GPS data not available to apps after iOS 8.3 update

Considering that's several companies like Dual and Bad Elf, I'd say no. Good try though.

That is referring to the use of those devices. It is not referring to all types of flying. My father, brother-in-law, etc. are all pilots. None of them use the iPad combination.

One more thing, could you share with us what Apple Customer Service said when you called them?

Did this already. (Aside from "compensation") 😁

If it were me I would call them back and discuss compensation. This is the advantage of being a small group. See if they will give you an Apple Store Gift Card for your troubles.

AS much as I am a fan of free stuff, that's not really my objective. Thanks anyways though

Didn't in any way think that, you could call and confirm the release but you should receive some compensation for this occurring. That would only be fair.

Have you updated your Garmin GLO's firmware to v,2.70? My Garmin GLO works with iOS 8.3 on an iPad 4g wifi model once I updated the Garmin firmware.

Does Garmin GLO work well with ForeFlight? If so, I may replace my Bad Elf with GLO instead of waiting for Apple to fix IOS

And another comment from Bad Elf staff....

BRETT @ BAD ELF

Nobody knows for certain if this iOS bug was in the 8.3 betas, and unfortunately we can’t go back now to check that (we’ve tried). But, let’s assume it was there, in which case it slipped thru the cracks and was not caught by anyone — us/Garmin/Dual/ForeFlight/Jeppesen/Apple. We apologize for our part in this debacle.

We’ve already reviewed our internal testing process and are making changes to do a better job of covering the large test matrix of (iOS device models X iOS versions X Bad Elf device models X Bad Elf firmware X Bad Elf app X 3rd party apps). We’ll do a blog post with debrief of these findings/changes once this is all resolved in the next few weeks.

Unfortunately, there will always be the potential for breaking changes since Apple does not typically do beta releases for point releases (ie: 8.2.x) — which is why everyone recommends NOT upgrading to any new iOS release for the first week it’s available, unless you can risk breaking changes. And many users such as commercial/military pilots are prohibited from doing updates until approved by their management or chief pilots. It’s the nature of the beast.

You can read my comment below re: Garmin “fixing” the issue (they didn’t), and what we’re doing to work around this Apple bug via a firmware update for the Bad Elf GPS Pro in the meantime.

I’ll drop you a note directly to see if there’s anything we can do to help. As always, our support team is standing by, just drop a note to support@bad-elf.com.

Best regards,

SO me too. I have a Garmin #3263a and from 8.3 update didn't work!!!

They could all contract with the same software/firmware developer and they all believed they were actively testing the new iOS version.

You could wait 24 hours and then check the websites for the devices to see if they are working.

Irene : I Bought a gns 2000 , and last year it worked on charts , but This year No communication between iPad is possible.

Why is Apple not capabel to solve This GPS problem

Have you read all this thread?
