I was very disappointed when the first WiFi only iPad I bought did
not include GPS capability. I got a DUAL Bluetooth GPS puck and it
works great. Actually a much better GOPS that what is in any tablet
as it samples many more satellites to establish your position.
As for the iPad power issue, with Navionics, you can shut down the
iPad to limit battery usage and the app will still track your route
which eliminates most of the power drain, even if you don not have it
plugged in.

That would be difficult ? there are too many.
On the Apple side, it is easy ? you need GSM (cellular) enabled iPad
(no cellular plan is needed), but the module is shared between the
GSM(HSUPA/LTE) and GPS.
On the Android side ? look for the specs. If it says GPS ? yes, it
is good, if it says ? no, don?t buy it; if it says ?assisted GPS?
don?t buy it , either, it means that it needs cellular signal to find itself.
