So far, this device works well during flights, appears to be accurate in comparison with the panel mounted gpss. I use Garmin pilot on a Samsung S7 tablet. For android devices like Samsungs I had to the get the app Bluetooth GNSS and had to go it the developer mode of the device to change the gps from internal to a connected device. To use the Bluetooth GPS, you must connect through the GNSS app each time. It has worked flawlessly so far.

A friend is using this for airline flying. Modern 777 cockpit does not allow ipads to display position. Has flown with the Bad Elf and experienced spotty connection issues. This thing is rock solid for up to 4 crewmembers to connect to and even indicates upstairs in the rest area. 13 hour battery almost does an atlantic round trip from the states, and will do any destination one way. It is a huge safety necessity during taxi and a nice addition in all phases of flight. 5 stars for the glo 2
