Description
Utility app for Bad Elf's line of external GPS/GNSS receivers
This utility app allows owners of any Bad Elf GPS accessory to check the health of the Bad Elf hardware, view the GPS data being received, transfer and view trip logs, and install firmware updates.
Visit www.bad-elf.com to learn more about the Bad Elf GPS, GPS Pro/Pro+, and the GNSS Surveyor accessories, which add a high performance GPS receiver to the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad via the 30-pin dock connector, Lighting connector, or Bluetooth. The GPS data is usable by ALL location-based iOS applications in the App Store.
Note: Continued use of the GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Ratings and Reviews
Buggy
Gets confused if more than one GPS PRO is connected. Doesn't refresh when dealing with tracks. Inconsistent behaviour when sharing tracks. More nightly problems. Usually restart helps. Sometimes complete reload required. All saved tracks are lost very poor effort. Hope this come good soon. Device very useful when it works.
Lives upto its name
purchased a unit from the company and while it worked with my iphone it would not work with my ipad2. Contacted the support site and was essentially sent extract from their faq. Looked carefully at the unit and observed that the pin was not coming straight out of the plug and this was preventing it from making proper contact in the dock which on the ipad2 is recessed below the front edge of the case.
living in Australia returning unit was not a realistic option so filed a mm or two off the device around the plug on one side and retried it. Advised the support line and heard no more.
Worked prefectly and went on to function with my navionics charts to give me good positions and tracks.
Overall a great little device spoilt by poor quality control and assembly at the factory which had their not been a problem would have resulted in a higher rating
Big Improvements
This is a major improvement on the last effort. The data download from the Pro is now very quick. The new time zone feature is good (unless you live in South Australia). The interface on the iPad really needs some work, but overall I am now very happy with both the Bad Elf GPS and its performance on my ipad3 and my wife's iPad1.
Well done Bad Elf Team
