external gps for off the grid surveys

Wondering if an external gps unit connected to ipad mini 4 using bluetooth would allow me to see satellite image while in the field? Basically I would like to create a new mission while in the field where I have no cell or internet service and be able to use visual references off a satellite image once I'm out there.

No.  But you could cache map tiles before hand by creating a mission that includes an area greater than you will be working in and saving it for off-line use.  Then, in the field with no service, if the plan you want to draw is within that area, you should be good.

If, on the other hand, when you head out the door, you have no idea where you're going until you get there, and there is no service available, then you're probably out of luck.
