the the 3G/4G access.  If WiFi is available, so much the better - but I've been at many locations where 
WiFi access is not available.

As well the BT GPS is supposed to be more accurate than the onboard chipset offered. With the mentioned ADSB weather feed from Sporty's, the web access for weather would be handled, and we probably won't get 3G/4G data much above 8000 MSL anyhow from my research.
