Does the Magellan Portable GPS Navigation and Battery ToughCase for iPhone 3G/3GS and iPod Touch really work with iPod Touch?

It doesn't work with my 4th generation ipod Touch, but according to others it does work with older models, 2nd and 3rd generation at least.

It does with the 3rd gen like they said, but the connector is hard to hook up, it's very bulky, and you have to have wifi to load a map. So if you go off the way they want you to go your map is gone. I returned mine.

Hi Jorge, when I bought my Tough Case I was unaware of the iPod model restrictions. Mine is an iPod 5 and although it is easy to circumvent the reversed top buttons issue I still cannot get mine to pick up any satellites.

Not really. I checked the accuracy of the GPS receiver against my iPhone GPS. The iPhone was far more accurate and reliable

Hi Tikla, all I can tell you is that I can't get it to work with my 5th generation iPod Touch. Actually it did show the right area one time but every other time it shows somewhere in California, never moving, and the unit always shows the red spinning globe icon indicating no satellite lock. The software I've been trying is the MotionX-GPS 20.0.

I do a lot of geocaching and the XGPS150 works great. The navagation program I mostly use is called copilot and it does have voice directions but I don't think that has anything to do with the XGPS150 but with the program. I have not tried it with google maps but again that would depend on if google maps supports voice directions. I am using it with 2 different iPads, a 2 and a mini and it works great on both. Not sure if this will help you or not but I hope so. PS, I am using iOS7.1

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.

I returned the Magellan GPS I purchased in 2009 when it arrived with a defective screen (speckled with black spots) and did not order another one. I don't recall what accessories came with it. I now rely on my iPhone apps for navigation (primarily Google Maps and Waze). Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yes it does but I recommend you buy the ipod/gps connect cord, it's about $30. Then it's about $50 for garmin app.

I'm in the market for a good portable unit for my fourth generation iPod Touch. I found these reviews/comparisons very helpful, except that I still haven't seen an answer to the compatibility question.J. Hansen

This is only a GPS transmitting device. Any navigation feutures depend on the apps installed on your iDevice.

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

Although I am unable to personally verify it, I believe it will work as well with iPod Touch 3G as with any other iPod. At worst, you'll need to connect using the stereo adaptor cable thru the head phone connection.

Sorry I have the 3GS, I know very old, but it works just fine. I don't know if the models have changed that much on the outside.

I have no clue. The case seems the same to me. I don't know about your Magellan

Yes it does work with ipod touch 3rd gen; I just tried it. The ipod gets a little warm during charging, but only a little.

I have an *OG* iphone 3G if you will and unless they have changed stuff on it since it first came out, I can say I have never had any kind of problems with any original cables or head phone equipment or it's equivalent. If it says it's supposed to work with the I phone 3G and it's put out buy apple it will work with this case.

Yes, it does. Actually that is what I have. I have iphone 3gs and ipod nano.

Yes, It works on my Apple IPad. I've used the maps function and it works great. If the GPS did't work the map function wouldn't work.

Lorrie, I have two Bad Elfs BE-GPS 1000 with lightning connector and they work wonderfully with my iPad 2 4th generation w/ retina display. I am very well satisfied with this as a redundant GPS locator. I am not sure about the iPad mini but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work to your satisfaction.
