Does it work with apple maps or google map on an iOS device, so I can use it while driving, when the normal 3G/4G connections are not available? If not then can anyone recommend a gps device that I can use to get gps auto navigation connection to these...

Yes, however if you do not have a chart or map downloaded or near a wifi to download once you move away from a wifi source and SHUT OFF the app the map will disappear when you restart the app so yo need to keep the opp open, unless its on a working phone for example that is working off a cell tower. Yes, I have used the unit in china for example but downloaded the map and went with it and it worked great!

Thanks! I will check out the bad elf gps receiver, maybe it would be worthwhile for my ipod 4g.

1. this product has paired with both of my android devices, running android 2.x and 4.x respectively. the bluetooth pairing is simple, but to access the GPS data within android apps, you need to set android developer options to "allow mock locations," and then run a small middleware utility on the android device. i use "Bluetooth GPS Provider" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mobilej.btgps&hl;=en but several similar utilities have all worked fine. 2. others using this setup claim it works with google maps, i haven't tried it.

Yes works great! Just never never ever update to iOS 8.3. There is a glitch that prevents using an external GPS

Hi Ester. That's the main reason I bought it. Wifi assisted gps on the ipad doesn't work in most places in our country and definately not off shore. This tiny little bad elf is brilliant. One thing you do need to be wary of though ... make sure the gps remains firmly plugged in. I had someone on the helm for a while and she knocked the gps inadvertanly and went for half an hour not noticing that the arrow in the gps wasn't moving.

My husband uses his with his iPad mini. I would assume that it should work with any map app but I don't know for sure. He uses his while piloting a plane...hope this helps some.

If you download maps to the device, from a number of different apps that offer open source navigation maps, then you don't need a wifi or 3g connection to navigate. However you will need to enter drive-to points while connected to data. Hope this helps.

Forget about the comments from Marcus Reisch and rhv100. I use it on ipad flying also using Runway HD ... and on sailing app isailor .... and on roadway using copilot gps app and it works fine on them all. Its brilliant not having to rely on wifi data, especially in areas where there is none.

It works with Touch version 5---would assume that it would work with Iphone5 (but why wouldn't you just use a GPS app if you had service?)

That is what I was trying to ask... Can I use the Emprum UltMate for iPad with Garmin s'ware? Or would I rely on Co-Pilot or Google Maps, or what do you prefer?

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

I've used mine outdoor and the GPS is disabled. Still worked (I was within WiFi connectivity for cloud syncing).

It sounds like you are looking for something to download maps to a car or maritime GPS. I am unsure, but I doubt it unless you have no wired option for connection. I use mine to connect to my forerunner GPS watch.

I'm trying to determine if my iPhone will be compatible with this unit before I buy it. Is there a list of supported phones anywhere? Also, is text messaging supported? I'd like a Bluetooth enabled GPS to read out text messages when they are received by a paired phone. Will this unit do that?

I have not used this with Garmin products. I have used it with the iPhone and iPad and it worked fine with both of those. If your device will run Garmin software and maps, then I would think this would supply the GPS location to the device which the Garmin software could use properly. I think the question is whether it will work with your device or not.

I use it with my iPad air wi/fi with the Garmin north america program. It works perfectly. If you are using it with a wi/fi model and you probably are since the cell models have GPS then you need a program that you download the maps to your device.

GPS receiver for my Ipad so I can use Garmin Maps without using and data from my carrier. Also when I traveling for business (real Estate) I carry it with me and create tracks that I can download for my tax files as support for auto business use. It works great!
