About

Your Wi‑Fi‑only iPad has no GPS of its own. In flight, without Wi‑Fi, your EFB loses ownship. Your iPhone has a real GPS receiver — GPS Relay sends its position to your iPad over Bluetooth, and your flight app shows it as a GPS device. NO EXTRA HARDWARE • No hotspot, no cables, no external GPS box. • Works in airplane mode, as long as Bluetooth stays on. • Everything stays on your two devices. Nothing goes over the internet. WORKS WITH YOUR FLIGHT APP GPS Relay feeds the iPad like a GDL 90 compatible GPS receiver, on the iPad itself: • ForeFlight — nothing to set up. • Jeppesen FliteDeck Pro — switch on its GDL90 Compatible Device input (port 4000). • Other EFBs that accept a GDL 90 device on UDP port 4000. SET UP IN TWO MINUTES A step-by-step guide on each device: allow Bluetooth and location, check that both screens show the same 4-letter code, put the iPhone at a window. Done. SET AND FORGET • The iPhone keeps relaying with the screen locked; the iPad keeps feeding your EFB in the background. • Preflight checklist on both devices: what's ready turns green. • Honest accuracy: your EFB gets the iPhone's real accuracy, so it can hide ownship when GPS is too weak. • Alerts if the link drops or the iPhone loses GPS (for example when it is away from a window). • STOP switches GPS, Bluetooth and background activity completely off. FREE TO START Your first 2 hours of relay time are free, counted only while your iPad actually receives GPS. After that, unlock GPS Relay once with an in‑app purchase — no subscription. One purchase covers your iPhone and iPad (same Apple ID); the iPad side never needs it. WHAT YOU NEED • An iPhone (the GPS source) and an iPad, both with GPS Relay installed. • Bluetooth on both. Keep the iPhone at a window: the airplane's skin blocks GPS. IMPORTANT GPS Relay is for situational awareness only. It is not certified and must not be used as a primary means of navigation. Follow your operator's procedures and regulations for portable electronic devices. ForeFlight is a trademark of ForeFlight LLC. Jeppesen and FliteDeck are trademarks of Jeppesen / The Boeing Company.
