Bad Elf 2200 Professional GPS Receiver (Black and Silver)

AR: I have used several GPS models to add ownership to FD Pro in the cockpits of several different aircraft, including the A-319, -302, -321, B-757, B-767, B-777, and B-787. The Bad Elf Pro+ works in some aircraft, but it does not work in the B-787. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! The DUAL 150 and the BAD ELF Pro+ are worthless for aviators.

The best, most reliable, and most accurate choice is the Bad Elf Pro. The second best option is the DUAL 160.

* When you arrive at the cockpit, allow the GPS ample time to acquire the signal and lock on to the satellites. I recommend placing it in your pocket for the walk-around to allow a clear view of the sky. This seems to make a huge difference in reliability during the flight.

Amazon Kunde: Wertige Verarbeitung - problemlose und intuitive Bedienung - einfacher Zugriff auf die Daten. Dazu super Empfang und hohe Genauigkeit. Wer einen GPS Logger sucht, der genau diese Attribute erfüllen soll, kommt an diesem Gerät nicht vorbei. Der Preis ist sicher etwas hoch, relativiert sich aber, da keine monatlichen Folgekosten wie bei anderen Lösungen anfallen. Ich benutze das Gerät zum Aufzeichnen von gefahrenen Tracks und zum Fototagging in einer Apple Umgebung und bin sehr zufrieden damit

Ivory Dust: Ever since I got the Bad Elf GPS Pro 2200 I use it wherever I go, and specifically got it to go off grid in areas we usually wouldn’t venture or get lost in the middle of finding. When I got the GPS it locked onto the satellites within a couple of seconds I fiddled with a couple of settings on my Wi-Fi only IPad Air 2 and I was on the road with Google Maps for offline navigation and the Bad Elf app to download my logs. Very easy to use and each settings toggle is very descriptive. The box comes with the Bad Elf GPS, charge cable, pamphlet and lanyard. The lanyard I think is poorly designed and the breakaway at the neck is right in the middle, it’s very awkward and makes the lanyard itself so weak it comes right off with a slight tug. A molle or custom pouch with an opening for the screen and buttons would be nice, a silicone skin for the small (and easily dropped) device would be ideal. Really bothers me when small (expensive) devices like this don’t as least come with protective options for the body. The next day I noticed issues with locking onto GPS even though I was locking onto 8-11 satellites. The Bad Elf does absolutely nothing without satellite lock (cant even...

昔からのファンだからこそ: 価格、精度が同等のDual XGPS160 SkyPro GPS Receiverと迷ってこちらを購入しましたが、XGPS160はGLONASS対応してるのに、こちらは対応してなかったんですね・・何故か対応してると思いこんでました。
せっかく購入したのに、この点は失敗した気がします。

daichi0102: 4月末に注文して商品が到着。早速ipodtouchとBluetooth接続して、促されるままにiOS用のAppをインストールすると、ファームウエアのアップデータがあるとのこと。適用しようとしたところ、本体がフリーズしてしまいました。しかたなく電源を切ると今度は一切電源が入らなくなって立ち往生。まだ一度も使用していないのに・・・。

Anton Swanepoel: I have been using the bad elf now for two moths, as I backpack. Travelled through Arizona, and now going through Cambodia.

I connect the device to my iPod touch 5th gen. iPad mini (with GPS) and iPhone 4, all at the same time. While walking between buildings, riding on my motorbike far out in the country, sometimes under trees, and even when climbing the Angkor temples, the device performs exceptionally well.

Firstly it gives gps functionality to my iPod touch, thus any pictures I take now have geotagging. Secondly, it greatly improves my ipad and iPhone's GPS accuracy. At places I have switched the bluetooth off on both the ipad and iPhone, and the internal gps could not get a fix. Switch the bluetooth back on, and connect to the bad elf, and get a gps fix instantly.

On the flight over from America to Tokyo, and then to Malaysia, and on to Siem reap, I managed to get exact speeds on the GPS display as the in flight information, even at 497 miles an hour. I had the device in my pants pocket, and it managed to track most of the time. However, there were points where the device lost connection totally, and even putting it against the window had no effect. At...
