Re: Can an iPod with a Reciever Use GPS apps?
This is true, Although, I was doing a job of work in Reno last week and needed to teach GPS navigation. Since I'm an android user as well as an IOS user, I activated the wireless hotspot Tethering option on my android phone. Then I connected my IPod touch to the wifi hotspot in the phone and got internet connectivity for use with ariadne. A nice little workaround if I do say so myself.

RE: Can an iPod with a Reciever Use GPS apps?
It depends on what GPS app you will be running on an iPod Touch. Something like Navigon has all of its maps loaded onto the iDevice, therefore no internet connection is needed. Other GPS apps, like the sometime-to-be-released Seeing Eye GPS app from Sendero will require an internet connection. Since an iPod can only connect to the internet via WiFi any GPS app requiring the internet will not be much use out on the road. It's true that GPS apps get location information not just through the GPS receiver and the signal it receives from GPS satellites, but also by tapping into cell tower location information. However, I use an iPhone with no cell plan and the cell phone receiver turned off. And, I find using Navigon plenty accurate enough for my needs. HTH, Jeff At 08:54 PM 6/27/2013, you wrote: Hi.

RE: Can an iPod with a Reciever Use GPS apps?
Hi Donnie, I just thought I mention that there is no such thing as a data plan for an iPod Touch. There is no iPod Touch model that is 3G/LTE capable, only way to access any data with an iPod Touch is via WiFi so that of course wouldn't be an option for use with any GPS app that requires data. As Jeff already said, your only option would be an app such as Navigon which allows you to download the map data to your device. Apps such as BlindSquare, Ariadne GPS, Sendero LookAround etc. would not work. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Dani L Pagador Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2013 8:55 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Can an iPod with a Reciever Use GPS apps?

Can an iPod with a Reciever Use GPS apps?
Asking for a friend, is it possible to use a GPS receiver and GPS apps with an iPod? If so, would any Gps receiver make this possible?

Re: Can an iPod with a Reciever Use GPS apps?
If a person buys a GPS app that downloads the maps to the device like Navigon or Tom Tom, then an iPod Touch can be used for GPS. I believe there are two or three blue tooth GPS receivers now that work with iDevices. I have not seen or used any of them. Duel Electronics and BadElf are two I remember discussions about a year or more ago. amazon sold them both and I'm thinking there is another, but I can't remember the name.
