Bad Elf GPS & iPad (3rd generation)
by brett
Received the new iPad an hour ago - we've run some quick tests, and are happy to report the Bad Elf GPS seems to work just fine. Please note that we can't officially claim compatibility with the new iPad until we have approval from Apple under the Made for iPod (MFi) program. Based on past experience we expect this to be complete within 3-4 weeks.
What's that app on the screen, you ask? That's a preview of our new utility app, which should be available on the App Store shortly. More details soon!

Hi Gus,
Yes – all of our accessories work world-wide, and with the iPod touch (4th generation), so no issues there.
The Bad Elf GPS Pro would be great for your ecotourist trip. It would stream GPS data to any app running on your iPod touch, so you’d want to find some apps with good cached maps for the DR. You can also use the GPS Pro standalone as a datalogger to record your adventures without killing the battery on your iPod touch. It stores up to 100 hours of location history (at 1Hz), or you can bump the recording interval down to 10 sec, 30 sec, or 1 min and store weeks of data. If you turn Bluetooth off on the GPS Pro, you’ll get 32+ hours of logging per charge.
Our plug-in GPS dongle would also work with your iPod touch. No batteries to charge other than your iPod touch, but that device has a pretty small battery so you’d need some sort of external power pack (cradle?) to get more than 3-4 hours of usage per charge (assuming you wanted to track/record your entire trip).
Hope that helps! Feel free to reach out to us at support@bad-elf.com if you have any other questions, or reply here. And don’t forget to send us some pics after your trip ;-)
Best regards,
Brett
Planning an ecoturist trip in Barahona , Dominican Republic.
With losts of hiking and trailes.
Would the bad elf help me with my ipod 4 .
Will it be able to work outside the us like in the dominican republic ?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi Roger,
The iPad mini has a Lightning port, so it’s not directly compatible with the 30-pin Bad Elf GPS dongle. But it works great with either of Apple’s Lightning-to-30pin adapters.
Hope that helps!

Just a question… I have the original bad elf, looking to get an iPad mini2 this spring… Will my elf work… And what about the connection? Presently I just plug it in to my iPad 1.
Thanks
Roger
Can it support Papago apps? Thank you
