wow! Looks like some folks out there already have XP running on the iPad. Could that mean Overland Navigator on the iPad too? hmmmm....
No reason why it wouldn't work.

, I won't need the 3G model or the $30/mo bill that comes it.
the only primary disadvantages I can see w/this setup is not having a SD slot or the ability to have APRS capability w/my 2m radio and Overland Navigator.
Craig, if I understand it right, a USB to serial connection is the only way to do this?
hmmm... possible solution to transfer radio data to the iPad from a TT3 or Tracker2? don't know about the baud rate compatibility though...

Note: All of my responses here refer to running Overland Navigator on an iPad running Windows XP.
I'm not sure I understand the question, but will do my best.
Overland Navigator will work with any COM port... Serial, USB, Bluetooth, other? I haven't tried it, but you could probably use a Blueport on the serial cable to convert it to a bluetooth connection (E.g. Serial to Bluetooth instead of serial to USB). http://www.gridconnect.com/blueportxp.html
An SD slot isn't required for Overland Navigator to run. You can just copy GPX files to the track directory on the HD instead.

Where does that one get it's power? It would be great if it got it through one of the pins as that would clean up the install and not require batteries like the one I listed.
My Kenwood D710a can be configured to output GPS (w/ APRS positions) at 9600 baud which is in the range of this device. Overland Navigator can support just about any baud rate.
Just so nobody gets too excited about this, it isn't really XP on an iPad. It is just a remote desktop session to an XP machine.
Ryan,
Yes, the currently shipping version of Overland Navigator is able to display APRS stations if the TNC/Tracker can output either $GPWPL or $PKWDWPL NMEA sentences (TT4, Kenwood D710a, etc). See the "Anyone using APRS" thread in the HAM section for a couple of screenshots.
Let's start a new thread or use one of the existing Overland Navigator / APRS threads to discuss it further.
