External GNSS/GPS receivers are often used in marine, aviation and vehicular applications - and can be either directly connected via Lightning or via Bluetooth.


BadElf and Garmin GLO are often recommended as they work reliably with all models of iPad (both WiFi Only and WiFi+Cellular). If you are experiencing difficulties with either, contact the manufacturer for assistance.
