I believe it's the same cord that you use to charge the iPhone. Instead of connecting the other end to the charger, you connect it to the iPad. I will wait to hear what the experts say, though.
After reading the posts here, I came to the realization that all I have to do is keep an extra cord in the glove compartment of the car; then I can use the iPad in restaurants, in the car for GPS, etc. I knew this was possible, but until now I didn't realize that it is such a simple solution to implement. This is especially true for me since I am in the process of adding dual car chargers to all of the family cars (so we can charge our variety of Apple and android products while on the road), which means I will already have the cables in the cars for the chargers!
The cables are about $20 in the Apple store. I decided awhile back to use only the genuine Apple cables, even though they are 3 times as expensive as the ones I can get on Amazon. I'm thinking it's cheap insurance that the cable won't fry my phone.
Edit: I found this Youtube video that may help:

Edit2: Ooh-ooh!!! Found this article that explains some of the pros and cons of tethering iPad/iPhone via USB vs bluetooth. Seems like there is always something new to learn about these new-fangled things!
