User reviews

Works well

Works well in tandem with the matching receiver app. Now if only you could get Apple Maps to use the data....sigh.

Needs Mac support

please make your iPhone app “LE GPS” compatible with sharing its Bluetooth GPS data with a Mac computer.

Worked - just not for my needs

It does display gps data from, for example, an iPhone to WiFi iPad but this gps data is invisible to navigation apps as waze and google maps. I was hoping to have my iPhone gps data transmit and allow me to use my iPad for turn-by-turn navigation.

Worked well

Thanks. The app helped me develop a transmitter on another platform.

Doesn't Work

Wanted to use my iPhone's GPS & Bluetooth to connect w/ my surface device... a no go! Doesn't work on my iPad either... don't bother getting...
