If you order or purchase a WiFi only iPad you cannot change your mind and then use it with cellular service, for that you must purchase a cellular service version iPad model. There is a fee to purchase the iPad device and also a monthly fee for the cellular data service with a monthly data transfer limit.

The higher your data transfer limit, the higher the monthly fee. If you exceed your monthly data transfer limit, there are overage charges which can be very expensive. And, having a separate plan for your iPad means you don't risk eating up your monthly data allowance by using your phone as a hotspot too much.

Does the cellular iPad have GPS? To underline the point that cellular iPad is made for those techies that are constantly on the move and always with a tablet by their side, the cellular iPad models have their own GPS antenna for precise navigation. Not that people generally use an iPad for that, but since it is assumed you will be on the road with this device a lot — of course a GPS feature is a given.

Your regular iPad will use data provided by local public connections to get an idea of its general positioning — that's why you can still see its location in Find My. But it's location pinpointing is rough and it doesn't provide any directional data whatsoever. Thus, it can't be reliably used for navigation, even if you download a map and a route.
