Ipad does not find its location.

I expected more. This application can not transfer geodata to navigation applications. That is, the navigator will not work. I see no reason to use this application. Ipad does not find its location.

Very cool with HTC One as the GPS device

Thank you Lee, this works very well as I have my IPAD 3/4 placed in my SUV for long trips, and easy viewing of our location by way of your app, this is very cool since I haven't splurged for the $50 TO $250 external GPS units available for my IPAD. This works, thank you.

Doesn't Work With Mobile Hotspot

This app cannot interpret NMEA output from an ATT MIFi Liberate. Even if it could, this is a very bare bones app. Although still not great, Harry's GPS Buddy offers a decent interface and decent list of features for NMEA wifi users on iPad or IPod.
