I have an iPad4 (no internal GPS) with the GNS1000 external GPS.
It just won't work, the aeroplane symbol is yellow for a few seconds, then red.
I've tried turning location service off and on, and resetting the location.
I've also power cycled my iPad.
I have the latest version of IOS.
The GNS1000 has GPS lock and Bluetooth communication with the iPad.
I've tried resetting the GNS1000.
Nothing works - has anyone else solved this problem?

Regards,
Terry

The coloured triangles indicate that the altitude readout is likely to be accurate within a certain distance. For example a blue triangle means that the position may be accurate to within 50ft, while green means within 100ft, yellow within 150ft, orange within 250ft and red for a more unreliable altitude reading. Just remember that the iPad uses GPS to find your horizontal and vertical position, and so the altitude instrument is not going to be as accurate as a real altimeter.

You may find that you often see the blue triangle when your iPad has an additional wifi or 3G signal to help find a more accurate fix using network data in addition to satellite information.

                         Hi, press the Home Button + OFF Button at the same time for at least...

                             That certainly works, but why ? What have Apple done to mess it up.
