With no apparent solution arriving before the first half of June two months after this started and no assurance that it will be corrected or that it won’t happen again is troubling. It looks that not only is nothing happening, it’s not even happening fast. Rest assured we are doing everything in our power to get this resolved and will send another email when we have any new information.įor future updates on the iOS 8.3 situation, please view the latest information on our supplemental blog post, available here. If you are a pilot grounded by this issue, please contact us via email to and we’ll see what we can do to help. Some customers have reported successfully downgrading their iOS back to iOS 8.2, but we can’t recommend that process to our customers - it’s not supported by Apple and requires a complete wipe of your settings/apps/data. We have confirmed that the beta iOS 8.4 released earlier this week has the same GPS issue. In the meantime, we’re exploring several possible workarounds. Update (Thursday 16-April): We're still awaiting any news from Apple. We're optimistic it will be fixed in the next iOS 8.3.x release, and will post updates as we receive them.
Update (Monday 13-April): We've passed all of the necessary information to Apple Support and got confirmation over the weekend that it has been passed to the correct team.
In the meantime, we recommend you wait to upgrade your Apple devices to iOS 8.3.
We are working with Apple to resolve this issue and will provide status updates as we get more information.
Our newer GPS accessories, including the Bad Elf GPS for Lightning (BE-GPS-1008), Bad Elf GPS Pro+ (BE-GPS-2300), and Bad Elf GNSS Surveyor (BE-GPS-3300) do not seem to be negatively impacted. We are investigating reports that iOS 8.3 (released by Apple earlier this week) is not feeding GPS data from most external GPS receivers into 3rd party apps, such as ForeFlight, WingX, JeppFD, Navionics, and others. We have reproduced this issue in our lab and confirmed that this issue is not unique to Bad Elf GPS receivers, but affects other GPS receivers from Garmin and Dual Electronics as well.
