I have an iPad 4 with no gps but lightening connector. Is there a lightening converter? and will this work with marine navigation software?Thanks

I have an iPhone 5 which uses a lightning connector. I have the Emprum UltiMate App installed. I use a 30 pin/lightning adaptor (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter?fnode=85a911a1ea8105658f7152e19a3c12972c278498cc18e816e94eac0728426e0355442e35a7265ccdd5a964ec5896cf92d7272c8852204e352d12d21ec9c147382ae04cd608049dab301c475110dcb8c845c32d0c2f7c498b523b855eb2ac261215ada87ec754927d17ced04f5160487d) to connect the hardware. It works fine.

As far as I know, the Marine software needs to be designed to work with external GPS devices, and you'd have to view the Emprum website to see if the device will work with a lightning connector, and you also need to know if a lightning connector will work with a GPS device, they're mainly for audio...from the Apple Lightning Connector website: "Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported." If you get a yes to all of those questions, you should be good to go.

You will need to get an adapter that mates the old style with the the lightening adapter to make it work......if there is one available. This interface does not include it.

Yes, you can use this. I used an IPad 2 for navigation while flying my Cessna, without any data plan. The problem was, it would lose my position on the map. The map would still be there, but the little "airplane" would disappear. After doing some research, I got the "Bad Elf" and have NEVER lost position. Well worth the money!!!! The LAST place you want to lose your signal in IN THE AIR!! (ha)

Honestly, I don't know what that converter you mention is all about, but it does not sound possible to me. I know about MIDI solutions for iPhone and iPad which work really well. I bought an IK Multimedia iRig MIDI for my iPhone 4 and I am very happy with it (there is a new version supporting the lightining connector for iPhone 5, etc.). Hope this helps.

Bad elf adds GPS locating ability to your device. I'm pretty sure the iPhone 4 and iPad 2 may already have this built in so bad elf is unnecessary for you. I use this with and older iPad 1 and have purchased apps that include the ability to download naps for boating and walking. Try getting the google maps app and using your devices as is.

The Lightening Connector is the name of the charging and syncing connector for iPhone 5 and 5S. So this will work with those phones but not iPhones prior to that.

you can get an adapter that will change 30 pin to lightening connector, and it has a aux jack in the back, it does not work with Bluetooth adapeters. My advice would be to purchase a Bluetooth speaker so your not limited to the older technology of this unit. ecogear has a great unit for far less. it may not look as cool but it has nice sound, its portable and waterproof. plus it's wireless!

So sorry for the delay with this response... We use this with our iphone 4s and also with our ipad and it works great! I plug it into my Samung charger and then into the iphone. I am not sure what you mean by the 'lightening connector' as this is more for converting a samsung like charger to a 30 pin Apple connector, not an 8 pin lightening connector. I hope this helps!

Not very well with iOS 8 versions, I have 8.4 which is supposed to fix GPS lock issues but it still constantly loses lock with any mapping app (the Dual 160 app shows it has good GPS lock). Not sure if it is the Apple interface or Dual's, but this is definitely going to disappoint if you are trying to use it for any flight or driving applications.

Yes you can. As a pilot, I'm using a Jeppesen Application for navigation on my iPad. The only problem is that unlike the Bad Elf GPS receiver, the Garmin GLO does not allow for more than one device to use it so in a two man cockpit we need 2 separate receivers.

Pretty good. For some reason, was spot on in Portland, Oregon, and a little funky in the Boston area. I think it needs to be updated, but haven't seen anything from Pioneer about that. I might hold off if I were you. My Iphone has a much better, more up-to-date nav system and my car stereo guy says that the new trend in nav systems is to stream from your phone precisely for that reason. Also, if you have an iPHone 5 and want to use the AVIC-D3, the last I heard, they do NOT have a compatible adapter for the Lightning. The Apple adapter works but NOT for charging. At least on my iPad mini. Very disappointed. Pretty good. For some reason, was spot on in Portland, Oregon, and a little funky in the Boston area.

I have stopped using this device. Before you can use this with iPad you need to jailbreak it and download apps. I use an android and also needed to download the apps. It worked in android but reception was bad. You have to be driving around 10mi/hr so that gps can catch up with u. If I were u, just get a low cost gps from garmin! Tomtom or Magellan.

No. The adapter uses the 30-pin connector that was last used on the iPad 2. The iPad Air uses the Lightning connector. It also doesn't work with the Lightning-to-30-pin adapter. I have not been able to find an inexpensive Lightening-to-VGA adapter. If you find one, let me know.

I use this in a wifi only ipad. I use this device as a backup to a Garmin 430 while flying. I use it with a garmin application for flying. The app has all the charts preloaded and the bad elf just provides the positioning coordinates via GPS signals and overlays your position onto the chart(map). It works great, but it is only designed the receive GPS signals which only requires power and no data connection of any sort. A main point is that your maps need to be up to date before you disconnect from wifi or else you might find yourself being represented by a nice moving blue dot over a blank grey background.

Yes I'm using an iPhone 5. The lightening end goes into the 5 and the USB into the Nuforce.

I never used the cable with my ipad 3. I only used the cables with the lightening connector for my iPhone 5s and iPad Airs. I bought 11 cables and I found that all 11 cables failed to be recognized after 30 days - some sooner than that.

This has the lightening cable end on it. It works on my iPad Air just fine.
