Steve's comment above is certainly another option, I'd be curious to see how that works in off line mode away from mobile coverage though.
However additional hardware comes at a cost and if your iPad or android device is more than a few years old you're likely to be upgrading in the next year or 2. If so perhaps hold off and if staying with Apple get one with the cellular option. You shouldn't need to have a phone card inserted to use the GPS. Non cellular android tablets though, almost always have integrated GPS and are cheaper.
Cheers
