iOS 6 bumpy start but ok now

I have been using the XGPS150A with mapmyfitness and Geocaching. Brings GPS to my iPod, LOVE that! No longer need to carry my handheld Garmin. Sometimes have problems getting the GPS to lock in the other apps but it USUALLY works. Would not work in mapmyfitness for a few days with iOS 6 but ok now.
iOS 6 has problems with this

So.... First of all. The guy that down voted this because you need the xgps150 to use this... Just wow. Lol. OK! This app is simple and amazing. Shows the connection to the GPS and the battery life, simple and easy. There is a current bug for some in iOS 6 that is making this not work for some. Restoring usually fixes it. Bummer.
Buggy after iOS 6

This is the only app that can always read the device. After the iOS 6 upgrade apps won't connect reliably to the Dual unit. One app displays "Poor signal" and another won't display an error or work. I suspect the communication errors are iOS errors possibly outside the control of developers. But what is odd is that this app sees the GPS and reports a location but apps trying to read it cannot. Or at least cannot reliably read the device.
Very pleased

I made the mistake of getting the new iPad without cellular. I did not know that there was not a GPS chip in it. Kinda felt mislead. Anyways i got the XGPS150 and with this app I am very pleased. If you want a good Bluetooth GPS get the 150 and this app. Just remember you need a mapping app that has downloadable maps that can be used offline. I love having this huge screen running my maps.
IOS 6 problems

Worked great with my iPod until the IOS 6 update. now nothing will connect except the Dual gps app. I had tried everything I can think of but to no avail. Hope they fix it soon.
Help!

Since ios6 came out, no apps besides this one will recognize the Dual XGPS150A device. Very disappointed; hopefully something will be done in the near future to fix this. Prior to ios6 screwing things up, it worked very nicely. My rating is for this app, which works.
