Does it interfere with my GPS? (iphone 5) After I put it on my GPS location is approximately 1,000-1,500 away from my location. It used to be close.

I use the maps and navigation on my iPhone 5c a lot. I have not noticed that the distance is off. No problems for me.

No. Has no affect on gps signal. A phone case made from metal or aluminum will affect the signal the most. I use a UAG case and the combo is perfect.

I read somewhere that the interference was a result of the wifi being on in the camera, they say to turn it off. Another solution has been to wrap the camera in aluminum foil to help with the camera interfering with the GPS. I am not sure this will work for you, but others have said they have had success with these methods

You're lucky with 4 feet. If I touch my phone it loses signal. If I switch to another app I lose signal (iPhone 4S and iPhone 5S). I also like a mile south of a WGN radio tower and a half mile North of a WBBM radio tower and 20 miles West of O'Hare airport.

I changed my setting several months ago, trying lots of things, unsuccessfully. Finally, and I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but in the setting mode, I changed my "GPS Demonstration" to "on." Until that time, nearby points of interest were printing on the bottom of my photos. That is no longer happening. Hope this helps.

I have not gotten it to play music while I am using GPS. However, I didn't hook up all the extra wires either because the instructions suck! GPS map update? I don't know about updating GPS maps because the original seller should know this answer and they never respond. They always send us consumers questions to answer for others. Rear view camera at night? I don't know because first: I did not receive a camera from the seller even though they said that it was in the box and they lied to me. I bought my own camera and get this: There is a separate button you push to engage the rear view camera after you put it into reverse gear. Weird, right? What do you expect from non-US made products.

No, and honestly, I don't think you need it. Bad elf was great on older iPhone iPads without built in GPS location capabilities. Mine is just collecting dust.

It's Bluetooth so it is better to be close, but 6 feet should be plenty close. IOS devices are often a bit hit and miss for consistent wireless connectivity, try a full power off on your iPad in case it is an issue at that end. Also try the swingbyte on a different device, that might identify an issue on the swingbyte.

I used my running for 2 hours this past Saturday and it didn't affect my GPS app at all. I love this thing!!!

Hi Hasan, Dumb question, did you charge the cradle first? You can tell if it has a change by turning it to GPS and touching the button below it. If the blue lights come on you are good to go. If not, switch it to Battery and charge it for a few hours. This is not a BT device, so there is no need to search for it. You should be able to attach your touch to it, turn it to GPS, and then launch your GPS software. I had one for my 4th gen touch and it worked great with the Garmin driving software... until iOS6 came out. Once I upgraded to iOS6, it wouldn't work. I got frustrated with it, and since I was due for a new phone, I went Android with a built in GPS. I really think that iOS is the issue, as mine was great until then. But like I said, I gave up after playing with it for about 3 hours. I suggest you contact Dual if nothing else works. James

There isn't any delay that I can tell. But the range isn't far so you don't want your device too far away from the device. I say I'm maybe 35-40 feet away before it starts dropping off. Better unit than the others I've bought

I dont think it effects the gps signal. Ive used google ms ps for navigation and there were no issues. Excellent battery life by the way.

It doesn't. In fact it blocks my radio so badly I can't use the radio without removing the GPS. I'm going to toss it. It's not worth the trouble to send back for a refund. I would not recommend this to anyone unless they simply do not listen to their in car radio system at all.

I think it's supposed to but I find it so user unfriendly that I'm not sure. My car gps works much better in the car and my phone works better walking. I suspect it's for the hiking geek who has paper maps and other things to help him out our just wants to see his location, etc

I use GPS all the time and haven't noticed any difference. When mounted, the magnet is dead center on the back of my phone. Maybe there aren't any GPS receivers right there. As I mentioned in another post, the magnet isn't quite strong enough to hold the metal plate through a thin otter box. Maybe that is the reason the GPS isn't being affected.

I don't leave the GPS on on my phone. I'm assuming it does, as the internet works on my phone when in case.

Yea it will still work. I dont have a GPS neither and it works fine for me.

There is a setting to adjust the sound of the GPS voice and the music does go down when there are directions to be spoken but be aware that the GPS SUCKS!!! It tells me you have reached your destination on the left and it's either a mile or so up the road or it gives the wrong side. I have had nothing but problems with it, I should have just stuck with my Garmin. TERRIBLE!!!
