Gaia GPS can use external GPS devices such as the Dual Electronics XGPS and Bad Elf. This is especially useful for users that have devices without built in GPS chips, such as Wifi-only iPads. External GPS devices can also provide greater accuracy and frequency than the built-in GPS. Android devices connect to external GPS devices in different ways. The Bad Elf GPS (BE-GPS-1000), an external GPS receiver, plugs directly into to your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad through the 30-pin dock connector. It then supplies direct satellite GPS data to Core Location Services, which GPS enabled Apps use when they run. The Bad Elf GPS delivers high performance location awareness through a 66 Channel, 10.
Control, configure and download tracks from your Bad Elf GPS.
Or Kobold.
This is a direct replacement for the official Bad Elf app, for Android. All of the configuration options in the official app are supported by Kobold. You can also download and delete tracks to free up space, essential if you're using it as a travel recorder or for geotagging.

New ADS-B Weather Layers
Get even more value out of your ADS-B receiver investment. ForeFlight now supports four new ADS-B weather products: Turbulence, Lightning, Cloud Tops, and Center Weather Advisories (CWAs). Look for the new layers next time you fly with a compatible ADS-B receiver like Sentry or Scout.
TURBULENCE
The new ADS-B Turbulence layer provides powerful inflight awareness with color-coded severity levels based on the EDR scale.
LIGHTNING
The Lightning layer is a perfect supplement to the radar layer to help you steer clear of dangerous convective activity.
CLOUD TOPS
Use the altitude slider to filter out low-level clouds (and ground clutter) so you can make more informed routing decisions.
CENTER WEATHER ADVISORIES
Integrated with the AIR/SIGMETs layer, these short-term weather reports keep you informed of developing hazards like icing or thunderstorms.
Low Battery Alert for Connected Portable Devices
ForeFlight warns you when a connected device like Sentry or Stratus reaches 20% battery, allowing you to take appropriate action with time to spare before it shuts down. The alert is currently provided for Sentry, Stratus, all supported Garmin portables, and SiriusXM’s SXAR1.

FLARM Traffic in ForeFlight
ForeFlight can display FLARM traffic in addition to ADS-B traffic for improved situational awareness and inflight safety. FLARM operates via air-to-air transmissions within 10km and displays basic information about a nearby aircraft's heading, speed, and altitude. ForeFlight supports FLARM devices that use the NMEA or GDL90 protocols to deliver traffic information, as well as uAvionix’s SkyEcho 2 ADS-B and FLARM transceiver.
You must purchase a FLARM Decoding License to display FLARM traffic when connected to a SkyEcho 2.
uAvionix skySensor ADS-B
ForeFlight connects to uAvionix's skySensor wing-mounted receiver to receive dual-band ADS-B traffic and weather, GPS position, and pressure altitude readings. skySensor is the ADS-B In complement to uAvionix's skyBeacon ADS-B Out transmitter, and also a green LED navigation position light and anti-collision strobe. skySensor connects via ForeFlight's extended GDL90 protocol, and will display as 'ADS-B' within the app.
