The iTabNav company sent me information regarding all current owners of a GPS Bluetooth-powered for iPad Wi-Fi, like the GNS2000 or BadElf.
Currently Apple iOS 8.3 No longer working with external Bluetooth GPS receivers. It seems that the Apple Location Services in latest version iOS 8.3 doesn't transmit the GPS data Received from these GPS GNS2000 to the application for navigation.
Apple Inc. is aware of this bug iOS and Promises A solution as soon as possible. I hope that this issue will be resolved in the coming days.
Multiple manufacturers applications for navigation Have Warned before The update iOS 8.3 like BadElf, see : http://bad-elf.com/blogs/bad-elf/18013536-alert-compatibility-issue-with-apple-ios-8-3-and-external-gps-receivers
Let's hope for the affected users that an iOS version 8.3.1 will quickly fix this bug. We can hope so because an update should quickly fix another bug that is much more important for Apple : the troubleshoooting of the Touch ID on many devices.
I have a garmin glo and can report that an update of the software from Garmin’s website to version 2.7 sorted this problem for me and is now working again with iOS 8.3.
East – that no external bluetooth gps works on IPad 3 mini version 8.3 ?
I have a GSN 2000 is there anything else to do to get the GPS position on Time Zero,
than wait and pray that the next Apple version is correct ?
Thank you and congratulations on your blog, you help a lot of people !
Sincerely.
Garmin has a firmware update for the GLO and 2000.
Bonjour,
A question completely unrelated to this bug. I have been browsing with a MacBook Pro for a long time (currently under Yosemite 10.10.3), and an OpenCpn version 4 who would like to be put in contact with GPS data. Unfortunately the MacBookPro does not have GPS. For their part, my iPhone 5 and especially my iPad wifi cellular have good GPS, but no OpenCPN. Is there a solution to transfer GPS data from my iPad (or maybe my iPhone) to the OpenCPN of my MacBookPro ?
Should you download software on the iPad – and if so which ones ? And maybe also on the Mac (and there also which ?).
I think I'm not alone asking myself this question…
Thanks in advance, and again congratulations for your blog
Philippe

But it's a bastard solution. Better a USB or Bluetooth GPS :

For Bluetooth, be careful :

I had this problem with my Garmin GLO… In fact, all I had to do was update it on the Garmin UPdater site and it works again. ! For information at Garmin they told me to go to their Garmin express site but it is not taken into account there. It was Orbitica where I bought it that solved the problem for me. !
Yet another iOS to come ? This increases the risk of losing your cards (is this wanted ?), which of course, in the meantime, can no longer be re-downloaded for free. I hesitated to move on to 8.3, but strangely, with previous version, I could no longer update applications easily via wifi, forced to go through the PC. C’est donc à regret que j’ai mis à jour mon iOS. 🙁
J’en reparlerai dans quelques jours.
fin heureuse. Historique de l’affaire.
J’ai constaté par pur hasard un bug sur une carte, que je n’aurais pas découvert si je n’avais pas connu la zone, et qui m’aurait fait passer sur les cailloux
J’avais déjà consulté cette zone d’autres fois, il n’y avait pas ce bug. Il y avait donc cette fois du bleu (water temperature) là où il n’y en a pas en réalité, sur la dune entre la Pie et la Chambre, aux Glénan. I guess 200 bateaux au mouillage en train de se marrer en me voyant perché là-haut. I changed the safety water heights to try to resolve the problem, it didn't change anything. I turned off the device, relit, always blue. I then wanted to restore my so-called backup made on my PC via iTunes. It doesn't work, and now I don't have a card at all. I wanted to re-upload it on Xtraverse, my account is expired.
I don't know what happened, here is the history of the facts.
1) Message for a new iOS. I go beyond, because every time, we lose what we have painfully mastered. And with the vague impression that one day, these will be my applications will no longer be adapted to the new iOS,
2) On the other hand, I update my applications, Inavix, Wheater, ayetides. Gold, this time, the update link does not work for any. I put it down to a slow connection., I will see later.
3) Still no way to update apps, despite the fact that this time I am near the box.
4) I blame this problem on the fact that I don't have the new Omo micro (pardon, iOS), and I resolve to update iOS
5) estimated download time that day (leaning against the box) 13 hours steps. I stop updating. I try my applications, they are all there, and work. Happy
6) I resolve to do without this new iOS once and for all, and I update applications via PC via Itune.
7) I then discovered the bug. Due to iOS update interruption ?
X-traverse contacted, reactivated my cards during the day. I tried the different folios for the same area, everything is OK.
