*** The UltiMate GPS App requires Emprum's UltiMate GPS accessory for full functionality ***
Emprum's UltiMate GPS App is the ultimate resource to control and interact with Emprum's UltiMate GPS accessory. It provides the following functionality:
* GPS View: displays GPS data from Emprum's UltiMate GPS accessory (lat, long, alt, speed, bearing, GPS fix mode, accuracy, dilution of precision, GPS time and date) or from the CoreLocation framework (lat, long, alt, speed and bearing only).
* Satellite View: displays GPS satellites in view and their signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as reported by Emprum's UltiMate GPS accessory.
* Hardware View: displays settings of the UltiMate GPS accessory and utility buttons to interact with the UltiMate GPS accessory (AGPS data upload for faster lock times, hot/warm/cold restarts, factory reset, firmware updates).
* Preferences View: allows customization of the settings of Emprum's UltiMate GPS App and shows version information as well as Emprum's Business Philosophy (going green and a humanitarian cause).
*Assisted GPS (AGPS) data upload to the UltiMate GPS accessory is now available for GPS satellite orbit prediction and faster GPS lock times. An uploaded AGPS data set will store 2 weeks of satellite orbits into the UltiMate GPS accessory. AGPS related information is available from the Hardware tab.
* Includes UltiMate GPS firmware v1.0.8 which supports full NMEA support for third party App Store applications like e.g. Harry's LapTimer.

must have GPS accessory
looking for S/N
could not find accessory required for operation. Will check back. It was a free app. the location works in first screen shot
Sucker
Taken by poor literature
Listing should have stated that an external GPS receiver is required at a cost of approximately $90 in order to use this app. Bad news
Wake up and read, people!

Of course you need the UltiMate GPS module attached to your iPod touch. There. Is no GPS unit in the iPod. But the little one inch module works great! It took me going through five apps to find what I wanted, but the DBsys tracking GPS app with the Google map even showed which side of the street I was walking on. This app is used mainly to control some of the modules features. Read the description folks. And, no, I do not work for either Emprum or DBSys.
Great app & customer service

Bought their GPS receiver and added this app. It flawlessly updated firmware on their receiver, pushed fresh AGPS data to it, etc. It gives plenty of info on GPS state of the receiver and great granular control over it. I think it is important to remember this app is designed to augment their hardware. Their hardware GPS receiver works fine with several mapping apps on my iPod Touch. Customer service practically answers your email questions before you hit the "send" button. If you device does not have a built-in compass, you need to be moving to get compass info. I forgot the iPod Touch has no compass. Tech support straightened me out on that one.
Great work!

I use this software and ultimate gps with my semi truck business and it works great! I use ALK software in combination with my iPad 2 and never got lost once! Highly recommended.
What a scam!!!!!

Ripped off by an app. - first time ever! This app makes you buy their gps receiver instead of using an iPhone's built in receiver. I want my money back. Get Trimble's free app"my topo maps" instead - its free and it's a great app!
Best Navigation tool I've bought

I downloaded this to set up Emprum's GPS. Used it on an ipad3 with the TomTom app. It provides five times the frequency of update, faster satellite acquisition, more accurate location than the embedded GPS. We hit every roundabout perfectly. The little thing was great.
Nothing but a sales gimmick

They want you to buy their external GPS tuner which I guess would work with this. Useless for the iPhone's built in GPS.
