external GPS units for better accuracy and much longer battery life

Hi all, I've been doing some reading on use of external bluetooth gps receivers, which are supposed to have routine accuracy down to 2 meters, and which do not drain the battery on your phone because they have their own battery (which you must charge separately, nothing is for free!) One

RE: external GPS units for better accuracy and much longer battery life

I tried an external receiver for a while (it was the one from Garmin called the “Glo”) and I never noticed improved accuracy or greatly improved battery life. The question is how iOS uses such a receiver, does it indeed completely turn off the internal receiver if an external receiver is

The File Explorer app (which is only around $3) will both move files to your phone, and will also act as a music player for such files, regardless of whether they are located on your phone or on a network share. When I say "move to your phone", this is not in a location usable by Apple Music
