No app required. It is just supposed to work. The Bluetooth is connecting, so they are talking to each other, but memory maps just isn't seeing it, and I can't find any settings in which to check if it needs to be set up differently...

There won't be any settings to configure. If iOS detects a valid external gps signal it will use that, even in preference to the internal gps. The application plugs into the iOS GPS framework, so if the iPad is getting a GPS signal apps can access it.Quote:

There are a couple of apps you can use to check the low level gps information to see if the iPad is recognising the external GPS at all.
I've used GPS Info! and GPS Data. Grab one of those first, as this will let you see if the iPad is actually getting any data from the GPS dongle. It eliminates higher level apps from the equation.
It seems some people are having trouble with external BT GPS units since the update to iOS6. https://discussions.apple.com/thread...art=0&tstart=0

Ok, downloaded GPS Data and it is seeing the GPS no dramas - and now memory maps does as well... I have done nothing except that and now it works - Not sure why, but I'm not complaining. Location services have been on the whole time - could GPS data have turned something on that I missed?
It'll take it for a spin and see if it works othe road now.
Thanks for all your help - Gav:)
