I have a iPad 1 and a ipad 2 if your thinking about getting a iPad wait a week or two as the iPad 3 should be out,
With the android , it been better, I guess it's a matter of choice but for me the iPad works
well and the applications you need are all on the iPad.
If you are deciding to get a iPad, don't get the wifi version, you need the 3G version as the 3G version has the Gps, compass etc where the wifi version don't have these features.
With oziexplorer it is on the android but it is still on beta and the iPad version will be out in the future.
The iPad uses assisted Gps meaning it uses the phone towers for a quick connect but still use the satellites for your navigation. If no phone tower then it will be like any other gps system where it will take a little longer for you to get your location.
I myself travel full time around Australia and I use my iPad as a gps all the time.
It works and works very
well.
The progrms I use on my ipad for my travels are
VMS :- this program comes preloaded With SmartTOPO navteq maps.
I also have purchased maps including
Gregory and geoScience and iTopo maps
Using this you can choose the maps for your area with a click of a button
BIT MAP :- is another gps app that you can load oziexplorer maps (but not all oziexplorer
Maps are compatible) You can scan or buy maps for this software
METROVIEW :- is a app just like tomtom that will give you voice navigation note tomtom
Is available for the iPhone/iPad
GALILEO :- will download maps on the go from the Internet
NAVIONICS :- this is for boat charts and will give you all the details on the water.
Search for the names on iTunes to get more info on these apps
