Connecting a GPS to an iPad


Changed

Recommended Posts

Take the leap and up grade to the 3G iPad it has GPS built in and is the best option with Navionics. Then you get to read crew.org when you get to the destanation. You dont need to have a sim in for the GPS to work.

Just a bit tight really. Get all the data through hot spotting the phone. Navionics works well on the phone so would like same on pad.

I've seen the Navionics app working on a wifi only iPad when "hot spot" connected to a phone with GPS. Have you tried that? Downside is using up the battery on both devices at the same time.

Yes I have. With no luck. Is the iphone 5s different to the 4s?

Possibly if they're on different versions of iOS. Maybe try hotspot by bluetooth compared with wifi.

Have a look for a Bluetooth connected GPS rather than WiFi. The Garmin GLO should work fine but there are cheaper ones around too. There are also a few apps that let you share a phones GPS via Bluetooth.
