GPS for iPad.
Mornin' guys. I have Ifly on my iPad but the little airplane icon doesn't move. Is there a GPS available to plug in or a better alternative?
Thanks,

Check out the Garmin Glo; $100 new; connects to iPad by Bluetooth; get a used one for less.
Or buy a new iPad with the cellular service capability and you wont need any add-on gps. You dont have to subscribe to the cellular service.

If you build a Stratux (or buy an equivalent) it will provide GPS to your Ipad with the added benefit of ADS-B in.

Bad Elf
Bad Elf makes a plug in GPS module for the IPAD. It also has a charge port on the side so the IPAD can still run off ship?s power when using the GPS.
There?s also a free App from ITUNES that is used to update the Bad Elf?s firmware, set the charge rate (very important) and troubleshoot etc.

can you comment on how stable this is ? i build a stratux a few months ago and the unit started turning off the wifi and loosing gps after about 1.5h of flight NOT COOL
I don't know if it overheated or what but I didn't really make me very comfortable.

+1.
I use a Garmin Glo regularly with my iPad Mini 4. It can go several hours on a charge. It will work with both iPad & Android devices.
