    New Navigation Device iPad?

    If buying new, definitely get the GSM model. But if you have WiFi only on a recent generation iPad, the GPS module might be worth it over a new iPad. It was for me.

    Florida Hall of Shame

    My experience with Overlanding vs Off-Roading: Is the barrier to entry for Overlanding LOWER?

    IMO very few people in the lower 48 are overlanding. Most are taking road trips and camping instead of hoteling. Off-roading is clearly different from both of these. But call it whatever you want if it gets you off the couch and into the outdoors!
