You need a standard sized iPad - the mini and larger sizes aren’t allowed. I bought the latest iPad since I wanted it to last for a while.

Some regionals do allow georeferenced taxi diagrams. Mesa used to have it but I guess it was cheaper to drop it.

Of course, Jeppesen supports the function. I know that SkyWest and ExpressJet also do not have it.
