So I believe is a great device to use it from riding a bike to flying a wide body jet aircraft .

I bought mine a few years ago. Today, I would strongly consider something with ADSB in.- Was this review helpful? Yes (1) No (0)

I fly a Cessna 172, where would this be placed in the cockpit?BEST ANSWER: Hi,
I fly a 172 as well. I either hang it around my neck, or I hang it from the left side vent tube, or the light below and aft of the vent tube. I like to be able to quickly refer to the airspeed, track, altitude, and accuracy on the face if, just in case my IPAD quits. I've never had a problem with the unit in the 3 or so years I've been using it.- Reply

I fly the Airbus A-320 at work, the DUAL units struggle to lock on through the heated windows. Anyone have luck with this unit in an Airbus?BEST ANSWER: I don't use my Bad Elf in an airliner. My company uses the Bad Elf units on the ground in service trucks that have some heated windows and we've not had any issues.- Reply

The picture of the Pro+ shows that it is capable of displaying decimal degrees to six decimal places. Is that accurate?BEST ANSWER: The display of 6 decimals places is equivalent to 11 cms accuracy in the position coordinates at 0 mts elevation. Obviously the max. accuracy of the gps may be about 3 mts without WAAS, and 30 cms with WAAS. The extra display accuracy could be useful to improve the accuracy of the coordinates of a given point by taking repeated measurements and computing an average with them. Using this method with WAAS ENABLED, accuracies below 30 cms could be obtained in the position of point.- Reply

? You did not list the I phone 6 or 6+. Will this unit work with these models.BEST ANSWER: Hello Greg
Sorry i'mnot able to answer as i have an old generation Iphone!
I buy the Bad elf for airline use ,as we use a Lufthansa moving map on our Ipad, but with the internal Gps you don,t have enough battery for longhaul flight. The badelf is perfect, quick acquisition and enough battery for 12 h of flight.
