I am planning on getting an iPad this week. The major driver for this purchase is to be able to do real-time nav and to study satellite images, to answer that persistent question, "I wonder where that road goes, it's not on the map". I can't carry enough gas or take enough vacation time to drive down them all. I am hoping that I will be able to cache Google Earth images or other satellite images (I don't know how to get those yet) to get a true birds-eye view of where I am so that I don't drive by something I'd really like to check out. I want to do real-time nav on a satellite picture - if at all possible.
My main question is: iPad Mini or iPad Air? For those of you who have done this already, which would you buy if you could do it again?
I am planning on getting the wifi + cell version so that I can refresh maps somewhat remotely and for the GPS chipset. No puck required I'm assuming.
What size memory would you purchase now that you have one and have found other uses?
Satellite images are my primary desire, is there a good source or program for these?
