    Renting an iPad?

    This is probably a long shot, but...

    I'm looking at getting an iPad to test offroad mapping (nothing hard core, just not on gazetted roads), but not sure if it would suit. This is a must, and if it can't do it, I don't want one. All other features would be simply a bonus.

    Anyone in SEQ keen to rent one to me for a few days? I would commit to ensuring the device returns in the same condition, or else I buy it, and willing to put a deposit it on it to suit.

    Must be the 3G version so I don't have to tether a GPS to it.

    Apple have a 14 day return policy. Just buy one and return it if you're not happy Returns & Refunds - Apple Store (Australia)

    I can assure you it works!!!!

    A few others have done it too.

    I also use mapping, a forms program and a scanner that I now use at the mine sites...

    I'd rent you ours (hers) but SWMBO would never part with it.


    From what I've read there's some good "pads" coming to market very soon which will be cheaper, with better features.

    Good point - should have thought of that while they were open and had stock

    What apps have you used?

    I played with MemoryMap, Mud Map and Bit Map, but only in an office environment.

    Exactly the reason I don't want to buy one yet

    Idiot. And you would be the first to jump and down if you felt you were being mistreated by a retailer.

    Settle down with the name calling.

    I don't see anything dishonourable about doing this. It would be a legitimate test of the product to see if it fits a purpose, with the intention of buying it if it does.

    Doing it just because you only ever want one for a few days would be different.

    I imagine they would only accept it back if it's in perfect condition anyway, so probably no loss on Apple's behalf.
