The most accurate and reliable solution for the iPad, MotionX-GPS HD embeds the
functionality of an advanced handheld GPS unit into a simple and intuitive iPad
application. Use MotionX-GPS HD with your iPad during outdoor activities such as
hiking, sailing, off-roading, flying, geocaching, or exploring new places. MotionX-GPS
HD is exclusively designed and optimized for the iPad. While the WiFi iPad does not
contain a GPS chipset, many of the features are still useful in WiFi mode.

GPS requires a direct “line-of-sight” to communicate with satellites. Your 3G
iPad must have a clear view of the sky to locate at least three satellites in order
to give accurate position information. If you are indoors, in a wooded area,
surrounded by buildings, or in the back seat of your car, for example, you may
be unable to acquire an accurate GPS signal.

course of your track
(based on changes in
altitude).
Max Speed: Maximum
speed achieved over the

! For the Wifi-only iPad, distance and speed values may be inaccurate due to the
fact that location accuracy is only between 100 feet and 3 miles in Wifi mode. A
reliable GPS signal (indicated by a blue spinning globe) is required for accurate
results.
