iPad Bad Elf Desert Mapping
iPad Bad Elf Desert Mapping
Last year at Death Valley, Top Line Jon was using an iPad linked to satellite for our route checking. Without cellular hook up he needed a device called Bad Elf ( http://bad-elf.com/2013/01/03/updates-on-lightning-based-ios-device-compatability/ ) which acts like a GPS chip and he needed preloaded maps of the area. I was really impressed with it. So, Christy got an iPad 4, 64 GB, WiFi no cellular model for Christmas ( how cool now I can use it ). Problem #1 with the new iPad 4 is a new cord connection, but Bad Elf came out with at Bluetooth model which fixed the problem of being able to run off a 12V and run the Bad Elf ( only one hook up connection on iPad ). I downloaded an app MotionX GPS HD ( note: not MotionX GPS DRIVE HD ). MotionX is highly praised and so far I'm impressed with the ease of it, even Jon's 1st impression was good. Bad Elf will connect 5 devices via Bluetooth up to 30 ft. and MotionX will allow you to automatically e-mail 5 friends every time you hit a waypoint. You can make your own waypoints at anytime on the trip. Also, take a photo of that waypoint with the iPad. It's a really cool program ( http://gps.motionx.com/ipad/overview/ ). I've ordered Bad Elf from Amazon and will keep you updated. I'm not an expert so if anyone finds any errors on my testimony feel free to comment.
