Buying an iPad 2-will a 3G model work for my situation?

I need to buy an iPad to do only one thing-run the navigation program CoPilot RV.

This requires GPS. The maps are downloaded so no connection needed to the internet. I can download the maps via wifi.

I have been looking for a used iPad 2 on eBay and want to know if, for my purpose, it really matters if I get a 3G or 4G model.

Trying to save some money on a 3G if I don't really need 4G.

I'll take other ideas but must be a full size iPad (no mini).

Thanks.

Me personally, I wouldn't purchase a 3G anything as I'm use to the speed of 4G, but that's just me.
