iPad Mini Upgrade…..kinda

Well, after thinking i was “saving” money by buying a WiFi only iPad Mini, and then getting a Garmin Nuvi ( which loves driving on the smallest roads possible, BUT NOT the main road…which is quicker! )

I decided to bite the bullet and “upgrade” the iPad and give it REAL GPS functionality

ENTER BAD ELF ( not to be confused with bad robot which is involved in film making!!! )

WD_2E43
WD_0003

WD_0002

And there tis… TomTom, RangeViewer and other offline map systems now have real time location without the need of Wifi, Gets a nice lock too with the GPS and is much better than the silly Garmin, Though to be honest would have saved money if a) i stuck with TomTom or/and b) got an iPad with Wifi and Cellnetowrk.

Anyway….works great!!!

  1. Bad Elf? who is he

  2. Bad Wolf’s cousin!
    :p

  3. Looking at the packageing I believe you will also requide a plane and a boat to get the bsst of your Bsd Elf. Can k come when you get them!

  4. Sure…though beware it seems when activated in the car I’m given the options of car, plane, boat or LTV ( grins )

  5. This is becoming very Bond esc. Surprising for you and I 😉

  6. Downside is that my current mount keep “unlocking” and dropping its “head” down thereby making it hard to see the map…need a better mount!

  7. You’ll have to get Q on it!
