I'm going to make a recommendation to really know what you plan to use the tablet for prior to jumping on this Wifi version of this deal, or any cellular models. For me, the Wifi version of the tablet is slightly gimped because it basically has no functional version of Maps/GPS navigation that allows you to use it while you travel. You can tether it to your phone for Wifi but GPS apps won't work properly. If you plan to use the tablet as a larger screen in your car while you travel, I recommend the Cellular version. For most, Wifi will be just fine. It was fine for me for a long time until I realized that having a 13" iPad as a Carplay screen will be 100% better than most in dash screens and bigger.

When I travel and or go camping I use a T-Mobile 5G Gateway in my vehicle. I plug it into ecoflow, maps works perfectly.

Should have specified the Wifi version doesn't have a fully functional Maps app without additional accessories.
