Bob Are you positive that your unit has a built in GPS? I just upgrade my iPad from the standard wi-fi to the 3G + wi-fi and was wanting the unit w/ a GPS but was told that infact they do-not come w/ a GPS. There are 'GPS emulators' that make it work like a GPS but it isn't infact and gps. I can't get any 'gps' functions to work on my w/out the 3G operating.

As to external GPS units that integrate w/ blue tooth, what or where does one get such a beast?

REALLY liking my iPAD for in-cockpit work. I did an entire trip last night central Canada to Denver and return to Canada w/ two stops and didn't pick up a single chart book or map [I have them still, I just don't use them]. It doesn't get better than that!! Esp when going into somewhere larger like Denver Metro area and getting 'yanked' around a bit switching up arrival plates or approach plates is a synch.

Couldn't recommend it enough!

Btw, to date [only been using a iPad for ~4 weeks] I've not had issue w/ heat or altitude and I generally fly Fl240 or Fl250 w/ a cabin alt of 7-8000'

Fwiw

Hi Chris,

My iPad is 64GB. The disk capacity is 58.17GB, the difference is the
operating system. Foreflight uses 50.7MB, including AOPA data, all US
sectionals except Pueto Rico, AK,HI. All low and high IFR charts, all terminal
proceedure and approach plates, etc.
The built in GPS is usually accurate to 6-15 meters, and using it on a
kneepad in my twin comanche I have never lost signal. The
blog.foreflight.com, just recommended an external GPS as being more reliable,
but, either has a wire or Bluetooth connection and 2 models are Apple
approved.

I have 6.2GB audio (about 80 CDs, 2.8 GB photos 4.9GB Apps and 6.5 other
loaded, giving 39.2GB free.

I bought Wingx and have all the approach plates (georeffed), and Air Nav Pro
to try. Also a bunch of business stuff, and weather apps. None are needed
unless you want geo-referenced approach plates for situational awareness,
kinda handy.

I would wait for apples update before buying, the 2nd edition should be
better. Rumor is a OS upgrade is soon coming.

The blog, above, has a lot of useful info.
