It does work the the Touch 2nd generation. No maps or charts are loaded. You will need to buy those in the App Store. It should work with NavFree. However, note the negative reviews of that app.

will this work with NavFree USA? If so then the app to run it would be free.http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/navfree-usa/id405922167?cjid=10492644-1225267-u0t2499803f4fp0c0s5814

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 haven't received my Dual GPS yet, but I assume that the battery works the same as my Griffin PB-RES1 battery operated iPod battery charger (not sold by Amazon) -- it will both power the iPod and charge the battery. If your iPod works while it is plugged into a charger, this GPS/battery will power your iPod.

I don't think so. I have a 2nd gen touch and these are new enough to be USB powered. The old "Firewire" 12v charged iPods that this is meant for were like the original Classics and such, I believe even before the color screen models. If your device charges a 2nd gen touch (which supports USB charging) then it probably won't make a difference for you. This is meant for older docking devices that don't support USB charging, to make them usable for newer iPods.If you have a device that charges your 2nd gen touch but not a 3rd gen touch, that's odd. I can see it being the other way around. I ended up not using the scosche. It worked from a charging perspective but had other issues. I don't think so.

I use an iPod touch (not sure which generation, it's a few years old), and it works great. If you have the newest generation iPod/iPhone it may not be able to be plugged in, since Apple changed over to its new lightning dock from the old 30-pin style dock.Overall this is a great boat radio. I use it on a boat in Qatar, and it stands up against the extreme heat, dust, and salt water environment here better than any other boat radio I have used.

You do not need an app for this to work. You just plug it into the charging slot on your iPod/iPhone and set the radio channel. It should work with your IPod 2 gen.

That depends on the mapping software you use it with. The software that comes with the unit will provide lat/lon and altitude at each refresh period. The mapping software I use provides location on the map, but no breadcrumb trail. My garmin unit and Garmin maps do provide that information, but I have not used the Garmin maps for the Ipod yet.

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.

Now I'm really confused. I bought this for my trip as well, not noticing that it "doesn't work" on the Ipod touch 3G. I have the 64 gb 3rd generation IPOD Touch. It is working quite well. I'll keep trying it over the next week and report back if it stops working. Now I'm worried that it will die on me during my trip.

Hmm i guess it says there is GPS in the title. How does it work?? I have this product. I also don't know how to update the information.

did you eventually get something that works for the ipod touch 2nd generation

Thank you for your time to reply mickey. I bought one for my son for Christmas so hope you are smarter than the Sony people. Actually, I talked to someone at Sears about this same model and the guy said it works just fine with the iTouch 4g. The only difference might be that there isn't a docking plate to the exact size of the 4g touch because it is so new, but it will dock and work in the radio. I will find out for sure for myself come Christmas day.

Seems it doesn't charge, although it will play songs/videos on the iTouch. The only part that may be bad for your iTouch in using this transmitter, is that the battery would drain while you play your songs/videos. More bad for you than the itouch device. So you'd have to recharge it with an alternate charger or though the usb cord on the computer. Suggestions for alternate product: FM Transmitter & Car Charger with LCD Screen - for Apple iPod / Iphone 3G / Itouch 2nd Generation / Nano 4th Generation - High Quality digital Sound - Automatically powers and recharges battery with car adapter. --I like this so far. Just wish it had buttons to preset stations so you don't have to scan each time to find a clear station. When you get a good station, songs play clearly. You would have to figure out what to do with the iTouch as it dangles from a cord. Put it in the cupholder? Find some sort of bean-bag thing like people use for their gps to sit on the dash?

Any app that requires GPS will work. No problem using it with the native Maps app or Google Maps. Pls note that I had problems with this particular device and replaced it with the Dual Electronics XGPS 150 which works well.

I can't speak for anyone else's experience, only mine. On my system it works. I've seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. I'd do a video for you because you seem skeptical, but my girlfriend has my Touch in Wyoming at the moment. It provides basic navigation control from the remote. She'll be back in town the week of the 19th (March) and I'll make a video if you like. The docking system was purchased in December 2010 from THE PORTABLE GUY and the 4g 32GB Touch in Oct 2010.

You should check with Garmin. They have made some sort of change since their new chartplotter will not work with older gps antennas. Must use this newer one. The reverse may be true.

Hey Dave,No, that's whats nice about this receiver. All you need to do is buy a GPS app that fits you, they range in price from about $15 to over $60. I use CoPilot, also I have an iPod so Make sure you have a 30 pin connector on your iPhone. If your not sure what app will work for you or if the receiver is compatible with your device just email Emprum at support@emprum.com They will probably get back to you the same day.
