The Bad Elf GPS (BE-GPS-1000), an external GPS receiver, plugs
directly into to your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad through the
30-pin dock connector. It then supplies direct satellite GPS data
to Core Location Services, which GPS enabled Apps use when they
run.
The Bad Elf GPS delivers high performance location awareness
through a 66 Channel, 10 Hz capable, WAAS compatible
(SBAS/EGNOS/MSAS) GPS receiver. The Bad Elf GPS feeds latitude,
longitude, altitude, heading, speed, and universal time into the
Core Location Services to be used by any GPS enabled app. By
plugging into the Apple 30-pin dock connector, found on the iPod
touch, iPhone, or iPad, the Bad Elf GPS quickly extends the
usability of GPS enabled apps that need accurate GPS data. The
Bad Elf GPS does not rely on cell tower assisted GPS to achieve a
lock or determine position; instead it receives data directly
from the GPS satellites. Locking on up to 15 satellites, the Bad
Elf GPS supplies GPS position updates up to 10 times per second
that can be accurate to within 9 feet (2.5 meters). This means
users will achieve a GPS lock in urban canyons, in the air up to
60,000 feet, in the ains, and on the water beyond where cell
phone coverage exists.
The Bad Elf GPS accessory includes a micro-USB port and one meter
cable for pass through charging and syncing. Power or sync an
iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad while using the Bad Elf GPS. No need
to worry about losing power on long trips, just use the vehicle’s
power supply. Download the Bad Elf Utility App from Apple’s app
store; it displays and details position, accuracy, and satellite
data feeds. Use the Utility App to configure your Bad Elf GPS
experience. Change the rate of data refresh, set the unit of
measure and personalize your device. The Bad Elf GPS allows
people to use GPS enabled apps without the need for expensive
monthly data plans, or upgrading to more expensive 3G/4G
broadband wireless radio devices just to get GPS functionality.

track your flight plan and find that small island airport. Employ
your favorite marine navigation app to navigate the bay channel
or return to that favorite fishing spot. Start up your favorite
fitness app to track your route, pace and distance. your
device ready with your favorite driving app for turn-by-turn
directions or to find that point of interest you always wanted to

various lifestyles, the Bad Elf GPS is ready to supply your
position quickly and accurately.
