Hi All,

I’ve got an iPad 4 with in-built GPS and I’m looking to get the SD application on a 30-day trial and then if all is ok to purchase SD.

I’ve come across a couple of reports that suggest the GPS within the iPad 4 may be a little limited and an external GPS unit paired with the iPad 4 might be a better solution. Amongst those suggested are the Garmin GLO, having the advantage of a GLONASS capability. This is a Bluetooth option rather then a direct plug in to the iPad 4, as would be the case with something like Bad Elf.

Anyone used the iPad 4 / Garmin GLO combination? and if so any feedback would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Alan G.

Runways - I agree that the Glo does have a very sensitive switch and often turns itself on in your bag and then disharges over time.

I converted another GPS pouch that I had by cutting a slot in it where the switch is so that no pressure is on the switch at all, and since then no problems at all since.

Many thanks nje for the tip. I will try that next. I feel my device stopped charging after a couple of trips.
