We can offer you one idea of how to use an iPad with maps.

Check out the PDF Maps app for iOS in the app store.

https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/avenza-pdf-maps/id388424049?mt=8

With that you can load any georeferenced image or pdf onto the device
and do things like locate yourself, measure distances and areas, collect
data with attributes, export and import data etc.
The ability to load any of your maps onto a i-device and actually use
them rather that just look at them is a compelling argument for iPad use.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Ted
