I'm using the Dual XGPS 150 with my adevices (it works just as well with idevices). It looks to be smaller than that Garmin thingee. It comes with a velco wrist strap (good for hooking/hanging on anything sticking out) and a non-slip rubber mount for putting on dash (not attached in any way, secured by g-ravity). But, it only provides a Bluetooth signal for 1 device (as appears to be the case for the Garmin too).
The Bad Elf Pro, on the other hand, provides a signal for 5 devices, but is double-ish the price. If others on board want a GPS signal too, the Bad Elf Pro is the way to go.

I am sure its been covered before but with all these pages its easier to ask again sorry:
I am flying along on a plan and want to add a waypoint near my track but when I touch it and add it to the plan I get a track to it from my final destination, what am I missing? Can I just add it so it diverts my current track?

Tap on the pink track line, it turns to yellow with a fuzzy pink thing on it and drag this to your off track waypoint. Pick out the appropriate way point from the drop down box and then "select insert into plan".

Hi guys,
Also, while we're on the subject of tracks - is there any way to mark the time you are in a certain position on your track? Same as you would when following a pencil line on a paper chart so you can keep an eye on where you are/were for revising ETA/position reporting etc.....
Cheers

Yeah the new update fixes the dreaded black map tiles waiting for the internet to load (previously not a problem with no internet, or fast internet). Now should work really well on bad internet too (the kind that times out but takes 10 seconds before it gives up and moves onto the next tile).
Probably dropping a user waypoint using the little teardrop button at the top is what you are after to log positions (it spits one out under your present position. Also useful for SAR's or a variety of applications).

RS: how do you go with mounting the GLO? Does it need to be positioned on the dash with a clear view above and does it have a grippy bottom or suction cup?"
The recent bluetooth GPS recievers for iPad and Android are extraordinarily sensitive.
I have a Dual Xgps150, and a Garnib Glo.
Both are very fast to get a fix, and hang onto satellites even deep inside a room.
The Glo picks up both gps and Glonass satellites.
I prefer the Dual as it has an app thst will show how many satellites it is receiving - the Garmin Glo does not.
As to mounting, they are all very small, and I have found best way is sticky velcro patch on unit, and one on dash, and all is sweet.

Q. I've deleted the WAC charts for Aus and downloaded new WAC but now I don't have a 'WAC' option in the 'Choose Map' panel.???
Th WAC worked at first but I changed to PNG wac's and when I came back there was no option to change back to OZ WAC.

You may not be in Australia. That shows maps for your position.
Turn on the screen cursor (little cogs menu) and it will show maps for the cursor position instead

I have tried as well and can't seem to get to work.
It always states that the take off weight is incorrect. [ Reading too high ]
Also I must be missing something as I can't find how to enter MLW.
Any help would be good

Changes to Map View options available
Howdy guys,
I've just been snooping around my Oz runways latest update ( 3.3 4140 ) and something isn't right.
I can no longer change the Map View options to select things like Points of Interest (IFR waypoints, GPS waypoints, User Waypoints etc ) on or off.......the option is gone!
Where have these viewing options gone to?
Cheers

Nitty, do you have the little icon down the bottom right that is three circles with the dot in the middle next to the "cog" icon?
Not the very bottom row, the one above it at the bottom of the map.

Sorry I'm dragging the chain a bit !
POI menu in cogs is *poof* gone !
Simplifying the menu's to make it easier to navigate. You can bring up all the map overlays by tapping on the icons on the left toolbar now.
If you cannot see the left toolbar, there should be a little tab on the left you can tap or pull out. Tap on the blue circle to bring up all the AD's, etc.
If they don't come up, you may need to zoom in a little (it auto-declutters by removing them as you zoom out so you don't have zillion ALA's showing for example).

Hey guys, just loaded the new update and I may have found a bug.
When I set sector entry to on, and direct to an airport with an aid the holding pattern comes up fine on the destination airport however if I now choose another airport as my destination the holding pattern only shows up on the original destination. It crashed a few times whilst I was playing with this. Ipad 2 with all the latest updates.
