As a expatriate South Floridian, I recommend Wooten's airboat tours on US 41, 90 minutes west of Miami. Stop at the Mikkosukee reservation and look at the ribbon skirts and jackets, a truly colorful and quite original garb. I also...

I used to live in Orlando in the 90s, there's a ton of stuff to do around there though I'm not up on the more recent things. It looks like there are a lot of good suggestions above.

I haven't tried it on an iPad mini or similar Android device, but in general I've found it to be much better than the dedicated TomTom I had before. It feels pricey for an app, but as far as I know it's cheaper than the equivalent dedicated satnav, and one less thing to carry around or charge....
