external GPS and ipad mini

[brunoferreiro]

Hi, i have a ipad mini 2 wifi only without built-in gps. Can I use an external blutooth gps or something to display and open the maps to make orbit in the app?

here is the type of options i´m talking about
GNS 1000 GPS BlueTooth Receiver for iPod, iPhone and iPad

The Garmin GLO works with iPads using a Bluetooth connection, but you still need to cach maps via Wi-fi before flying.

I've been having an issue with orbit the map doesn't show. But only in a certain area, where it used to show now the map image doesn't show anymore. But when in other areas the map image shows. Any help?

Nope, don't but that GNS 1000. I have the newe model GNS 2000. It is jumpy jumpy the positioning data if signal is muli path. The algo is kinda poor.

Get Bad Elf Pro+ with barometer. I have that too. Cost much more, yep.

I will never need Neo 8 GPS chip :) Solo's original one is awesome

Caution.
I have not tried both the GNS2000 and the Bad Elf Pro+ using Apple iPad/iPhone and 3DR Solo via bluetooth.
I like Android better, but now that the altitude sensing can only run on Apple, I guess my GPS toys get to be useful when the time comes.
