I have an iPad 4 with no gps but lightening connector. Is there a lightening converter? and will this work with marine navigation software? Thanks

As far as I know, the Marine software needs to be designed to work with external GPS devices, and you'd have to view the Emprum website to see if the device will work with a lightning connector, and you also need to know if a lightning connector will work with a GPS device, they're mainly for audio...from the Apple Lightning Connector website: "Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported." If you get a yes to all of those questions, you should be good to go.

You need to already have a USB to Lightening cable such as the one that comes with iOS devices. This cable has a female connection at one end and male connection at the other so extends and existing lightening cable.

I'm sorry it will not. You will need a lightening adapter. The speaker uses the older type iPad 1st and 2nd generation connectors. If you choose to buy an adapter make sure to choose a quality one and not a really cheap knock off from China.

Yes you can. As a pilot, I'm using a Jeppesen Application for navigation on my iPad. The only problem is that unlike the Bad Elf GPS receiver, the Garmin GLO does not allow for more than one device to use it so in a two man cockpit we need 2 separate receivers.

Hi Burt, This is the seller, Beanworthy. Thank you for your interest in our HUD Speedometer. We actually stock three GPS HUDs (two of which being GPS HUDs and one being an OBD-II HUD) and they should all work with your boat as long as you have a cigarette lighter socket and a windshield. Of course, my knowledge of boats is limited, and it is hard to visualize just exactly how slanted your windshield is and what your dashboard is like. Our Sei GPS HUD Speedometer may be more flexible for positioning, due to its L-shaped hinged mount; however, it does not have Bluetooth functionality like this one. Another thing you might like to be aware of: the input voltage of the device is 5v; the cigarette lighter socket adapter automatically converts the 12v output to 5v. Should you ever decide to hardwire the device into your boat, please take this into consideration as you may potentially bust the unit if the voltages are incorrect. We hope this information is helpful. If there's anything else we can help clarify or answer, please feel free to write back anytime. Best, Beanworthy Customer Care

No, they never added a Lightening connector to the kit, so only traditional 30-pin Apple devices are supported, as long as they'll take the low power put out by the band, so basically iPod, pre-lightning iPhone, and iPod touch. You can find some micro-USB - Lightening adapters around though, and in theory that could make it work, but would be very inconvenient considering all the Apple specific power banks out there right now.

I don't have a gps unit, but it charges an iPad via the USB port and simultaneously charges my iphone in a charging cradle that's connected to the lighter adapter port. I would think it would charge your gps just fine. Hope this helps...

There is an adapter from apple to use with the lightening to 30 pin connection. I ordered the adapter and the system, so I sure hope that it works. Thanks for your reply.

i now use an IOS device with lightning. if i remember correctly though, this piece did not work very well.

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

You need either an adapter or a USB lightening cable. The manufacturer makes a version with lightening built in, though. You should probably look into that one.

Match your iPad Bluetooth to your ion unit, turn on your Bluetooth on your ipad and select ion. And yes there is a switch on /off for lights.

Mine did not come with an adaptor for lightening but that wasn't an issue when I bought it. There might be an adaptor available for it now.

Yes, you can use this. I used an IPad 2 for navigation while flying my Cessna, without any data plan. The problem was, it would lose my position on the map. The map would still be there, but the little "airplane" would disappear. After doing some research, I got the "Bad Elf" and have NEVER lost position. Well worth the money!!!! The LAST place you want to lose your signal in IN THE AIR!! (ha)

Lightning connector works with iPhone 5 and newer while the 30 pin works with the iPhone 4s and older. There are adapters to convert 30 pin to Lightning but from what I have read, they do not always work. Also, Lightening connector works with the iPad 4 and newer (iPad Air and iPad Air 2) while 30 pin works with older.

If you buy an adapter, you can put an iPhone 5 on the dock. The dock comes with the wider/older connection for the iPhone 4S and before. WITH THAT SAID, my light has NOT been working ever since I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7. The new iOS and the light do not communicate with each other and so the alarm doesn't go off and the light doesn't light up. It is extremely frustrating. So if you have an iPhone 5 and the older iOS, go for it!

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.
