Announcing the Bad Elf GPS Pro!
Today we're proud to announce our new product, the Bad Elf GPS Pro, a next-generation GPS receiver and datalogger for the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad.
The Bad Elf GPS Pro was designed specifically for pilots, boaters, and other outdoor enthusiasts based on feedback we've collected since we launched the original dock-connected Bad Elf GPS back in 2010. We didn't want to launch yet another generic external Bluetooth GPS receiver like those on the market today -- so we're not! Instead, we focused on packing a ton of great next-generation features into a small, rugged, and affordable package:
- Connect up to 5 devices at a time via Bluetooth
- Large LCD screen with backlight
- Extra-long battery life and 10Hz reporting rate
- Standalone GPS datalogger (100+ hours)
- Rugged and splash-proof to IPX4 standards
- Works with all location-based apps
The Bad Elf GPS Pro is available starting this week at the AirVenture/Oshkosh airshow.
Stop by our booth for a demo, and then visit one of these resellers to purchase a GPS Pro for yourself:
- MyGoFlight: Hangar B (booth 2080), Hangar D (booth 4108)
- Redbird Flight Simulation: Tents 208/219 (3rd tent from NW corner of Hangar D)
After the show we'll provide an update on when the GPS Pro will be available online and from our resellers worldwide.
Aviators: stay tuned for another announcement on Tuesday afternoon. If you're in Oshkosh this week, stop by our booth (Hangar B, booth 2125-2126) for a sneak peek!
Is a trade in program or other discount for those of us who have the original bad elf unit planned? Thanks for any info!
Brett,
Will this unit work with the wifi Ipad 2 and Navionics software? Will the tracking be as good or better than using the hard connect Bad Elf unit?
Thanks.
Kent
Hi Kent,
Yes, the new GPS Pro is compatible with iPad 2 (as well as the original iPad and iPad 3rd generation), and we expect full compatibility with Navionics apps. We’re seeing faster lock times with the new unit, and the accuracy is same or better. It does have a larger antenna and ground plane than the original Bad Elf GPS.

Sure! mygoflight.com will ship to you in Brazil. It will be a few more weeks before our other resellers have the GPS Pro in stock.
Thanks,
Brett
Will this unit be available in the UK Apple Stores?
