I am in the market of buying either a aviation GPS or an ipad mini. Obviously can't afford both atm.
Anyone had any problems with reliability? I mean I will always have my WACs and all.
Or recommend a GPS approx 500 bucks?
Hi Deadcut. External iPad GPS units are exceptionally accurate now and can give you a great position for whichever of the two indigenous air navigation apps in Australia you use.
Some units use just the US GPS Network whilst others use both the US GPS network and the Russian GLONASS system.
It's always best that you review the pricing of the units and your circumstances. You can check out various
iPad GPS Unit options here.
