You can buy it in much smaller counties, think I bought the whole of Wales for £15
1:50k is what I use for laning, and have never had any issues
Again the whoe of Yorkshire in 1:50k is £10

Likewise.
Just make sure your iPad is not just wifi as a friend brought a non 3G iPad and MM woudlnt work.
Mine is a 3G and even with nil credit on the sim it still works for MM
You need a cellular iPad to use GPS.
The whole of the GB 1:150 maps are currently £60 on memory map website. Install these on the iPad and you don't need to download the maps when you're halfway up a mountain with no Internet connection.

Just to clear things up.
I use memory Map and have the Whole of the UK (except Northern Ireland) on my android phone and I can find my exact location anywhere without a Data connection/Mobile Phone signal. Its also available for Iphone/Ipad and the UK Complete 1:50,000 OS map only takes up 2.23Gb.
It also shows a range of stats speed/altitude/distance travelled/Time you are actually moving/avg speed/Max speed etc etc Just run it up now and it estimates my position accuracy to within 82ft!
In my opinion its brilliant and Ideal for my requirements.
If you want a free one try Maverick it will allow you to cache maps for an area in case you loose connection.
oh and btw you DON'T need a cellular connection to use the GPS!

What FK said is right. You need a cellular ipad to use GPS.
You don't need a signal to get your GPS position but you need a cellular ipad.
The wifi only only iPad DOES NOT have the hardware to locate you via GPS.
Location service will only work on a 3G ipad
iPad 2 - Starting at £329 - White or Black with Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi + 3G - Apple Store (UK)
