About this product

Product description The Bad Elf GPS receiver plugs into the 30-pin dock connector on the iPod touch, iPhone, iPad and iPad2, providing high performance GPS data to ALL location-based iOS applications in the App Store. This Apple-approved accessory allows owners of iOS devices without an integrated GPS receiver (original iPhone, all iPod touch devices, the iPad Wi-Fi) to use mapping, navigation, geocaching, golf range-finding, boating, flying, driving and many other location-based apps. This is the best-selling Apple-authorized GPS accessories on the market that works with the iPad Wi-Fi today! Unlike most GPS cradles and car kits, this accessory is compatible with the form-factor of all past/current/future iOS devices, and allows you to continue using your favorite case as long as it does not block the 30-pin dock connector. See the Bad Elf website for a list of apps that have good "offline" support and do not require a continuous Internet connection to work. This accessory can use the Assisted GPS data provided by iOS when a network connection is available - but does not require it. The MTK chipset is known for its fast GPS lock times with or without this data.

The Bad Elf GPS delivers high performance location awareness through a 66 Channel, 10 Hz capable, WAAS compatible (SBAS/EGNOS/MSAS) GPS receiver. The Bad Elf GPS feeds latitude, longitude, altitude, heading, speed, and universal time into the Core Location Services to be used by any GPS enabled app. By plugging into the Apple 30-pin dock connector, found on the iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad, the Bad Elf GPS quickly extends the usability of GPS enabled apps that need accurate GPS data.

This means users will achieve a GPS lock in urban canyons, in the air up to 60,000 feet, in the mountains, and on the water beyond where cell phone coverage exists.
