NOel,
I think you hit the nail on the head. You'd have less battery drain if you used
an external receiver, and you'd theoretically have better accuracy. But you'd
also have to carry an extra little device. And if you're happy with the iPhone
and no extra receiver, and battery drain hasn't been
What would be advantages of using a bt GPS receiver vs the built in
iPhone 5 receiver? Less drain on iPhone battery? Accuracy?
I regularly get 13 ft accuracy which is much better than my old 5 but
I had a bt GPS I used with my trekker and it was ok, great for its
time

The 747 would be a bit more expensive because it also has logging capabilities.

There is nothing official on that yet. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

So what were the Sendero group going on when they said you'd have to pay
something for a year or the same for three years?

Here's the thing: to work with iOS, a bluetooth receiver has to be certified by
Apple. Some are, and most aren't which is why some work and some don't. A quick
google search should provide a list of compatible receivers. Again, though, if
the Sendero app does not cache maps, this is all moot sin
The receivers are standard, and Mike, I bet when you bought some or all of
those receivers, they were not 20 bucks. I have an iblue 747, for instance, and
it didn't cost me 20 bucks. I haven't checked the prices of the two that Cara
mentioned lately, but they are bluetooth and they are standard
Wonder how much those receivers are. Are they bluetooth? I have several
bluetooth receivers that do not work, the holux 1000, the qstarz 818,
and the iblue 737. These use mtk chip sets which are quite accurate.
Each receiver costs around $20

Hi Mike, can you clarify your comment about the external receivers not working
with iDevices?
Obviously the Dual Electronics XGPS and Garmin GLO both work quite nicely with
the iDevices and they are standard units. What did you mean to say?
Thanks a bunch and have a great day!
Smiles,
Cara :)
I doubt it will require an external device. And, the standard bluetooth
GPS receivers do not work with the i devices anyway.

Not at all. The app will work with gps on phones and cellular-enabled iPads.
You only need a receiver if you have a wifi-only device, and even then the app
won't work right if it does not cache maps locally. Any server-based gps app,
as many of them are, requires a constant data connection to wo
Well you can acquire an external GPS receiver, it is not required and will not
be required.

Cheree Heppe here:

the purpose of using it with modern technologies such as the i-devices? Why

There is a commercially available app called waze, that'
Hi Kawal,
If you have a built-in GPS receiver such as is the case with the iPhone, you
won't need an additional receiver.

I'm waiting for this App too and hope we can use it without having to buy an

We don't know that yet. I know they are testing/developing it, but no details
have been released. When it hits, it will be everywhere, so you definitely
won't miss it.
