Notes:
• *Only the Wi-Fi + Cellular iPads have a built-in GPS, the Wi-Fi only iPads don't have a built-in GPS.
• Skipper cannot be used as replacement for Automatic Identification System (AIS).
• Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease your device’s battery life: it is recommend to connect the device to a power outlet when possible.
• GPS is completely independent of any Wi-Fi or Cellular data connection.
• An Internet connection is required to download weather forecast and maps.
• Maps provided by Apple.
• Weather is provided by Apple.

Didn’t save trip as advertised

I set I to record the trip and get back to port after checking it many times along the way and it was Going, that is until I got to port and open it up and it tells me that don’t have anything that was recorded. What crap. Very disappointing
