Dear all,

All the 3G Ipads have a built in GPS chip so if you want to avoid running a separate GPS unit I would get one of those.

Up to now I ran Skydemon on a 7" chinese GPS. I occassionally found the GPS dropped out with it sat on my knee.

Therefore when upgrading to iPad, I purchased the WiFi only version, together with a Bluetooth GPS. That way the GPS can be put in a better position. Hope to try the combination out tomorrow, weather permitting.

N.B. There are only a couple of known GPS that work with iPad, the GNS5870 and the Dual xGPS150A. The reviews suggested the Dual was better, so that was the one I went for. It pairs perfectly and on the ground seems much better than any other GPS I have used.

Dear all,

Thank you for your replies, it has been helpfull. After some research i have opted to get the new ipad with the assisted gps, and all i can say is that skydemon works percectly(im still using the trail version) but i would recomend it to anyone who is instested.


Thanks,
Jorge Lima

Sorry to be late, but I am running a wifi only iPad 1 on a RAM mount with separate GNS5870 GPS receiver with Bluetooth positioned with a clear view of the sky, and it's brilliant...
