will this work with NavFree USA? If so then the app to run it would be free. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/navfree-usa/id405922167?cjid=10492644-1225267-u0t2499803f4fp0c0s5814

According to the manufactures Web site, not yet. They are working on it. By the end of the year? Maybe. But see the Bad Elf GPS Receiver for iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad. Also for sale on Amazon.

I have an Ipod and it works great with the docking station. If your docking connection is the same as the Ipod touch it will work just fine.

That depends on the mapping software you use it with. The software that comes with the unit will provide lat/lon and altitude at each refresh period. The mapping software I use provides location on the map, but no breadcrumb trail. My garmin unit and Garmin maps do provide that information, but I have not used the Garmin maps for the Ipod yet.

I have used a classic and a 5th generation. The manual lists that track wheels ipods will work. There are also adapters included. I can't get the sound bar display to show any info from ipod though.

Have you checked called Apple to see if the IOS on an iTouch2 supports this device? I researched online to see which ones would work well with my iPad2, then purchased it here.

Yes, that is what I ended up using. I would avoid this device. It needs a lot of upgrades. You need wifi in order to use Google Maps. My android phone worked way better. The screen resolution sucks as well. Garmin support was completely worthless. It took three phone calls before they told me that it does not interface with apple. I would STRONGLY recommend staying away from this device until serious upgrades are made. I'll sell you my device if would want it that bad. It is WORTHLESS!

Yes, It works on my Apple IPad. I've used the maps function and it works great. If the GPS did't work the map function wouldn't work.

You need no app. As for a 2nd gen iPod touch I would say yes. But can be completely sure.

US nautical charts should be pre-installed on the GPS. I verified this at Wesport in MA and it had the details of the passage to the port. Never been to Puget Sound before, so can not confirm. Suggest to ask the question to Garmin to be absolutely sure your area is pre-installed as well. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks! I will check out the bad elf gps receiver, maybe it would be worthwhile for my ipod 4g.

I expect it to work, the output of the unit is generic NMEA and I have used it with 3 or 4 different NAV programs without issue. This is BY FAR one of the best GPS pucks out there. I have not tried Streets & trips, but honestly I'm 98% sure it will work. And work well.

fannie lou, sounds like you got a lemon. I'd return if it was me. And regardless would return it since you already have docking systems. The charging issue is a known one, if you have older docking systems, it may likely not work. New docking systems will most likely work. That does suck. My attitude is that the Nano 4th gen is great for first time ipod users like myself (who will buy new docking stations anyway), not so good for existing users.

This is just the GPS signal receiver, not a complete GPS unit. It works well, but specific features such as altimeter readings are going to depend on which iPod app you use. Many people end up using several apps, depending on need. I use Gaia w/ USGS topo maps loaded, which of course give altitude readings with the topo lines. The basic app that comes with the UltiMate gives speed and altitude readings, although I have no way of knowing how accurate they are.

Dubbie, did you ever get a reply regarding this product working with an iTouch? I would like to know as well

Yes definitely, but it may need to be a newerModel. See if you can download the app for free and run it before buying the unit.My ipod said I had to upgrade the ios software then I realized it was the first generation and it was to old.
