Fantastic product, you won't be disappointed!
- By Bruce from Grand Junction, CO on Sunday, April 12, 2015
- Pros: Simple to use. Money well spent.
- Cons: None
- Review: Easy to set up with my new Ipad Mini. I didn't want the extra cost of buying a mini, with built in GPS, from Verizon and paying for a data plan. The Bad ELf Pro is a great alternative. From what I've read, an external GPS is more reliable and accurate for flying than the built in GPS on the Ipads. The Bad Elf at $149 is a lot cheaper than a 2 year data plan from Verizon.

Great GPS in Small Package
- By Lon from Santa Monica CA USA on Wednesday, November 08, 2017
- Pros: Easy to use. Small, light and convenient. Reasonably priced. It was delivered to me even sooner than mypilotstore's expect-by date.
- Cons: It has an LCD Display, but it doesn't display distance. If it displayed distance, the Bad Elf would be great for hiking and exercise. As is, it's necessary to download logged data to the Bad Elf app to see how far the user has traveled.
- Review:
I bought this Bad Elf Pro after buying a new iPad Mini 4 that didn't have an internal GPS. The Bad Elf connects to the iPad effortlessly. I put the Bad Elf in my shirt pocket, and it runs the ForeFlight moving map and Track Log, perfectly.
The Bad Elf also has its own internal Data Logger, so it can be used by itself to record a flight. The recorded flight can then be transferred to my iPad and displayed on the Bad Elf app (available without charge) and on ForeFlight and Google Earth. I used this feature recently while doing transition training in a plane that was new to me. I didn't want to use ForeFlight during that training, because I was concerned it would distract me from what I was being taught. But I did want to have a visual record of the flights I took during that training, and I used the Bad Elf Data Logger to do that. - Was this review helpful to you?

Works great
- By Colin from Alaska, California on Thursday, July 21, 2016
- Pros: Works well
- Cons: Unique power cord means another thing I'm carrying around
- Review: I bought this and immediately took it on a several day 3000nm trip from Buffalo to Alaska. Battery life lasted the whole trip and I had zero issues with the unit losing gps reception. As long as this receiver continues to work reliably into the future I'll be convinced the iPad/fore flight/bad elf combo is my "go-to" gps solution

Changing LCD display units.
- By dennislee from 45.711, -121.888 on Tuesday, February 20, 2018
- Pros: Great GPS, I have had mine for years.
- Cons: Display window scratched and a little yellowed, after years
- Review:
Great GPS. Not mentioned that it has barometric altimeter. Not so useful in pressurized cockpit, great in ultralite.
Martin D from WA said in his review, "I don't like that the latitude and longitude are expressed in decimal form. This makes it difficult to reconcile Bad Elf positions with other devices which display degrees, minutes and seconds" but this is not true. From the app one can setup units displayed on the GPS LCD screen, including DD:MM:SS.
2nd item down on left (of app) where it has the name one has given their unit>
>>"Display Settings", on the "Product Details" window that opens on the right>>
>>>"Coordinates", on the "Display" page that opens>>>
>>>>DD.dddddd, or DD:MM.mmmm, or DD:MM:SS.ss, as one chooses.
There is a different place for changing the units in the app. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 11 Other people found this review helpful.

Best GPS receiver ever!
- By Ratso, F-18 pilot/TopGun instructor from Tampa FL USA on Monday, March 09, 2015
- Pros: Simple, small, sensitive to Sat frequencies. It has it all.
- Cons: None found yet.
- Review: I have owned a GPS receiver since they came out a couple of decades ago. But I have never had one that is this small yet powerful enough to pick up 12 - 15 satellites in seconds. Bluetooth paired with my iPad and I'm off and running, or flying as the case maybe. Truly unbelievable product.

Works great
- By Curtis from San Clemente CA USA on Wednesday, December 02, 2015
- Pros: Works great, easy to use, In the air or on the ground
- Cons: Hard to find a position to make it stay in one place
- Review: I have used this in many ways, flying, on vacation in Dubai. It works great. If you use with foreflight it's even better. If on vacation download the maps and carry this around and you'll never get lost. It works without wifi to keep your situational awareness at it's peak. I recommend for anyone. I'm an airline pilot and use it with my electronics and it works great there too.

- Cons: Display lens scratches too easily
- Review: This is a very nice product and works well on day hikes for recording my path in and out of the forest (desert, etc.). I hang this around my neck so I can easily read the time and altitude but found that the display screen gets light scratches from swinging side-to-side across my shirt or sweatshirt (no buttons). Other than the rare need to reboot my iPad and restart this device, it does everything I expected and all without draining the batteries in my iPhone/iPad to run their gps logging features. :)

- By Scot from Monterey Park CA USA on Tuesday, September 10, 2013

Bad Elf's pre-sales support, and then their product were both excellent. I utilize it with my WiFi-only iPad as a motorcycle and automotive Nav system, coupled with TomTom. Easy to setup and use.
But, sorry Bad Elf, as of Mid-2013, your port-cover is a failure. It is poorly designed and fitted, and will not stay in - and I guarantee that it is pushed in all the way (I use the "Extra Strong" rock-climber finger crunch for hand exercise). - Was this review helpful to you?

Simply Delivers
- By A Customer from Midland MI USA on Monday, August 05, 2013
- Pros: Simple Device Operation; Trip Recorder; Simple Integration to iPad
- Cons: Power Port Cover
- Review: This product delivers exactly what it advertises: GPS functionality for my iPad. It is small, has a long battery life, and integrates into the iPad extremely easily. The app has a simple map tool but it integrates into my other mapping tools easily too. I epecially like the trip record mode. It can show me simple things like actual trip routes, traffic patterns, or practice patterns. It is great to see where I am not making proper wind corrections. It is pretty much hands-free during flights and that allows me to focus on other things. The only draw-back is the dumb design for the charger port. The plastic does not grab the opening and is always hanging on its tether. Very minor annoyance though. I have also found it to be fun to use in non-aviation activities (walking, boating, driving) too.

Excellent Product
- By Charles from New Braunfels TX USA on Sunday, April 24, 2022
- Review: My company-issued iPad has spotty GPS performance resulting in ForeFlight position accuracy of typically 65m or worse. Bad Elf Pro instantly tightens this performance to 5m. The battery lasts for an amazingly long time, too. I am a charter pilot and recently, after using my Bad Elf Pro for a full day of flying, accidentally left it in the plane and powered on overnight. The battery was still strong the next morning and the unit continued to function fine throughout another full day of flying. I highly recommend this product.
