NOel,
I think you hit the nail on the head. You'd have less battery drain if you used
an external receiver, and you'd theoretically have better accuracy. But you'd
also have to carry an extra little device. And if you're happy with the iPhone
and no extra receiver, and battery drain hasn't been
What would be advantages of using a bt GPS receiver vs the built in
iPhone 5 receiver? Less drain on iPhone battery? Accuracy?
I regularly get 13 ft accuracy which is much better than my old 5 but
I had a bt GPS I used with my trekker and it was ok, great for its
time

The 747 would be a bit more expensive because it also has logging capabilities.

Here's the thing: to work with iOS, a bluetooth receiver has to be certified by
Apple. Some are, and most aren't which is why some work and some don't. A quick
google search should provide a list of compatible receivers. Again, though, if
the Sendero app does not cache maps, this is all moot sin
The receivers are standard, and Mike, I bet when you bought some or all of
those receivers, they were not 20 bucks. I have an iblue 747, for instance, and
it didn't cost me 20 bucks. I haven't checked the prices of the two that Cara
mentioned lately, but they are bluetooth and they are standard
Wonder how much those receivers are. Are they bluetooth? I have several
bluetooth receivers that do not work, the holux 1000, the qstarz 818,
and the iblue 737. These use mtk chip sets which are quite accurate.
Each receiver costs around $20

Hi Mike, can you clarify your comment about the external receivers not working
with iDevices?
Obviously the Dual Electronics XGPS and Garmin GLO both work quite nicely with
the iDevices and they are standard units. What did you mean to say?
Thanks a bunch and have a great day!
Smiles,
Cara :)
