How to give a Wi-Fi-only iPad live GPS from your iPhone
Wi-Fi-only iPads don't contain a GPS chip — only the cellular models do. NomadTracks works around it: your iPhone shares its live position, and the iPad's big screen becomes the live map. Sailors use it as a chart table; overlanders mount it on the dash.
Install NomadTracks on both devices
Same Apple ID, both devices signed into iCloud. The iPad app is the same free download.
Enable position sharing on the iPhone
In NomadTracks settings, turn on GPS sharing — the iPhone becomes the position source for your other devices on the same network.
Receive on the iPad
The iPad's live map picks up the shared position: blue dot, track recording view and your custom map overlays on the full screen.
Use it where it shines
Below deck with the chartlet overlay while the iPhone sits near a window; on the dashboard with the park map while the phone stays in the mount — one GPS, two screens.
