WingX pro7 and internal v. external gps

[Dale]

I have wingxpro and had been using the internal gps on my ipad2 for about 9 months and got great reception.  It always stayed locked, no problems at all.  Last week I downloaded cloud ahoy and all of a sudden my internal gps would not stay locked.  I deleted the app but I still could not get a steady gps lock anymore with the internal gps.  I don't know what happened.  A couple of questions:  Has anyone else had a similar problem and were you able to fix it?  If you use an external gps, which one do you use and why?  Do you use the bad elf or the dual and why did you choose one over the other.  Thanks.

I think it is just a coincidence. We are having the most solar activity in the sun's 11 year cycle. It is creating a lot of havoc on the satelites. I do use the Dual, and that seems to help.

I don't have the 3g model (ipad 2) so I use a bad elf but won't recommend it. Great when it's working, but easy to lose and becomes dislodged too easily. If I spring for another similar product I think it'll be a GPS/ADS-B unit like Clarity or Stratus.
